Guest guest Posted December 11, 1999 Report Share Posted December 11, 1999 Hi guys, the complaining lady again, LOL! Dakota has been having a tummy ache on and off for about 2 weeks. I figured it was the flu. Today she keeps asking me to take her to the doctor. This is not like Dakota at all so I take her to the emergency room figuring they will tell her the same thing I did (that it was the flu) and tell her to drink fluids(like I have been telling her). Well we get there and her weight is down 6 lbs from 44 lbs to 38. She is 7 years old! Then the doctor looks at her and says he wants to do an Xray. The xray showed her large intestine is full of poop. I have to give her mineral oil and suppositories and then tomorrow laxatives and then take her back to the doctor Tuesday. Has anyone ever heard of this? She has not been eating for like a week but I figured she had the flu and as long as she was drinking she was ok, well her large intestine was so full of poop and gas that it has been pushing up on her stomach so she feels full all the time. This would explain why she takes one bite and then is full.
