Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Hi all, our little girl has had a KUB test and it came back with " Foecal loading in the rectum and sigmoid colon. but no evidence of bowel obstruction'. she is on stage 5 SCD but we sometimes give goats milk yoghurt. I gave her some iron once but it constipated her . what can i give her for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Well, this is not medical advice (because I cannot give medical advice), but in this situation we were told to use a child's fleet enema and if that didn't work to use Dulcolax suppositories. The goat's milk yogurt should help to push out the " bad guys " and repopulate the gut with good bacteria. Iron supplements are definitely constipating. You can also try giving Elaine's constipation remedy each morning to see if that can help to preven this from happening again. Also, does she drink enough water?
