Post bowel problems since infancy

Just trying to get help for my 11 year old niece. She has had problems with her bowels since she was an infant. The only time she can go is with ennemas, once in awhile she can go on her own, but very rare. My sister has taken her to specialists, but they can not find anything wrong. I am praying that someone else has some good advice.

She may not be drinking enough water. Set a timer every hour and have her drink a glass of water, not soda pop.

Using a little water in lower part of colon is o.k. not very much at any one time. Nutrients will be washed out otherwise which the child needs.

Is she eating plenty of roufage, fiber in her diet?
If not, then she should include lots of fiber along with lots of water. Fiber with little water will only make a person constipated, but with plenty of water it helps to eliminate.

If she was given high enemas all her life it may have
caused her to lose the natural urge of the colon to have a movement, therefore stools just keep stacking up.

I think my sister noticed the problem when she was trying to potty train her, my sister said she had problems as a baby too. Not sure of sepage though, but i know she has sepage now. Hopefully your little one will not have to go through what my niece is.
