| Crying before bowel movement
I'm trying to figure out what is wrong with my son. When he has to go to the bathroom, he cries hysterically. At first, I couldn't figure out why he was crying. I'd pick him up, burp him, try to feed him, bend his legs to relieve gas, nothing was working. Then, I would hold him sitting up with his knees bent and he would go to the bathroom. The crying would stop after that. Everytime he cries, I do the same thing, sit him up knees bent and he goes. Its not thick, so I don't thing it can be constipation. This has been going on for a few days. Now, I ate one or 2 oranges for a few days last week, usually I don't, so I think they would have caused gas. I haven't had any oranges for 2 days and still the same problems. Any advice on what could be wrong? Should I take him to the doctor even though he's going to the bathroom? It breaks my heart because he cries uncontrollably when this happens. He seems to be in so much pain when he has to go.
