PLEASE help me and my son!

My 6 year son is in constant pain. He has complained of stomach pain consistently for the past year. The surgeon checked him for a hernia but found nothing through the ultrasound. He has been diagnosed with chronic constipation for which he takes 17 grams of Miralax daily. He is getting no better. Now he is having very thin ribbon-like stools with great pain. He almost never feels "empty" he says. He complains of sharp anal pain even when he is not having movements. He is now afraid to defecate at all. He often wishes not to eat. I do not know where to go. All doctors dismiss this as "stress" or a stomach virus. They say they see nor feel anything but we know that there is something very wrong. I believe that whatever it is is getting worse and the pain has become more severe.

Please offer any comments, suggestions or feedback. I sincerely appreciate your responses as does my 6 year old son Zachary!

Re: PLEASE help me and my son!

Have they done full tests? Has he had a colonoscopy and endoscopy?

If they've looked at the insides of his esophagus, colon , etc.. At least you can be assured they have ruled out some pretty serious stuff.

Good luck. I wish I knew what to tell you other than get a second opinion and make sure he's had everything fully checked.

Re: PLEASE help me and my son!

I'd start him off with some fiber... Acacia fiber was specifically formulated for people with IBS.

Also a good probiotic supplement.

RBD has a very one of those, you might ask him which one has benefited him the most.

Re: PLEASE help me and my son!

No. They have not run the tests I feel are necessary but it's like they do not want to so I think I am going to have to take him to Cleveland, OH to a special clinic thre (we are in TN). Thanks for htat info.

As for fiber, he is on fiberCon everyday but I will look into the one that you stated. THanks you all for the advice. I pray it is only something like IBS and nothing serious like some form of cancer.
