Does constipation generally point to one intolerance??
« on: August 26, 2011, 22:49:52 pm »
Just looking for the reason for DD's sudden constipation problems at 8 months... are there any food intolerances that generally cause terrible, sudden constipation?

I find with both girls too much dairy is very constipating.

Bananas do it for us and too much cereal.

ugh... dairy would be a tough one to cut since her formula is milk based ;)  Don't think that is it though, she was never constipated until we were already 2 months into solids... I almost wonder if it was just the jump in the amount of solids that she is taking.. I am trying to get more water into her now :)

She won't eat cereal (except for a handful of Cheerios a day LOL), so I don't think that's it.  And we avoid bananas unless really ripe - since they can actually be laxative when over ripe :)

Sigh...

Prune juice??? (Ped. just told me to use this for DS if he goes too long without pooping and seemed in discomfort)

LOL!  This is far more serious constipation than what can be fixed with prune juice :)  We are in the land of suppositories and laxatives :(

Ooh yucky - poor thing!!!  Bananas, baby rice & bread are big triggers for us.   

We're dairy intolerant & that just caused runny poop explosions, rashes, eczema & cradle cap.  Never knew it could constipate too!

For my DD1 we never had an issue with the dairy being constipating when she was only have milk.  It was the cheese/yogurts etc that caused the constipation.   And it co incided with the increase in dairy in her diet and cutting a milk feed.

Good to know Shiv!  She doesn't really have much extra dairy in her diet right now and is still suffering... ugh.

My doc dis tell me that ANY change in diet can do it. So chloes switch to formula, starting solids, and jumping to "mainly" solids can all do it :)

That's what I thought Kat... I really think it all started because of the huge jump in her solids intake a couple weeks before we landed in the ER the first time.  She went from having 1-2 ozs with 2 and sometimes 3 meals a day to chowing a 7 oz bottle plus 2-3 ozs of food at every meal plus a BT bottle of 9 ozs... that combined with the travelling down south probably was a recipe for disaster... and it was much warmer in Vancouver too and she wasn't a big water drinker at the time...

Now it's just getting her back to "normal."  Sigh.
