My four year old son has fectal incontinence like me and he is often constipated, how do i help him.?

p.s. i am the soon to be mom of Kristiana and Alessandra, so my belly is growing.

This is a question for his doctor.

Avoid constipating foods and drinks, such as white flour, sugar, cheese, fried foods, sweets, salt, beef, pasteurized milk, all junk food and carbonated drinks. I googled constipating foods to get this info.

I think the previous answerer eliminated just about all the food groups there!

Listen its pretty simple. Fresh fruit and fruit juices are known to help naturally ease constipation. High fiber diets are really great too. Be sure your son drinks plenty of water, juice, and milk as hydration is another key element.

For me, a bowl of raisin bran for breakfast always helps me stay regular. Dr.Pepper, though its considered unhealthy does contain prunes in the ingredients and is the only thing close to prunes that I would touch. But prunes are known to be the cure for that.

Walking and regular exercise can also relieve it. But if your son's constipation makes him so uncomfortable that he has fissures or blood in his stool, the doctor should be consulted about it. Chances are that with a dietary modification it will get better. But some people just have to drink metamucil or take special meds for it depending on the severity.
