4 year old cant have a bowel movement? She trys several times a day with a small amount of soft stool coming o


Question:
She trys several times a day with only a small amount of soft stool coming out, not hard. This has been going on for about of month. At first I thought she was constipated and gave her an enema after trying sencot and suppository. The stool that came out after the enema was not hard stool. Right now I'am giving her 2 teaspoons of mineral oil a day, water, prune apple juice, fresh fruit and vegtables, I have cut out anything I think that might be constipating. After 4 days of her trying to go and she cant, I give her sencot or a suppository and the last few times that didnt work and gave her an enema. I dont uderstand why she cant poop, she was going every day, and now its every 4 days with the help of sencot, a suppository or an enema. I do not like giving her suppositorys, enemas, or sencot because I dont want her dependent on them. Why cant she push the poop out when it is soft stool and not hard?

Answers:
What goes in comes out. What are you feeding her. Is she getting a balanced diet, sounds like you're feeding her all the wrong kind of things and to make matters worse you've probably got her worried and stressed out about her bowel movement and you have created a vicious circle. Please go to a doctor and a nutritionist and sort this matter out.
have you taken her to the doctor...surgery might be needed
