my daughter is 2 months 1 week. she has had trouble pooping since birth. ive helped her with suppositories. and i gave her probiotic drops for a while and when i stopped she pooped good for a couple days, but her stool was watery with hard chunks in it. and she sometimes gasps and gulps when she sleeps. whats wrong with with her? could she have cystic fibrisis?
Hi, this type of symptoms can occur in cystic fibrosis. However, if you are giving formula feed or top milk then also chances of hard Poop can occur. In cystic fibrosis, there is CF mutation analysis present. Sweat chloride test is also done which is when more than 40 Mill mole per liter is positive. You should get the child examine by a doctor because these symptoms are not normal in a 2-month-old baby. Also, hyperthyroidism should be checked in child. Take care.
