My son is 11 years old ad has constant abdominal pain. He has been to his pediatrician SEVERAL times, started a Miralax regimen due to an Xray showing mild constipation. He has a bowel movement everyday, even before the Miralax. He has been tested for a Gluten allergy whicChatDoctore back negative. He was sent to the pediatric ER because pediatrician doesn t know what to do. Their xray show that the constipation was still present, but not as prevalent. She did a rectal exam, the stool was not so hard that it should be causing him discomfort. She suggested a pepcid regimen. Also, to no avail.
