Hi My daughter is 5 and has suffered from constipation from a young age, she goes 2 or 3 times a week now, which is far better than before-but her stools are still very large, today I noticed she passed a hard stool which was streaked with bright blood, and following this she passed another softer stool, which was not. I have read on the internet I must use a stool softner, and increase the fibre in her diet-is this correct. At the mo I am giving her cod liver oil syrup which seems to be working well. Thanks for your help.
