Read what this amazing momma has to say about Shelby’s struggle with extreme constipation!
“Shelby was not pooping on her own. We got to the point where she would only poop when we did her 1x a week suppository. We had to take this approach since she ended up in the emergency room because she didn’t poop for almost 3 weeks. She hated them and wouldn’t lay on her back without hysterically crying.
We knew this wasn’t good since her body was relying on it, but we were worried she would go weeks again. When we were hitting the 1 week mark she would start puking and wouldn’t eat. I had IUGR when pregnant with Shelby, and she was born small, and her not pooping affected her eating drastically, so she wasn’t growing enough.
She would get extremely irritable and was so fussy. Her tummy was constantly hurting. Our lives were stressful and overwhelming, to say the least, at this time. knowing your child is in pain and nothing we were doing would help was too much to handle.
We felt like we were in this never-ending cycle and going nowhere. We tried every doctor and everything, and nothing worked. I came across our PX Docs office on Instagram and they had just posted about constipation. I thought, why not give it a shot?
A little over a week into her treatment when she pooped on her own. We were sooo happy! We were told it could take a bit of time, and she responded very quickly. It was amazing! From that point on, I knew this was the answer. I truly don’t know what we would do without our PX Docs office. They changed our family’s lives for the better, especially Shelby’s, of course. Shelby is finally thriving and showing her sweet side we new was there but was hidden by her constant discomfort.” 💙
