If you have dealt with your child struggling with chronic constipation, you know the repercussions on their lives are significant, affecting their immune system, sleep, energy levels, and emotional regulation. If you have exhausted various remedies, including diet changes, prune juice, probiotics, and even Miralax, this is for you. We’ll delve into the genuine root causes of chronic constipation, extending beyond nutritional imbalances, and provide drug-free options to enhance your child’s quality of life. 

If you've already tried prebiotics, probiotics, prune juice, pureed prunes, and other natural remedies to no avail, this is for you. Even if you've resorted to over-the-counter or prescription medication like Miralax (which often comes with side effects like behavior issues and meltdowns), and you're still searching for a natural drug-free option- this is for you.

Unfortunately, many pediatricians tend to dismiss colic as just normal crying and may tell you they’ll grow out of it. But if your gut is telling you that something isn't right, it's time to dig deeper.

Standard pediatricians have been telling parents that certain conditions are just a part of childhood and that their children will grow out of them. However, this is not the case.

We understand it can be overwhelming to know where to start when your child faces challenges. We want to help unpack some of these challenges. The “little” things, such as eating, sleeping, and pooping struggles, can be tied to more significant challenges.

If your child is one of the 30% of children that struggles with constipation you know that constipation often leads to frustration, irritability and general unhappiness in kids of any age. It is also likely that you’ve heard of Miralax…

Parents know better than anyone that when it comes to constipation and irregular bowel movements it can be uncomfortable, upsetting and stressful for kids. Is there something more going on?

Frustratingly the most common advice parents are given still today is to let them cry it out, and also, “Don’t worry, they’ll grow out of it.” But as Pediatric Chiropractors, our entire obsession is with finding the cause of a child’s health condition, so that we can then know with certainty the best plan moving forward to help them heal and overcome it.

What parents of children with chronic constipation know all too well is that the challenges that come along with this health challenge don’t just stay in the digestive system.
