If a child had issues doing to the bathroom regularly as a child (around 4), then had constipation that lasted for a month (not being able to regularly pass stool, then being ok, then being clogged up again, this pattern repeating) at 11, then has it again in their mid teens (15/16), could this be chronic? At 15/16 how can this be solved if they drink water, have fruit and fluids, are on medication but can't even go? Immune to meds? Is it possible that there is something actually wrong with the person's digestive system or colon? Is it a stress response?
Aside from apple and prune juice, what are other natural remedies? The Lemonade Diet (a lemon juice, grade B maple syrup, cayenne pepper drink) is supposed to stimulate bowel movements. Does it? Is green tea helpful? Other natural remedies or foods that really CLEAR OUT?
Is it also possible to experience severe bloating and stomach distention if one has not gone to the bathroom for three-six days? How can the bloating be reduced?
