A member asked:

Daughter 11 years old almost every night intestine area cramps xray revealed she is constipated ,barium test negative ,she is on laxative,worried ?

Constipation: Constipation is treatable and so your daughter should be fine. Push water and add fruit such as peaches, pears, and prunes. This does not usually get better overnight and may require months of monitoring. Keep good follow up with the doctor treating her.
