3 year old daughter goes days without pooping. what can i do to help her consgipation? are there any foods or drinks i can give her?

Evaluation/Rx: The natural loseners in apple or prune juice can often loosen a kid some but it takes several days.Avoiding rice cereal, bananas, apple sauce & other foods that firm stools is also helpful. Your doc may need to eval the kid for stool retention issues & may recommend stool wetting agents like MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) used for an extended period.
