"The runs"

[biz]

Aidan had been having the runs for two days now. for the past four days it started with the mushy stuff and i thought it was because he had a runny nose and it was because of the snot he was swallowing. so i called his cf docs and they told me to first ditch his enzymes cause they expire in a month and start the new batch. ok did that. then start giving him miralax once a day ok been doing that for two days. then she also said to give him an enema cause she thinks he may be constipated and the loose stuff in leaking out thru the blocked stuff. i said no to that. and im still not convinced he is constipated since he has the runs now. but nothing has changed. he isnt eating anything different. he doesnt drink juice just gatorade. he cant go up on his enzymes caust hes at the max now. maybe he needs a hight dosage of his prevacid?

so im hoping anyone has any suggestions with this? should i give him the enema? has anyone had experience similar to this and had to do an enema and it worked?

"The runs

How are his stools before this started to happen. If they were just soft and not runny why would he be blocked with leaking around the block. You would have leaking if he was doing a clean out on his colon. How does the doctor know he is blocked without checking him like an xray would be good. Is he running a fever? Sounds like he might of got a stomach bug. The prevacid won't help with that because it helps the reflux...wrong end. Also with prevacid I would not go up without checking with his doctor. THis is weight and age based. My DD gets blocked but let me tell you when it happens NOTHING comes out period. Can you take him to his Ped?

"The runs

Well then this is my take. Since he is only 2 and if you gave him an enema he can really get the runs which will in turn cause him to get dehydrated and inturn throw off his elctrolytes. That will just make for more problems. I would really talk to his Ped first. And since the runny nose seem to come first I would really go with a bug first.
