Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My four year old daughter has been having dark brown stool that is dry, somewhat sticky and flaky. The consistency is a lot like dry mud. It sticks to her bottom, so I have to wipe her and as I do, it falls off in dry flakes. She has been also dealing with constipation since about October of 2013. I ve visited doctors multiple times, they gave her an enema (which did nothing at all), and about four x-rays-- but I have yet to receive any answers. I ve given her MiraLax and cut constipating food out of her diet, I ve also increased her water intake. I just don t know what it could be. I am desperate for answers. Thanks!
