I'm fine now if I take my medicine everyday and watch what I eat.</p> <p>I'm definitely worried about my kids having these issues. When I went to my gastroenterologist last year, I asked about genetics and he said my specific case was probably a birth defect, but there's no real way of knowing. </p> Rubies on "Is your LO constipated?

It was discovered that I was lactose-intolerant when I was in grade 5 but still, even cutting out dairy didn't help me. I hope LO doesn't become like me! </p> chopsuey on "Is your LO constipated?

I used to be constipated during college and beyond, but cured myself of it once I started eating better. </p> mrbee on "Is your LO constipated?

He was severely constipated tonight, until he finally went after I put him down to sleep. I had to go back in there and change him... poor guy.</p> <p>Constipation is also a problem on one side of his parent's family tree. But not on the other, so maybe he will grow out of it? Alas, that's probably not how genetics work huh.</p> <p>Is your LO constipated? Is there a history of constipation in your family? </p>
