I have a 5 year old granddaughter who has a bowel problem. She is unable to completely evacuate her bowls and it ends up stuck between the cheeks that we have to take multiple wipes to clean her up and 30 minutes later it may happen again. My daughter says she has had constipation probelms for a long time. Now my granddaughter does not want to tell anyone when she goes and she developes severe irritation of course because she has poop in her crack for hours. Could it be her diet. You know children don t want to eat a well balanced diet.
