<s>[INST] My four-year-old has been in terrible discomfort on the toilet for the last 36 hours. He says he needs to poop, but nothing comes out. Sometimes a little liquid poop drips into the toilet, but he hasn t been able to do a proper poop for nearly two days. Normally, he has somewhat loose stools. He hasn t been long-term constipated, but is this serious? How can we get the poop out? He won t even let us look at his bottom, let alone wipe off the stains from the liquid poop, so you can imagine a suppository or any intervention that involves touching his bottom is not going to be tolerated. He s very traumatized as it is. I also know that this was probably caused by a poor diet lately. He used to eat a lot of fruit and fiber, but lately he is refusing to eat almost anything and we have succumbed to giving him highly processed foods (the stuff he WILL eat) so that he doesn t go hungry. I realize that the way forward is to rectify his diet (which we are already onto), but how can we dislodge the current blockage, if that is what it is? Please help. [/INST] Hi...
