Today I got my 3 year old to finally poop in the potty. This has been an ongoing issue with her bc she for some reason is afraid of the toilet. I have not been pressuring her to potty train as I think she too suffers from PTSD from hearing all the drama going on in the bathroom back when Rowan had UC. Well today she did it I was so proud but then I noticed... Blood. A very little amount on the poop not in the poop. She is holding her poop. I have to give her all sorts of grape juice and recently added Aloe Vera Juice to the mix. Occasionally a Glycerin Suppository. The poop actually looked old and new some of it was one color light brown and the other side was very dark, almost black. First time I ever saw this with her it actually was like a cow. Weird. Anywho I know the black could be old blood it also can mean it is old hardened stool, which is what I think it was. I also know it could be a fissure.
So Of course my PTSD is in full effect. Trying to not over-react. I added a fish oil pill today. I am working on training her to swallow pills she did well and got the pill swallowed. She wants to be like her sister so much. Regardless of what is going on right now I can't get into a GI for sometime I am sure I will have to see the Ped first.
What test would you ask to be ran with the Ped? I never really had to do all the testing with Rowan bc it was always very obvious by the blood pouring out of her that she was in a huge flare the whole time she had it.
Is there any supplements I can introduce to her pre-doctor visit beyond Vit D3, Aloe Vera Juice, Fish Oil that help with inflammation?
