Our dearie Abel has a serious poo problem. These days he will run all over the place, jump or do the yoga pose downward dog when his tummy panks hit him. Of course that goes without him shouting and screaming in pain. It started with his initial refusal of the potty and Mommy thought it was just a lack of discipline since he had always been an angel with poo, asking for potty when he wanted to poo, a seriously clean baby. Though that might play apart, now we are suspecting diet since there's no lumps when Mommy pressed his tummy after he's done finally with getting it out. As usual he's not a fan of water and picky with his fruits. If you don't insist and spend time making sure he takes his water or eat his fruits with deligence, he's gonna have this problem. So now it's a battle who wins. Will he be getting away with not drinking and eating?
Any good advice from anyone who has encountered this issue? It's really driving Mommy up the wall. How frustrating when you come back from work wanting to play and read to the kids but end up 2hours coaxing a toddler to poo to the extent it always end up in war with Mommy screaming her head off and wilding the cane to get the little one sit on his potty. Help!!!!

last time when SY refused to poo for weeks (she was like 4 - 5 mths??), we consulted a PD who saw that she had a bit of fissures at her anus. apprarently, kids will try to hold the poo in if it's painful to poo and it's a vicious cycle coz it creates more hard stool = more painful poo experience. very difficult to "reason" with them
he gave us some xylocaine ointment to apply on her anal fissures and and after you do it, you kind of close both legs to gather so abit of the ointment actually gets in the anal.. and she poos after that. so the trick is get the fissure treated... not sure if abel have fissures but worthwhile to have a look at it...
