Help please

What can I do? My almost 2 year old keeps saying butt hurts. I looked at her butt and its red and the vessels down on her anus are swollen. I just realized that she hasn't had a bowel movement since 12/23. In which she had 4 bowel movements but they were diarrhea like. What can I give her to help her have a bowel movement. She already drinks a lot of water.

PRUNES.

Apple or prune juice, fruit, fiber-enriched foods.

Prunes or prune juice

She eats tons of fruit. Right now that's about all I can get her to eat along with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. But I will be going first thing in the am to go and get some prunes and juice. Hopefully it helps. Poor baby  

Fletchers brand makes a laxative for kids 2 and up if you wanna go that route it taste like rootbeer so they take it no problem, if not dried fruits, prunes or apricots are great. Dont use apple juice my doctor told me it stopped them up i dont know why

warm baking soda bath

Prune juice would do the trick. My niece has severe constipation since she was little and now she is almost 3 and sometimes she bleeds from it. Prune juice work like a charm.

Prune juice.
There's also enemas for toddlers two and up. But I wouldn't try or the laxatives until you've tried prune juice or even Apple juice.

Id rather not do a laxative like that. :/ I work in a pharmacy and all 4 of the pharmacists don't recommend it. I will have to go buy some fruit in the am   thank you though  

Karo syrup mixed in with milk.
Apple juice and water mixed.
Prunes always made my son's constipation problem worse.

Really? How does that work? I'll have to do that right now.

OMG have you drank apple juice lately? I got some when my Lo was having issues it did nothing for him, but he didn't hardly drink any of it. But I drank some and omg.....NEVER AGAIN!

Cherries.
Most ppl.don't know this, but cherries help eleviate (sp?) Constipation and an added bonus they.stimulate the immune system.

Its actually said that if you eat at least.10 cherries a day you wont have poop issues at all.and are less likely to get sick.

My youngest will be 3 and we still alternate karp syrup and miralax (use w/ doctor's ok).

Otherwise...
apple juice/prune juice (you can mix if need be)
prunes in general
'older apples'- the more ripe they are, the better they seem to work

warm baths
