My child has a bowel movement once a week stimulated by Senacot. What are the long-term effects of infrequent bowel movements?
A bowel movement once a week is not nearly sufficient. Your child’s bowels should (must) work once a day and softly – with or without help. You are not giving him/her enough Senocot. The long-term effect of infrequent bowel movements is a dilated, stretched, atonic colon and rectum from the huge amount of hard impacted stool. This stretches the bowel to a point of no return, non-function and an inability to expel the stool therein.
