Christina Petropoulos, paediatric consultant at UCLH, presents this talk about constipation and the differences in different age groups in presentation and treatment. She covers possible causes (e.g. cow's milk allergy, weaning), explains why toddlers can sometimes soil with what is known as a "sneaky poo", the role of laxatives in management and whether suppositories can be used.
