Hi Doctor, My daughter ,9 months old, has constipation since she was 4 months old and when the motion passes it is green and she feel much pain just before it passes. Some times it pass with blood and pus cells. Doctor did x-ray for her bowel but he said she is OK. He found that ALP is around 650 in the blood. I have the report from Doctor. What is the possible problem? Where can I get proper treatment for her? Thanks
ALP level 650 IU is very significant elevations and suggestive of liver or bone disease. Ask your doctor for detailed liver function tests (LFT) as early as possible. Causes of blood in stool are infection, constipation, anal fissure etc. In your case the cause appear to be chronic constipation. Add fruit juices to babies diet. Try changing formula to other easily digestible one. If not relived you may ask your doctor for medicine like lactulose syrup for constipation and investigations like USG abdomenHere you need to be concerned about ALP level 650 IU.
