Q: Prune Mayhem!!!!

Wow...so on Sunday, Oni was constipated.

She LOVES prunes, so I decided (on Mon) to give her some.

She had a couple after breakfast, after lunch, and before bed. Probably 8/9 in total.

Well yesterday, she woke up from her nap and had a HUUUGE poopy diaper that was basically all prunes. She was running around like normal and screeching because I was chasing her.

So, I made our lunch and brough it to the living room.

I put her in her chair and after maybe ONE bite of her food she started grabbing her stomach and SCREAMING bloody hell!!
I took her out of her chair and let her sit next to me to eat. That didn't last. She wound up on the FLOOR, grabbing her belly, SCREAMING!

I didn't want to call Baron cuz I didn't want HIM to panic.(he's GREAT at that! lol)

About 5 mins went by, and she was PERFECT. When all of a sudden she grabbed her stomach AGAIN and started screaming!! So I called Baron.

He came home and was FREAKING out at how she was acting. It just wasn't normal.

Now, I had ALL kinds of things storming through my head as to what could be wrong. All from the prunes literally RIPPING her gut open. To her swallowing a nickel (which is ODD because she ALWAYS gives me money that she comes across...but she IS a baby...)

Now, a good 5 hours has gone by and she's been sporatically grabbing her tummy and screaming/crying (but acting TOTALLY normal in between). So I KNEW it was going to be a looooong night.

Before we went to bed I told Baron that she was acting like she had cramps. Poop cramps. I assume the prunes stimulated her gut to quickly (something like harsh suppositories would cause), and made her intestines spasm and cause her pain.

She's totally fine today. So I really think the prunes were the problem.

Anyone think I'm crazy? Or do you think I could be right about the prunes. It was the ONLY thing different!

Wow, That sounds crazy. I would have to think that it would be the prunes that would cause her that much pain just like if an adult takes a laxative. Im sorry she had to go through that much pain. I bet it was hurting you watching her just as much as it was hurting her. Poor Oni.

I was going to send you a message because I don't see you on here to much anymore, but I just met someone yesterday and her name was Oni. I have never met someone with that name and it totally fit this lady. She was very smart and sofisticated and had a good head on her sholders. Now I know two people named Oni.

Prunes. Smile I'm glad they worked on the poo. My daughter had poo issues and it was difficult for about 2 years. Sad Thankfully she outgrew that.

Maybe fewer prunes next time would help without causing the cramps.

I hope you find what works for you guys!
