Case Study: After Years of Struggling, One Toddler Finally Found Gut Support
share this article
Constipation that shows up once or twice is usually not a huge source of stress. When it shows up month after month, starting in infancy, it can quietly take over family life.
Meals become tense. Bathroom trips become emotional. Parents find themselves cycling through advice, diets, and remedies, wondering why nothing seems to help their kiddo feel comfortable.
That's where this family found themselves: not looking for a miracle, just hoping for something that would finally make daily life a little easier for their son.
Their Story
"My 3-year-old son has dealt with constipation issues since he was 6 months old."
They had tried just about everything they were told to try.
"Prune juice, limiting dairy, no dairy, no gluten, extra hydration, high fiber diet — nothing helped."
Over time, the issue became more than physical discomfort. It started affecting their kiddo's behavior and confidence.
"My son started to withhold because it was so painful for him to go."
The Challenge
The kiddo's doctor recommended Miralax, but his parents were uneasy about using it long term.
"His Dr. put him on Miralax but I didn't feel comfortable with using it long term like his Dr. suggested. I felt like it was just putting a bandaid on the problem and it still wasn't helping 100%."
They wanted something gentler — something that supported their son without becoming another daily battle.
The Approach
Before finding Growing Up Prebiotics, this family tried several probiotic products, without success. When they introduced Growing Up Prebiotics, they focused on consistency, adding it daily to drinks or food.
Most families see results in about 45 days, but this family noticed results much sooner.
"After a week of using this consistently — HE WAS GOING EVERY DAY!"
Just as important, it wasn't a struggle to give.
"He actually looks forward to adding it into his drinks because of how well it works for him. It dissolves better if you start with a bit of room temp water, then once dissolved mix into juice or milk. My son will even sprinkle it into his yogurt with no complaints about taste or texture."
What His Parents Noticed
How Growing Up Prebiotics Supported This Family
For this parent, the difference wasn't just physical — it was emotional. After months of trial and error, Growing Up Prebiotics felt like something that worked with their kiddo, not against him.
"If your little one is struggling to go and you've exhausted everything like us — I highly recommend giving it a try."
When constipation has been part of a kid's life for years, parents aren't just looking for something that works once — they're looking for something that can fit into daily life without stress. For this family, Growing Up Prebiotics became a gentle, consistent part of their routine, and helped turn a painful, emotional issue into something their son no longer feared.
