Hi, My daughter is 14yrs old. She hasn't had a bm in 6 days. She had an exray yesterday, this exray showed that she was full of poop. the nurse said she needs to be cleaned out completly. My daughter will not let me give her a fleet enema. she's in alot of pain. I did give her miralax about 12hours ago,no luck with it.

Hello
She needs something stronger like oral GoLytely or manual disimpaction by a doctor after sigmoidoscopy
She seems to have a fecal impaction--stool stuck in her colon--and it needs to be removed
