Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic. I'm sorry to learn about your child. Your child happened to have severe constipation which lead to the rubbery stool and the intestines were pushed out when she was straining due to the hard stools. But some conditions have to be ruled out for this severe constipation and later your child will require long term stool loosening agents which have to be given regularity for atleast another six months along with that you have to modify her diet to include fruits, vegetables and plenty of fluids.
Hope this has been helpful to you, kindly feel free to contact again for any queries. Kindly rate the answer if so. Take care.
