Constipation affects up to 70% of children with Down syndrome — and yet it’s often under-treated, misunderstood, or dismissed by healthcare professionals.
In this webinar, June Rogers MBE, a specialist continence nurse with decades of experience, explains exactly why children with Down syndrome are more prone to constipation, how to spot it (including when it doesn’t look like constipation), and how to treat it properly.
She covers laxatives, dietary changes, fluid intake, probiotics, potty positioning, the Bristol Stool Chart, and what to do when your GP isn’t listening. Clear, practical, and everything parents need to advocate confidently for their child. Find further resources and support at downsyndromeuk.co.uk.
