I'm tired of talking to and calling drs. I'm tired of Ty having bowel issues and I know he is too. Every time I change his diaper he has to inspect around me to make sure I have no meds and then he tells me "ok mommy, no squeeze the butt!" (no enema) while I change him. And this morning he's been straining so hard trying to go but nothing is coming out :( I've called GI again. Ugh. I'm so tired and I know Ty is too
**update** so the pooping issue got resolved. We got things moving with another suppository and lots of miralax and magnesium citrate. BUT, now we have another issue. Ty's distention is bad. He goes to bed distended, wakes up distended, is distended all day. As a result his reflux is out of control and he walks around holding his chest. We've been getting 2+oz back from his tummy hours after eating/drinking. This morning his dinner from 7pm last night came up into his feeding extension and all over his bed! 12 hours later, it was still in his tummy! So again talking with GI. When this starts happening, it's a sign his gi system is stopping. And our gi is out this week and Ty is a complicated case and typically no one is allowed to touch him. So my anxiety is through the roof

I know exactly what you are going through. I hated having to give Nathan the miralax, suppositories (little bullets, lol) and everything else I had to do to him. HUGS!!
Little bullets, we've been doing those too and they totally look like that! But I am sucks of all the meds too. Just now I was giving him his mineral oil in his gtube and the med port freaking popped open and mineral oil went EVERYWHERE! UGH! I hate it!!!

My son never had a gtube, but I know what you mean. Nothing seems like it helped, but it will get better. HUGS!!!
