Your child seems to have deep gut dysfunctioning issues, need detailed holistic evaluation to fix root cause.
What scoop are you giving?
If it's some form of laxative you are not truely helping your child in long run bcz symptoms suppressing or relieving medications don't work in long run.
Focus on improving gut health for sustainable healing and health for your child .
