(TW) Question for parents

It's the troublemakers/trolls who haunt these pages that are going to be "triggered" by this one. OK...

At what age did your habitually-constipated kids stop protesting, begging, running away, and having to be held down fighting and scream/crying through the anally-penetrative treatments?

Or did they never really grow out of it, are they still turning suppository/enema administration into an RS, to this day?

And if so -
have you tried not using it, tried to get by with only the less-efficient/more-risky oral medicines as your chemical crutch -
only to find that you needed to bring the suppositories/enemas back, and use any force necessary, because they really can't "do" without them?

For myself as a parent, we no longer try to "get by with only the...oral medicines" -
but when there is a period of respite from the stressful, warlike, enema/suppository insertions, it's because a new addition or variation in the diet (specifically the "gut friendly foodstuff" program) is actually working.
"Butt" of course the second clause of that last paragraph in the original post comes back into play after a week or thereabouts.
