My daughter weighs 11.5 kg but her height is normal. That's why I'm asking if there is another cause behind her constipation.

Dr. Maria Karam Pediatrics
What is her age? Did her growth stop at a certain age? So basically check her thyroid. Possible celiac disorder which is an allergy to wheat. A digital rectal exam has to be done also to see if there is a problem in the tone of her anal muscles that the nerves there don't give the order for stools to come out. What is your pediatrician saying? And her minimal weight gain may not be related but of course investigate especially if she is dropping percentiles on her growth curves.
