my nephew went though that when he was younger. the dr.s had him slow down on the dairy. it helped a lil. he also had to take some meds to make his poop softer. the meds came from dr. but i would still talk to a dr because it could be something else with his system

I suspect that your grandson's problem may be related to his eating habits. Suggest that he could drink hot water, eat more foods rich in fiber, barley, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, etc.,  and do more exercise. Pay attention to keep warm as well. When you are free, you can rub his stomach and abdomen, in order to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis.

take him to the doctor where the doctor will probably describe a diet with fiber and might even put him on citracel to make the stool softer and smaller.  basically fiber is the key.
