A TODDLER was left “screaming in pain” after severe constipation crushed his organs.
Doctors estimate that roughly one sixth of tiny Ivan Novak’s 12kg bodyweight was made up of poo.

Opening up about the tot’s condition, mum Elissa, 35, said the constipation caused her son to vomit constantly.
Initially, she had no idea what was causing Ivan so much pain and she revealed she would take him to the hospital up to four times a week.
Elissa eventually discovered constipation was the reason for Ivan’s suffering, with his colon pushing against his lung and stomach.
Speaking to the BBC, she said: “His stomach was squashed. All of his organs were being pushed out of the way.
“We were in A&E for up to 12 hours at a time… just waiting for an enema of all things.
“It was a very horrible time. It was so traumatic for everybody.”
