Chronically constipated 7 month old breastfed baby

[Guest guest]

I am concerned about my seven month old grandson. He has been

entirely breastfed (just starting to eat a little banana) yet he only

has a bowel movement about once every ten days to two weeks (the

movement has usually been after a visit to the Cranial Osteopath). He

was colicky and seems to be lactose intolerant--my daughter stopped

eating dairy a couple of months ago and he is better-- my daughter

has been extremely careful about what she eats. It has been 12 days

without him going. He has a good deal of gas, and it is very foul

smelling, particularly for a baby.

He does not seem to be in any discomfort, and his pediatrician says

it is not unusual. I am a newcomer to the EPFX. I have tried putting

him on, and putting the head strap on his stomach to test him, but he

is not one to sit or lie still for more than a few moments. I've also

tried testing and treating him in subspace, but without any

discernable result.

Has anyone had any experience with this kind of situation, or have

any suggestions or protocols?

Thank you!
