Re: Re: Constip. & PRO EFA??

May 15, 2002

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem with constipation with my twin boys, that I have to call the

ped. to see if I can get a stool softener. Is anyone else having this

problem, could it be the PRO EFA's??? I give my children 2 capsules a day and

they weigh 46lbs. and 49lbs. at 4 1/2yrs old...

I just started the ProEFA with my son brady 6 days ago. He's 29 months, 40in

tall, and 37lbs. We also give two a day. Yes, I actually wrote about this in

a recent post of mine, Brady has been really constipated the last two/three

days. He'll grunt and cry, I feel so bad for him. He was fine/regular and all

the sudden he couldn't go. It's frustrating because I'll hold off giving him

anything to help (for fear of cramping as it has in the past) and he'll *go*

some and I'll think he's done but a few hours later he's grunting and crying

again. BUT I'm not sure if ProEFA is to blame. Brady has had problems with

occasional constipation such as this, his bowel movements are really

unpredictable. Just thought I'd share although I couldn't answer your

question. I'm going to keep up with the ProEFA for a little while longer

unless he continues to have a problem going to the bathroom. Please post, if

you decide to stop ProEFA, if it helps or not. Thanks
