Thanks so much Jeanie. After a week and half of magnesium hydroxide she is now displaying all of the symptoms we were struggling with before. I went out and bougth some magnesium citrate capsules, and they taste terrible. I dont know how I am going to get this in her. Does natural calm taste better and work as well?

hi again,just another note on the topic...of all of the parents i have talked to who have dealt with the withholding issue, i am finding that these are the toddlers who grow to be older children (and probably adults) who just dont poop every day, maybe every other day. not everyone goes everyday. i guess for now, we want them pooping everyday to help them overcome the psychological aspect of it. i have talked to many parents at tot classes and neighbors and such and have learned that withholding poop is super common in the potty training years and even before then. kelly> > >> > > Greetings.
