Using Mineral or flax seed oil?

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone, thank you so much for the responses to my first post. We

met with our gastroenterologist and are switching to mineral oil for

now. He said that they are equally effective. We may make it flax seed

oil later--what I happen to have on hand is too old though. DS is not

on other medications, so that is not an issue--although I'm trying to

figure out the best time of day to give it to him. Before bed was

recommended, but that's pretty soon after dinner for him.

Are many other people going the oil route?

I'm assuming you are speaking of oral here and not enema, right? Only thing I really know about mineral oil is that you don't want to give it w/any kind of vits/supps and it just washes them right out so would be a waste to give at the same time.
