files section

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

We are complete newbies to the world of constipation. Our son just turned two,

but it appears this is an issue that some families have been dealing with for

many many years.

I tried looking at the files and links sections, but to honest, I was a bit

overwhelmed by what I found. I guess if a parent has been going to a GI doctor

for several years already, many of the ideas on this board might seem really

basic. For parents like us, though, we are basically being exposed to the very

scary thought that we may not be able to rely on our own GI's advice entirely,

as there are potential side effects to things like Miralax.

I was wondering if anyone had thought of trying to really consolidate some of

the information that has been emailed around here into some sort of formal wiki.

For new parents like us, it's a bit hard knowing how or where to get started in

terms of educating ourselves and getting comfortable with the various approaches

we're reading about.

I think particularly for new parents, it would be very helpful to have

information in a more consolidated format with links to supporting articles or

research for parents who want to educate themselves further.

I would be willing to participate in such an endeavor, if some of the

knowledgeable parents here could contribute their knowledge. Jeanie, I see you

have set up some polls and links and stuff, what do you think of this idea?
