Guest guest Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 We solved the constipation b=problem by chaning bread. My DH makaes bread with different ground up beans and spelt and millet for fiber, w/w flour and just enough white flour so the mess will rise. That is the only bread that Elie eats except for his nite. We make it into buns and sliced bread. IF that is not an option, may I suggest talking to your doc about a bowel aid. IT is to difficult to toilet train someone who has hard stools. OR too soft ones either for that matter!! Elie used his rubber ducky for a while to hold his penis down. > Wow, you guys have hit on some problems that my has. I > talked to his doctor today about the spitting thing.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 My son Connor had constipation issues, was on a daily dose of Miralax... fun. However, no more issues since we went dairy free, he is " regular " again. Amy Mom to Connor 3 yrs DS-ASD and Brenna 1 yr. Constipation We solved the constipation b=problem by chaning bread. My DH makaes bread with different ground up beans and spelt and millet for fiber, w/w flour and just enough white flour so the mess will rise.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Magnesium Citrate will help, Hailey takes Natural Calm powder for anxiety or overload. But, in high doses it will make anyone go. ________________________________ To: Sent: Mon, October 18, 2010 1:04:24 PM Subject: Constipation What do some of you moms do for constipation? Haylee had an xray done of her belly this morning and there is poop all over the place and a golf size poop near her rectum. Weve been doing Miralax as needed , I guess I wasnt doing it enough. Also, doc prescribed magnesium....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I forgot to mention the lactulose is only 2 tablespoons a day so it's the easiest one we tried and like I said he doesn't notice it. The miralax he noticed and wouldn't drink. Constipation > > What do some of you moms do for constipation?
