two non-medicine ideas Re: Severe Bowel Compaction

[Guest guest]

Exercise (walking) can help, too. Five minutes on a treadmill might be

enough to help. I've been trying to walk on ours more, and my daughter

wants her turn. I stay right with her. And she often has to get off to

go poop. Also, the exercise make us thirsty, so we drink more water,

and the more hydrated we are, the less constipated.

Also, there have been occasions where we've gone to the chiropractor,

and had the doctor ask me when my daughter's last BM was, because her

spine was out in the area that affects the bowels, and before we left

the office, my child would begin passing gas and would poop as soon as

we returned home.
