old subject/constipation

[Guest guest]

No two meds work the same for all of us, but I'd like to see if I see a trend in

a type that works for constipation due to narcotics. The new higher doses have

made it impossible for Dylan to go naturally. Right now I do energy work and

manual massage on his belly, he takes a stool softener (RX) , I limit the

laxative use to 2 x a week, and he gets an enzyme pill everyday. Do you find

that the fiber stuff helps? Forget trying the diet route. I push water as far as

I can. He's a stubborn kid that WILL NOT eat what he doesn't like. He eats very

little anyway. I'd like to see if there seems to be a trend towards the

laxatives, the fiber, stool softeners or what? I don't want to see the enema's

as the only choice.
