Re: Question About Constipation

[Guest guest]

We are very experienced with this one.

I would start off with Benefiber, 3 times a day, about 1/2 tsp.

If that doesn't do the trick, then add Milk of Magnesia at bedtime,

about 4cc.

When all that doesn't work for us, and n is screaming in pain

every day, I resort to an anema once a day.

Good luck!

Salem is the expert on this subject. For Max, we have used

Senekot and some white liquid that begins with a K, I think. But at

the age of 3, I would check with the doctor before you use anything.

I am amazed at how many of our kids have this problem. I guess it

all relates to that gut dysmotility.

You are too funny!

I have never had to use this, but a friend of mine has a daughter

with this problem (non RSS). Her doctor suggested prune juice with

7 up. Tastes like pop. With that said, I know how hard it is to

get more food into our kids. But just a suggestion.

Our son Jonah was terribly constipated until we started Miralax and now no

longer has the problem. He takes it everyday. I hope he will outgrow it so

he does not have to stay on this forever, but for now it has been like a

miracle.
