Re: Help! Digestive problems for 2 yo

[Guest guest]

Have you considered using Magnesium. We give our child Magnesium powder

and it really produces some good normal BM's. We mix the powder with a

little bit of warm water and a small amount of juice and squirt it in his

mouth.

The adult dose is 3 tsp a day... we give 1/2 tsp 1 time a day....

The guy at the Health food store says that Magnesium naturally makes the

bowels contract so that they can move properly.

I would get him back to the doctor ASAP! He may be passing the goop around

a big hard blockage...could end up with surgery. IMHO. Please keep us

posted! Hugs, H
