Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 I'm looking for something that's gentle and does not have any weird side-effects. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Try giving magnesium at bedtime. I use 1 Kirkmans capsule. It dissolves easily and has no taste or smell. You may need something else to kick start it, but use the magnesium nightly afterward. This has solved 's constipation problems, and it also has a nice calming effect. For now, try mineral oil mixed in Sunny Delight. Start with maybe a tsp. If it's " been a while " , I used to use Baby Lax. Its glycerin in a bulb and you do it like a suppository. The hard glycerin suppositories don't work to great, and the BabyLax type is liquid. Good Luck, Wendi OT-Any recs for a good laxative type product for a child with bad constipation? > > I'm looking for something that's gentle and does not have any weird side-effects.
