Re: Constipation question (the fun stuff)

- my sons (and I for that matter) are very sensitive to

Apple Juice - straight - not watered down. Prune juice might be a

first choice - but, I'm always lucky with the apple juice. Look out

though if it works!

Keep us posted.

- sorry - I didn't realize the first time that you said

Monday. If it were me - I would try the juice while you call the

doc. In my opinion - and it's only my opinion - 5 days is a long time

for her not to have a BM - even for a non-rss child. I'm sure you

know that already - I think my docs tell me 3 days - 4 if there has

been a little something. But, with RSS children - it's probably a

little different - I never go more than 3 days for Ian only because I

can usually get something by then - but, every child is different.

The other thing with RSS children that I do know - from experience -

is that when RSS kids get " full " they become less and less able to

fill their bellies with food and that equals nutrition - and that

equals - as you know - not a good situation to be in.

Keep us posted. Hope I've helped in some way.

Thanks. Our 'miracle' happend this morning (don't want to give too

much info!) A friend had mentioned something to me and I looked it

up on the web. It said to massage stomach and push gently but firmly

on it about a couple finger widths below the belly button for a few

minutes to stimulate...2 hours later I guess it worked or it was just

good timing!

For some reason, apples seem to work in my family. It seems like it will do

what you need it to do such as help with a bowel movement or its also in the

BRAT (bananas, rice, apples, tea) diet when you have a stomach virus.

Straight OJ (not watered)- a cup or two works for Emerence!
