Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Zach really never had constipation but his stool was always yellow and mushy. I read somewhere that the bowels can become full of this mush and it becomes hard to move it along. He would always have one huge bowel movement every morning between 5 and 6am. He would never sleep through the night even at 18 months old. He just was always rolling around in his crib and could never get settled. Since I couldn't convince a doctor to prescribe a laxative, I started adding Metamucil to his juice drink each day. Now I use Benefiber because it does not have any taste. Zach now has two small brown formed bowel movements a day. This might be something to try. I am not sure about using it for a bowel obstruction, but for constipation it might help.
