natural constipation remedies

[Guest guest]

Hello:

 

My 10 year old boy has severe constipation. So much he has caused on himself

something called " rectal prolapse " wich means that everytime he goes to the

potty, he pushes so hard, his intestines pop in and out. Sounds really horrible,

but he is not in pain, still is a serious condition and looks really ugly.

I'm trying to find natural remedies for his constipation, so when he goes, he

doesn't have to push so hard. i don't necesarilly want him to go more often,

just make it easier for him to go. Miralax, benefiber and all these kinds of

fibers turns him into the devil's child. Its incredible how much these things

afect his mood.

A friend told me to fix a little bit of aloe vera juice, with papaya juice

several times a day. It doesn't seem to be working. I also tried to give him

prune juice but this just gives him diarrea, even if i do it gradually and in

small doses. Anyone got any more ideas?

 

Thanks,

Fabricia.
