[quote=Anonymous]Try the book "Cure your child with food". There's a chapter on digestive health and constipation. My DS is much younger (2) but I have to rotate a couple of things. 1) a daily probiotic has drastically improved his condition (has to be a good one that's kept in the fridge - we use Udo's Choice). 2) A large cup of prune or pear juice daily 3) Yes, evaluate the diet and be sure it's balanced w/ high fiber foods - though this isn't always the problem/solution 4) I don't like it as a permanent solution but if things start to get clogged (ie: no bowel movement in the usual amount of time) I give a small amount of stool softener that does the trick. I only have to use this about 1x/2-3 weeks at this point...but the key is to not let things get too backed up. They will probably want to first totally clear his colon of all the excess excriment then go from there. I hope things get better for him![/quote]
