benefiber also works for that and is similar to miralax...regular apples cut up in pieces small enough so the kiddos don't choke also help them to be regular...DD has an "issue" w/going and she is almost 7 so we actually tell her to go every TWO days or else we give her an enema...they sell pediatric enemas and it sucks to have to give them to the kiddos to make them go but sometimes you have too...HTH.
Mommies (& Daddies) I need help., PLEASE!

Green tea....when DD was 6 weeks old they thought that she had a bowel blockage. They wanted to operate, we got a 2nd opinion they said no to surgery. She suffered for the first 3 years of her life with horrible constipation. You couldn't get it out of her with a stick of dynamite. They tried EVERYTHING to no avail...then after being constipated for too long, her body didn't want to expel it because obviously it was large and painful.
Anyway, her baby sitter at the time was Portugese (sp?) and hated seeing her suffer and have to take all these horrible medicines that didn't work. She started giving her a watered down (50/50) Chinese green tea. Worked like a charm. Within a month she was right as rain, we kept her on it once a week for six months (after discussing with the pediatrician) and she never had another issue.

For constipation i would do cheerios and apple juice. i know my mil would recommend mineral oil
Thanks for all the advice ladies <3 :flowers: -I pretty much have been following the BRAT and giving gatorade and pedialyte. She has a couple spoons of jello here and there, and she asks for food (but cant always give it cuz it may cause more loose poops) so I take that as a good sign. I *think* dinner didnt agree with her the other night and its just lingering. (none of the other kids are sick, thank goodness) I just tried the mylanta and sprinkled some cornstarch on her dupa (a&d did keep it from getting blisters all this time- LOVE that stuff!)- I hope that helps the redness. I will definately call the doc tomorrow. Sometimes I'm just at a loss of what to do since some things that worked for the older 2 dont work for her. Thanks again ladies!! Youre the greatest!!
