Guest guest Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 When I read back through my post this morning, it sounded as if my only problem about this is dealing with the messy pants. Not so. Although I'd rather not have to handle that part of it just because, I really want my kids to be healthy, not have to rely on something like miralax, and take away their worry that something will happen at school or with their friends.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Hi Laura, I was pretty sure you weren't so concerned about the mess, but about what's causing the problem Have your boys ever had a good allergy test, especially food allergies to things like wheat, gluten, dairy, corn, soy and nuts? Sometimes they can cause these types of problems. Rachel herbal remedies [herbal remedies ] On Behalf Of progressive7862 Sunday, July 09, 2006 1:36 AM herbal remedies Herbal Remedies - Kids with bowel problems Been awhile since I've posted. Both my boys have bowel problems- younger boy, 7 yo, is constipated in spite of a healthy diet. Could drink more water, though. He had a brain hemorrhage as an infant and has hydrocephalus which is mostly non-symptomatic. I think his intestinal issues are related to that, though. He will go almost a week without a bowel movement, then have a huge one. He also wears pull ups at night and has some wetting issues during the day. My older son is 9 and has been diagnosed with encopresis, which I am not sure about. He will have several movements during the day, but will also have accidents in his pants. During times of stress it has happened in school, which is very difficult for a 3rd grade child. The dr has recently prescribed miralax, which she said he should be on for many months. These are very troubling problems. I try to be supportive and not get upset, but it seems as though I am handling more " poop issues " than when my kids were infants. Anyone have any help or insights into these issues? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Laura Federal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 She tried to make it, but it is hard to strain it into a liquid, I’ll ask her if it has to be strained for older kids. She buys it from fred meyer. herbal remedies [herbal remedies ] On Behalf Of ejohns9525 Monday, July 10, 2006 8:41 AM herbal remedies Re: Herbal Remedies - Kids with bowel problems In a message dated 7/10/2006 10:16:46 A.M.
