Guest guest Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 This may be the wrong place to look for this info, since a veg*n diet is so healthy and high in fiber and good stuff, but I need some sort of supplement for my 5 year old. He had a brain hemorrhage when he was an infant and as a result has some hydrocephalus. It doesnt seem to have affected his intelligence at all, but there may be some physical issues (most minor, like not being able to skip). Since he started on solid food, he has had problems with constipation--he's had a hemorrhoid for quite awhile. No matter what kind of diet I give him, he tends to have LARGE BM's and have the 'roid. I've been giving him " gummi bear " type fiber supplement, which if given consistently, keep his poop softer and lessen or do away with the hemorrhoid, but they have a lot of sugar, and of course, gelatin. I'm hoping someone knows of a veg*n option, otherwise I'll have to keep him on these. I've tried the stuff you mix in drinks, but I can't get it into him, although I've never tried it in a smoothie, just juice. Sorry, I was silent for a long time, now I am peppering you all with questions just about every day. I'll try to contribute more than just questions, but I'm still fairly new at this, and you all know so much!! Thanks a bunch for all the help you've given me!
