Michael, 8 months, Tri-18 mosaicism, is on Zantac which causes him all kinds 
of tummy problems, constipation being one.  I took him to my naturopath who 
has me take Borage Oil, and Omega 3 (I am nursing).  I mix up,for Michael, 
1/4 teaspoon of infant acidopholus , one capsule of borage oil, 1/4 teaspoon 
lecithin. This helps return his stomach to the normal "environment" necessary 
to digest properly. 
I also add in colostrum powder for his immune system since he was not able to 
eat for his first 3 weeks so he missed out on it.  I mix it all up, add some 
water and feed it to him via syringe while nursing.  I also will add 
chamomile if he needs it.  If he is having a bad day I will rub castor oil on 
his belly and apply warm compress for a few minutes.
I notice a great difference since giving him his "potion".   He used to 
struggle all day (cramping) and have a very tough time when he would go to 
the bathroom.  Now he is pretty regular and much happier!

Monica
