[tri-med] Re: constipation

My son Carson has had a lot of constipation problems, and we have tried 
everything fron suppositories, to digital stimulation, to kyro syrup., and 
nothing work for us. We finally got a dr. to perscribe him some Miralax, wich 
is a laxative, but it does not give you stomach cramps, because it simply pulls 
extra water into the bowels to help them to work better. My only recomendation 
if you do use this is to give plenty of water throughout the day , cause it 
seems to work faster and better! We were on this for about 6 months as needed, 
and now his bowels are trained and we have had no other problems! Good luck
