[tri-med] Re: constipation

Jude,

Is smooth move the actual name of the herbal tea?  I have never heard of
that.  I know that water is an issue for us.  Sierra takes everything by
mouth and she refuses to drink water.  I have even tried sugar water,
dissolving peppermints, jolly ranchers, you name it and she still wont drink
it.  When she has been sick I have gently forced her to take water by
putting it in a med syringe and slowly squirting it in her mouth.  She will
take it that way, but I hate having to do that.  Any good suggestions on
that?  I did receive the poop goop recipe and am planning on trying it.  The
ped doc started us on the mirilax recently.
Thanks for the info. and suggestions,
Nicole mom to Alyssa 4 (going on 21, keeping me busy, and keeping my hair
from getting to long because I'm pulling it out), Sierra 2 1/2 (partial
trisomy 18 q, my brightest ray of sunshine on a gloomy day), Kobey 1 (true
mama's boy through and through, climbing, pinching, and loving), and Joe my
wonderful husband of 8 yrs. (without his support I would be in the funny
farm by now!)
