I've resorted to hiding veggies in meals and putting pureed fruit in his cereal. He's also not a big drinker - so have to coax him with half water/half juice sweetened with a bit of xylitol to make it taste as sweet as pure juice! This works better than plain water at least.<br />Good luck :)Karen Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248310062978548876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-63992212620437166732012-05-04T08:01:52.583-07:002012-05-04T08:01:52.583-07:00*Update*

Unfortunately, Nick has stopped eating vegetables, lentils and mince.... and he only drinks a cup of watered down juice a day, hence the problem! We have muti (medication!) and cream to apply. Apparently it should be all better in a couple of weeks! <br />I am no longer imagining the worst case scenario!!!! <br />Now I am just going to stress about his terrible diet! :-)Bright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-63673725821279047872012-05-03T07:24:08.266-07:002012-05-03T07:24:08.266-07:00Hi Jazzy, hope that your holiday was a good one! :...Hi Jazzy, hope that your holiday was a good one! :)<br />Good ol' Movicol, it seems to be a worldwide product! Your poor boy, it must have been horrific if you had to take him to the hospital. Is it ok to continue taking Movicol long term? No need to reply... I will ask my Dr when I see him tomorrow!

My boy had chronic constipation 2 Christmasses ago which necessitated a midnight run to the A & E. Talk about feeling like a bad mum! He's been on Movicol ever since. Constipation needs to be dealt with hon. Best of luck! make sure he drinks lots, especially water.<br /><br />xx Jazzyjazzygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04069218745940412457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-23056978300268081152012-05-03T04:46:03.438-07:002012-05-03T04:46:03.438-07:00darling will look forward eagerly to hear from you...darling will look forward eagerly to hear from you on Friday - I really feel strongly that its a blocked gland- Someone I know had to have minor surgery for it - but they told me that since the surgery they finally stopped having haemmoroids ( sorry TMI )Floortime Lite Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988840423227903784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-69391755792097964402012-05-02T10:27:19.817-07:002012-05-02T10:27:19.817-07:00Hi Petra, I know that you know! :) Doctor appoint...Hi Petra, I know that you know! :) Doctor appointment booked for Friday afternoon!!!!Bright Side of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08025195022971411268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-42646253586934168482012-05-02T08:33:27.567-07:002012-05-02T08:33:27.567-07:00Oh, how I know the feeling.

Pamela had the other when she was young. It was a nightmare: we are talking, dripping down the leg bad. When she was six, we put her on a gf/cf diet AND treated her candida aggressively. Her stools normalized and have been that way ever since.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-30717548925568957482012-05-01T02:48:04.041-07:002012-05-01T02:48:04.041-07:00Hello Anonymous! ;)

I feel I have worried enough for more than one if not two (or more) lifetimes. Do yourself a favour, whenever you are worried go to the doctor asap because it will stop the worrying. You need to look after yourself too Di. I had a friend who's kid had such bad constipation that her spine was pushed out of place. It didnt cause long term problems, but once the doctor put the parents at ease and sorted out the constipation they felt much better. I am new to the blog.

They are osmotic laxatives. relatively tasteless, and they will clear him out, which will have to happen. You are aiming for consistency waaaay softer than you might think. <br />Good luck!Valerie Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144896658431548065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5005421880877128774.post-46002092674544676022012-04-30T13:09:47.582-07:002012-04-30T13:09:47.582-07:00I totally get this about their vulnerability, i wo...I totally get this about their vulnerability, i worry about that so much with my special girl.
