Ladies my son has severe constipation. His GI doctor has just recomended upping his miralax but that doesn't really work and if he poops up a storm one day and I don't give him
Miralax he gets constipated just from
Missing one day. I always give him prune juice in his milk and juice too and give him higher fiber foods I just hate seeing him struggle so much! Any recommendations? I'm looking into finding a new GI Doctor for him.

My son has the exact same thing we go Monday for an ultrasound to see how much he’s constipated, I took him off miralax because of the reviews I read, we have him on applesauce and a very strict diet along with prune juice, try yogurt with probiotics.. don’t give him anything with cheese and limit his milk intake, give him things that start with P peas peaches prunes it helps with constipation, good luck ❤️

Chia seeds you can put them in his food and drink they even have fruit cups with chia seeds in them. They relieve constipation easily

@jellybeans_mumm, I don't give him any cheese but he does drink a bit of milk been thinking of cutting back though. He doesn't like peas or peaches likes prunes though! Haven't been successful with the yogurt either but can try it again :)

My daughter was the same exact way! Ask his pedi to prescribe lactose! It’s better than the miralax!

@skyy12221, I will definitely try this! I have seen these fruit cups I've been meaning to try. Idk if he can eat them cause he is gluten free but I will see about chia seeds in general :)

I know he's on a strict diet but is he somehow getting wheat hidden somewhere? Maybe at his dads? That'll cause constipation if you have an intolerance or an allergy to it.

@morganmommy79, he could be 🤔 I have no idea what he feeds him. I've expressed time and time again he's to be gluten free and even given him the paper work that saids he has the wheat allergy but who knows he's a idiot 😒

@missjess yes definitely I just buy the natural chia seeds and put them in my apple juice or smoothies and it helps me go. I have a GI condition myself and I've tried stool softeners and they don't work for me but chia seeds help. I buy a big container I love them haha

@missjess, it's super hard to find some hidden gluten. He really needs to educate himself so he's not "poisoning" your son. 😐 see if he'll keep a food diary for you. Even a picture so you can look it up. Tell him the dr said to. Lol

@morganmommy79, actually they did say to keep a food diary. But knowing him he would lie. And he's super uneducated. He's so dumb about things that I'm just like did he really just say that?! Like it's common sense stuff. I mean hell i'm a first time mom I'm learning as I go and I think even parents of multiple children are the same but him he's just like a part time dad so I feel like he thinks he doesn't have to read up on stuff? Or he just doesn't get it? Idk. I try to tell him stuff and I try my best to be informative and helpful and guide him without seeming bossy, but idk guy seems clueless.
