in [Children]

From: Dad on 23 Jul 2008 19:25 A while ago there was a thread about some laxatives for kids; non-habit forming and non-addictive. It is available OTC. I can't find that. I tried Benefiber chew able tablets, they seem to give him a bloated tummy. This is for a 6yr old.

High fiber foods like bran muffins, figs, most other dried fruits. Banty

If the problem is caused by the 6yo not eating fruits and veggies, I'd definitly reccomend the dried fruit. JennP.

A little cardboard box of sultanas (raisins) or mixed dried fruit and nuts eaten each day might be a good start to get things moving. I'd up the water intake as well because sometimes children that age get by on a few mouthfuls of liquid a day, become dehydrated and the moisture gets drawn out of their stools.

There is Senokot, which is easily found at most any drugstore in the US. I don't know where you are. Marie |
