Avoid Toddler Constipation: draw them a picture

August 22, 2007 | 1 Comment

Jimmy is like most typical boys and loves to play.  He would play all day long if he was allowed to.  As with most boys, even eating is considered a nuisance if it interferes with play time.  So it’s not surprising that something as necessary as going to the bathroom gets in the way as well.  If you have a child with such mannerisms, it may be helpful to paint them a picture of the pain in store for them if they decide to “hold it”.  One such picture is mentioned here on a helpful website called askdrsears (scroll to the very bottom of the screen where it mentions “Toddler holds on to bowel movements”).

GlycoLAX/MiraLAX related to Pregnancy

August 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment

I was recently informed by my doctor that although GlycoLAX (constipation remedy mentioned in an earlier post) does not hinder the process of getting pregnant, you should stop taking it if you become pregnant or think you might be.  The alternative is the generic brand MiraLAX that can now be purchased over-the-counter.
