Ok, I need some opinions/advice on the fun topic of.....constipation. Ever since we have started our Pfeiffer regimen I am having problems keeping my ds from being constipated. I don't know if it's the probiotics that is doing this, or the diflucan?? Not sure, anyway I'm sticking with what we are doing so need to find a good supplement or solution.
We are on the 5-7 fruit/veg a day kick, so I am getting good fiber into him. He drinks a good amount of water. I am also giving him Inuflora (plant based fiber capsule) 2 times a day, and a capsule of Artichoke Leaves 2X a day.
I guess because we are chelating the copper and other metals, when he doesn't go regularly, first he gets a little edgy--frustrated with things, small bursts of temper. It can go into a full blown anger thing, but we have been managing to not get past edgy. I'd just like something natural that would be effective. I feel like I'm paying way too much attention to his b.m's and I'd like to have something that would let me not focus my (and his) attention on it quite so much!

. That's what can happen if you're not paying attention! Since then I give her 2 prunes every morning. Seems to have worked for her.
