Re: savannah-fiber

, here. Just to clarify -- when I say " fiber " to treat constipation I am

NOT referring to natural fiber in foods. I am referring to therapeutic doses of

added fiber from products. Thanks!

here is that my daughter is

not being a manipulative brat(not my phrasing) and this whole thing

going to be sure to test her for JRA before we talk about IVIG. I

think an ANA study will rule it in/out.

when she was little, she would strain so hard from constipation, she

would sometimes pass out trying. I know that sounds terrible, but it

was always explainable by saying--she must have gotten into some milk

somewhere, and we would start her back on softeners or corn

syrup--which actually works!!I am not aware that she is constipated at

this point--but she is 8, and not overly fond of mom watching her

elimination processes.LOL I have been trying to increase fiber--the GI

docs she saw thought maybe there was some functional problem and to

start her on a super high fiber diet might work--but what they arent

hearing is the part of her refusing food she doesnt like!!I cant force

her to eat!! I have found a milk free whole grain bread she will

eat--and she likes raisin bran--but that is as far as that is going to

go.

I am happy, not that your kids are sick, but that I am not crazy here,

and my daughter is having something, though I dont know what exactly,

that is causing all this. This appears, at this point, to be walking,

and quacking like the duck.......
