aloe juice - what to mix w/ it?

[Guest guest]

Hello -

My son was on miralax for one small container of it - and it had really worked well after a long struggle w/ him w/holding, accidents, etc. you all know the drill :-(

Then I started researching it more and came across this group and stopped giving it to him, substituting fiber ( I forget which, is one of the ones that dissolves clear in liquid) and we have had mixed success - lately it's getting worse, he's had a few episodes of w/holding and accidents and passing a really big stool that hurts, etc etc - so I'm afraid we are going backward in our progress.

We got aloe and mixed it w/ apple juice but he won't drink the stuff. What can I mix it in that will completely hide the taste? anything? might try straight grape juice but thought I'd see if any good ideas here.

may also try to get him on mag. seems a lot of you have success w/ that. another protocol I found said give min. oil and the fiber but not sure how we would ever get the MO in him.

any suggestions? (oh, he just turned 4 by the way).

THANKS!

Pedia sure is good at disguising lots! It is very strong tasting. Our

son is on pureed and this is in his food and we can easly hide

supplements with it, aloe juice is one! Jennie<><

, thats what fiber does, it bulks, you might want to skip that one at the moment. Natural fiber is all one needs UNLESS your stools are so soft with added natural fiber and doesn't seem to be working, then you might want to add a bulk forming fiber, if the stool is big, it's only going to make it bigger...........

Try Kondremul brand of mineral oil. My son would drink the whole bottle if he could get his hands on it.
