Constipation; WasRe: Blood in stool

[Guest guest]

Jenn,

I know you said your daughter cannot tolerate much mag, but have you

considered oxypowder? We're are using it here and my son requires

only small amounts after the initial " blow out " . I was able to give

my son huge amounts of mag citrate and vit C without any change in

the constipation, but now with the oxypowder one every day is really

working. Soon I think we'll be at 1/2 cap per day.
