[QUOTE="rlsnights, post: 320199, member: 7948"] Late to the party as usual here. But this is the advice we got from one of the top docs in the country who has a clinic devoted just to treatment of severe, unresponsive constipation. To restore regularity, use Miralax along with the usual dietary measures. If Miralax causes leakage add a product like Benefiber which will hold everything together without making it hard. If this is a recurrent problem then he may need to use Miralax for several months on a daily basis so his colon and rectum can return to normal function after being stretched out by the accumulation of stool. (Sorry too much information I know but us parents of kids with constipation and Crohn's know ALL there is to know about poop and are not shy about proving it. :)) Once regularity has returned, have at least one 8 oz serving of one of the following every day: Apricot Nectar Pear Nectar Prune Juice Apple Juice AND at least one serving (prepared any way you like) of: Pears with the skin on Cherries Apricots Avoid constipation promoting foods like: Dried fruit Applesauce (yes, it's constipating but apple juice isn't. Go figure) Rice Cooked carrots Bananas Hope things already got going and he's a happy camper now. [/QUOTE]
