[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 348275, member: 3444"] He's attempted two this afternoon (only used 1/2 a bottle, which probably is a little shy of how much he should have actually gotten in). He's not holding the liquid in nearly long enough. I'm going to urge him to try again after dinner. When he balks, I remind him that the alternative is to go the hospital and have a nurse do it FOR him. That changed his attitude pronto! :winks: I think part of his problem (besides the whole IBS/Crohn's issue) is that he does not drink enough liquid and does not get enough fiber. I was giving him oatmeal every morning, but I think it was too much -- I need to cut back to 1/2 a serving because it was creating too large of a stool, if that makes sense. He was having pain, and it could be due to the scar tissue he has at the end of his small bowel. What a dance we do here in the Chicken Coop! It's either the psychiatric medication tightrope or the GI tango. I envy families with boring lives and no issues. When I grow up, I'm gonna get me one of those! [/QUOTE]
