Severely onstipated toddler - all hail the health food shop!

Made some posts re my sons situation before (VV constipated and on 2 diff medications to try and ease it).....Just thought I'd let you know the progress we've made recently - big steps forward!

Started giving DS 5ml Aloe Vera Juice once a day in his juice and 5ml Flaxseed oil in his bedtime milk...........has really had an effect and allowed us to lower both his Lactulose and his Sennakot.

So pleased - hope it helps other in similar situation.

My DS 16mths Old also has very chronic constipation (since 2mths old) and is on 35ml lactulose and occasionally 2.5 ml sennakot. I was just gooling for new ideas to help him and seen your post. I already give 1 gel capsule of flaxseed oil, so I'm going to try 2 and will buy Aloe Vera Juice too. Just wondering which products you use?
I was also thinking of trying magesium and enzimes, have you tried these with any luck?

Thanks for your information.
