soap to relieve constipation?

[nicm]

has anyone heard of this before and does it work? toodler struggling badly with constipation and my friend had said that she previously used soap when her dd was a baby and it worked instantly. but what soap and how much etc? and bleugh

tia

toilet soap and just a tiny little bit it does work my mum had too use it on my neice when she was completley bunged up and struggling too go

this is compltely Victorian

vaseline is a better idea

Thick as a plank here - but do you stick bits up the bottom?

I wouldnt recommend it tbh if the constipation is that bad then go to docs and see whta they can prescribe.

Jeezo, go to the pharmacy or the doctors.

Soap should not be shoved up arses, no.

thanks all, yes i was a bit about it too but apparently it works well. the docs here is closed on a wed afternoon and the most they ever give out is lactulose sp? which is as useful as a chocolate teapot! i think she must have sensed what i was thinking as it smells like she's gone!

thank you!
