Thanks so much for everyones suggetions.
I was so excited to hear about the Fiber gummy bears. I ordered them immediately. Arden loves the gummy viatamins so I know she will take these. I have been looking for a fiber supplement that she would actually take.
I'm trying to wean her from the laxitive so I've been heavily pushing juice and fruit and other fiberous foods.
Her main problem seems to be mental. She "holds it" when she does need to go. This is what started about a year ago. The Doctors said it was normal for potty training age so after a blood and stool test they cleared her of any "problem" other than just being scared to go. I guess it hurts sometimes and that is why she started holding it. This is also why the doctor has kept her on the laxitive, so she would have no choice but to go when she needed to.
It is so sad to watch her holding it when I know she needs to go. I hate having to give the laxitive. I wonder if the mineral oil would work instead. I'm gonna try my herbal remedies for a few days and see what happens.
Blessings to all and Thanks again!!!!!!
