Thanks - I did begin with 1/4 tsp one hour before
food yesterday two or three times. She still needed the pink lemonade
(enema) this morning but the last of her results was a soup. After that,
her fanny bath, and breakfast she feels quite perky. I did find a
couple of e-mails in my huge stack of papers as to Metamucil
which must be brand name. I used a generic without results. I will
buy the Metamucil today. I think it will not
interfere with nutrient absorption as Slippery Elm does? I'm also giving
her two drops of CoQ10 morning and evening thinking it might improve her
bowel muscle tone? Is there something better for that?

Hi Del, I would give the poor wee one about 1/4 tsp. 3x per
day... work up
to 1/2 tsp. Get a baby syringe... works well.
