Ed, sounds like her intestinal flora are out of balance.  That's a research 
project in an of itself...(adding digestive) enzymes, (elimination of too 
much) yeast, (adding) acidophilus.  

However, until that gets right with treatment, try to find Uncle Sam's 
cereal.  It is loaded with flax seed, tastes delicious, and is a natural 
laxative.  My Mom was struggling with constipation after having to take a 
painkiller with that side effect (for arthritis) and she was delighted with 
the results.

Best wishes,
Taylor
