I blame my 5 year old's chronic constipation on those vaccinations (which I was against - but my wife insisted upon and so did the schools) When another child in her school came down with whooping cough (who had been vaccinated) all those children who not complete their series of shots (mine) were sent home for 14 days. I got her back in school after much discussion with the local government claiming that I stopped the shots because of the constipation which I believed were caused by the their shots. They denied it but let my child back in schools.... mainly because most of he time would have expired by then - right before the spring break.
I have not given her CS because I did not seeing it fitting the parameters. Tried healthy food, avoid sugar - very difficult with children and peer pressure, birthday parties, school parties. enema's are a total fight with her and we've lost that battle. Drinking as much water as we can force her. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink ...... For the last year f(from age 5) We have a lemon tree so every morning we give her a spoonful of fresh lemon juice mixed with honey and organic olive oil (recently using grape seed oil) This has helped soften the stools. Along with occasionally a probiotic and flax seed capsules. The problem probably centers around the stools being large hard and dry and thus the movements are very painful therefore she seeks to avoid the movements. Have tried different homeopathic remedies, acupuncture (only once- that was enough) laser acupuncture (very agreeable). Food, probiotic, water are what we are working on. BTW, local health agency denies any connection to vaccines. I am a licensed acupuncturist and herbalist. These interventions work but my efforts have not gotten to the root of the problem. Again as TCM and most people agree DIET is the key. Kombucha, which I grow professionally, I have held off of because I want her own system to developed first. That is why I waited until she was 5 to give her lemon juice and honey. She'll be 6 in a few days and then I'll also introduce kombucha which I believe will do better. This course of events is over 3 years. I thought we had it beaten several times.... Maybe having her drink CS immediately after eating anything with sugar in it could help. But otherwise I think CS would be the wrong course.

Just ordinary olive oil for mixing salad. My friend solved her constipation with 2 tablespoonful. Drink after meal. For your 5 year old, I think 1 tablespoonful is enough. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
