Constipation solution for my kiddo

[Mayzoo]

Kiddo has dealt with constipation for as long as I can remember. Lately, I have added two inulin prebiotic capsules and for the last 10 days her constipation is gone. The inulin is a fiber based prebiotic, and it has at least worked wonders for her constipation.

I tried inulin, but found it caused too much gas/bloating. It certainly was easy to hide in food/drink as it doesn't thicken, but we ended up using psyllium husk instead. Isn't it great when you find something that works? Perhaps inulin may work more efficiently now that DD11 has been taking probiotics for a while. Thanks for posting.

Yeah, it is great to solve as many small issues as possible--almost makes the big issues less daunting. I give kiddo the inulin at the same time as her probiotic. No serious gas issues yet......crosses fingers.

You are welcome. Since it is a fiber, start slow and increase to how much works. As with all fiber supplments, if you start high dose, then you may have too much gas and bloating. The recommended dose for adults is four caps a day. I am giving two caps with her probiotic mid day.

 

At least for me, every little battle we can solve makes the big ones easier to cope with. I think solving this has aided in my kiddos fear of potties too. Either that or the lemon balm is helping with that.....either way, two small issues solved for now !!

Yes, thank you!
