boyohboyohboy replied: caleb has to eat cracklin oat bran cereal each morning, he loves the stuff, since its crunchy, and it keeps him regular, he has a fissure, so if he strains we have trouble.

Boo&BugsMom replied: Prune juice seems to work much faster than dried prunes. Kyro syrup works too. If all else fails, you can give her a suppository.

kimberley replied: i had major problems as a child. only thing that worked was suppositories hope you find something else that works.

Bee_Kay replied:
Raisin bran works good (actually any high fiber food).

I agree with the suppository (they make them "child size" also).

Poor girl
