Is it just my son or does somebody elses child suffer from constipation when they drink Capri Sun? And why! I stopped giving him Capri Sun and good-bye constipation!

I haven't had this experience with Capri Sun. But I just had my blood tested for various food allergies because I was suffering weird symptoms after eating/drinking certain things. Constipation is can be one of the symptoms of a food allergy.

What a good mom!  :thumbs up:\n\nYou're absolutely right that you have to start them young.  If your kids grow up in a "healthy" home, they don't know any differently.  This is how I raised my kids.  They love vegetables for example, because that's what they know.\n\nYou can begin feeding your son minced chopped foods and wean from the Gerber Graduates.  I made my own baby food from steamed adult food whirled in a mini-processor.\n\nYou may have gained from extra water weight due to carbs.  Or maybe you've added a little extra fat (butter on bread) or a bit larger portions?\n\nIt's probably not fat, just fluid or undigested food.  If you had been eating less fiber and are now eating more (whole wheat bread), the fiber acts as a "dam" in the colon.  Keep eating high fiber food, maybe take a softener like Milk of Magnesia capsules and see if that helps.

Me and my mother suffer from the same thing. I don't think it leads to colon cancer, but we haven't found anything that removes it. I guess there's some digestive pills and enzymes that help relieve it...i've hear it's dependent on stress.

Please talk to your parents about this, it could be something so simple as dye in something you ingested but read below and click on the website to learn more and then talk to your parents.\n\nBlood in the stool may not always be serious, but it should always be checked by a physician. Any change in bowel habits, such as color, odor, frequency, or consistency (constipation or diarrhea) that does not clear up within a few days is reason to make an appointment with a family practitioner or a gastroenterologst.\nCauses of Red or Black Colored Stools.

OK this is TRUE...  My mother, wanting to get alittle healthier as she ages, decided to take some "wheat grass" for its nutrients.  It comes in a green, rather powdery form that you should mix with some water and drink it down.  Well she didn't mix it with water and instead took a tablespoon and tried swallowing it plain.\n\nShe must of taken a little breath and then began to choke but didnt want to waste this expensive nutrient so she tried to hold it in and get it down.  Well she ended up coughing while still trying to hold the wheat grass in, she shot out puffs of green numerous times.  She looked like a dragon trying to use its power for the first time.  We almost died laughing at this sight!  Wish you could of been there!!  Her new nickname is "Puff the magic dragon" or just "Puff" for short!

*sits up on her lounge chair sipping a cocktail*  My husband handles the meat so it doesn't matter to me which hand he's using.  I prefer he didn't handle it too much, though...over "flipping" tends to toughen the meat and release the juices prematurely.  *shrugs* But what do I know?  I'm more of a 'shuck & suck' kinda gal (ahem, little necks, that is) *puts cocktail down and lays back in her chair*

try adding the 'p' diet into her meals...the 'p' diet is what my doctor told us to use when the 8 month old I am a nanny for was having a hard time. you just add everything that starts with the letter p...peaches, pears, peas, prunes...but stay away from starches. try to add a lot more liquid too. maybe her stool is too hard for her to pass...adding liquid will make it much easier

Don't use a laxative...they will usually give you cramps.  Try Metamucil.  The orange flavor is not so bad and usually works in about 1/2 hour or so.  Take it tomorrow too just to keep things moving.

I'm a vegetarian and I still have indigestion. I used to weigh 230 lbs. Now I weigh 130 lbs. It did not eliminate indigestion. Orange juice tears me up. So does cabbage.

Nuts can be part of the cause to the constipation. so i've heard. Laxatives dont ever work for me either.  I've takin like 4 before at the same time and it still didnt work... try to cut down on something that might be making the constipation happen.

Have you tried drinking 8 8ounce glasses of water a day...sounds stupid but if you drink that amount daily you are sure to get results for constipation....don't drink more than that though, too much water is no good for your kidneys. In the mean time try to eat greens, cold cereals and just try a stool softener, any otc will do or try dulcolax suppositories until you get your diet changed.

Interesting, my poop has never been green.  My babies poop was green untill we started feeding her baby food.  So it might have to do with your diet.

It could be so many things ranging from simple to more complicated.  Only your doctor can diagnose it for sure.  Take heart though, as most of the time it is nothing.  If he is very athletic, he can have this from dehydration regardless of the fact that he drinks a lot.  \n\nPlease let the doctor handle the diagnosis and the care.  He is more qualified than anyone in here.  He has also seen and examined your son.

yes, and it sounds like sun poison..Have had it many times..It comes in different versions. Probably best just to keep him in for a few days and try some aloe vera on the bumps.

I just emailed you! Lol! I have a 7 year old with autism who is on a gluten free/casein free diet. He is EXTREMELY hyperactive. Before I put him on the diet (he was almost 3) he would be even MORE hyper after eating foods with milk, and would have these crazy laughing spells. He already bounces off the walls, but it was obviously more so with the milk products, not to mention the stools he would have after eating them. I was changing like 10 pull ups a day. He would not even touch milk after I took him off of the bottle but he was addicted to cheese, and cereals/crackers with wheat in them.  AFTER I put him on the diet, within a matter of only a couple of weeks, he just stopped peeing on himself. Period, including at night. So to me I related that directly to the diet. I have wanted to give up on the diet sometimes, but you know, every time I let him have some foods which he normally doesn't have, he acts even more hyper than usual, and if you knew my son you would find that hard to believe! Lol! I have considered Feingold as well as vitamin therapy(B6 and Magnesium), but with my financial situation and stress level, any more changes would just be really hard for me to enforce right now. I also had completely takem him off of sugar for a long time, but I have caved and so he has it every now and then. I can't really tell if it affects his behavior or not. I am still looking for a solution that works, I am just kind of burned out by the trial and error of it all!

I was taking Nexium twice a day and started taking LiquiVida (Formerly Juice of Life) and Multi Zyme and they have really helped me.  No more GERD and no more heart burn.... If interested in products contact me at http://www.myspace.com/phxcashmom
