I FOUND THIS POST IN ONE OF MY GROUPS AND THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE!!!My 5 yr old son has always suffered from constipation, having bowel movements every 2-4 days and it was always very difficult for him to push, as he has to pass hard pellets first. We've tried many things, but what we found most successful is giving apple cider vinegar every day. Ever since the 3rd day on the vinegar, he has been having 1-2 bowel movements every day and no more hard pellets to pass.
We use Bragg's organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar. Two teaspoons vinegar with two teaspoons honey in a cup of water first thing in the morning and then in the afternoon when he gets back from school. With the honey, it doesn't taste too bad, sort of like a vinegar lemonade. I either offer it with a straw or use a syringe when he resists, but it's not too bad. He's gotten used to it. Apple cider vinegar has many other benefits, including making the stomach pH more alkaline, helping with digestion and gut bacteria, relieving chronic fatigue, etc. Now, I make a cup for everyone in the morning, including my soon to be 3 yr old. He loves it and requests his "honey water". I just leave out the vinegar part! :) We have not tried Miralax or Oxypowder. I always wanted to give something natural. Prune juice worked well too, but I only gave it on an as needed basis. One cup and 10-15 minutes, he will go. But with the vinegar every day, he has become much more consistent. Love, Gabby. :0)
