Go out and buy Mangosteen juice (I used Lakewood brand). The recommended 1oz. 3 times a day, but drink at least 2oz. at least 4 times a day. Its a little bit expensive, but totally worth it and VERY good for you. This worked for me after a doctor told me that I needed a strong drug to make me go.

My daughter is 4 yrs old. She is suffering from constipation almost all her life. Recently it bcame so bad. Last one month she almost never had a normal bowel movement. I used enemas three times (with doctors advice) to clean her bowel. Again she did not go for last three days. We went to doctor and he prescribed lactulose. We are giving that for last one week but not working. So lets tell u what I m tryng now.
I give her one glass of little warm water in the morning in empty stomach. Then she eats her breakfast . I give her one tablsespoon of olive oil with some pear juice. during launch and dinner evryday I give her broccoli or spinach with rice and chicken/fish. everyday during dinner I give her one tbs of flex seed powder with dinner and after dinner at least one glass of water. Everyday at least once a tbs of brown sugar followed by a glass of water. everyday she eats few pieces of cantalope and apple/ pear. Then I blend some cantaole and feed her that too. I restricted her milk by 16 oz. I give her a tbs of corn syrup with milk. I used to give her 8 oz prune juice everyy morning for few months but recently I stopped it becasue it is not working. Poor girl, drinks at leat 5 glass of water everyday. I don't give almost any junk food to her. Recently I read a procedure "applying few drops of castor oil on naval" during night time. I even tried that. I tried gentle tummy message, positive re-enforcement. Nothing is working. Anyone, please give me some ideas.
(lemon with water is not good for her)
Thanks.
