And ...Okay, I am going to try the probiotics too!!! And yeah, you can give a toddler prunes - but the thing is, although the prune puree works and the individual wrapped prunes work I hate that it only temporarily fixes the problem and I dont want to have to feed her prunes at every meal. <br />Landry has only had blood in her stool twice, but she poops in pellets EVERY SINGLE TIME. The last time she had a normal BM was when I was breastfeeding - and we all know those mustard BM's aren't really considered normal. LOL There have been several occasions however where all the tiny balls form a big one that is too large to pass and we have had to do enemas or actually push her knees up to her chest while pushing on her belly to help get it out. It's terrible...so probiotics...here we come!!<br />Its funny because I was actually going to ask her pediatrician if I could giver her like a quarter of DanActive with every meal...but again, I hate the idea of having to give her something that becomes so monotonous...we will see!Sara's Satirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09636738746763030618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771747023352979842.post-71302228104347926212011-01-21T08:36:10.136-06:002011-01-21T08:36:10.136-06:00I didn't know if it was okay to give toddlers ...I didn't know if it was okay to give toddlers prunes.

You can get them in powder with the Advocare line, or else I like to go to the health section at our large HEB on 646 to get myself the pills. It has seriously changed my life. I was diagnosed with IBS a couple years ago, but it is all but gone now. All from taking those probiotics. Another good side affect? No diaper rash! Probiotics are recommended for keeping yeast infections away!

Prunes (the individually wrapped ones taste like candy) or apricots?<br />Another trick that works super fast is dark caro in milk. Try one tablespoon to start and adjust as necessary. We put this in Landon's bottle when he was little. Bowel movement with the hour. Not kidding.<br /><br />Stay away from bananas. That's usually what we give to help with loose bm. <br /><br />Good luck!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07431460045998066674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5771747023352979842.post-47330992927750055652011-01-20T13:20:24.156-06:002011-01-20T13:20:24.156-06:00@Sara - Yes, Aiden poops in rock hard pellets some...@Sara - Yes, Aiden poops in rock hard pellets sometimes. That's when he bleeds. But other times he has normal "baby" poo. I hadn't thought of doing smoothies. I might try that. Without milk of course! I've been getting the Tot Apple Juice with less sugar in it then the regular stuff. But I still water it down half and half. Aiden also drinks prune juice, so we haven't had to mess with the prune puree for a couple months. Poor Landry! If I come up with anything new, I'll be sure to let you know!<br /><br />@Alexa - I have never thought about Probiotics. <i>I</i> will DEFINITELY start taking them myself. I will check with the doctor to see what she thinks about Aiden taking them.

The only difference is that my doctor told me not to be overly concerned if she doesn't poop every day, but I should call or bring her in if she goes 3 days with a BM. She also reccommended juice, and dried fruits. <br />I have even gone back to the baby puree's and bought some prunes. Landry doesn't seem to mind the taste so that has really been great. Warning*** only give half the container at lunch and half at dinner. It takes a couple days to do its majic, but it works. She wont touch the prune juice...but the baby food is tolerable.<br />Also, if its a texture thing, you could try to pick fruits that are really high in fiber and make him a smoothie!<br />One more thing, be really careful with juices. they may say 100% juice, or no sugar added, but they are usually full of sugar. We usually water ours down, half juice and half water. But also make sure to pay extra special attention to Aiden's teeth because all the sugar can cause cavities, so brush brush brush!<br />Good Luck, let me know if you find something else that works. Poor Landry and Aiden.

For me it takes a good two weeks to see results from a diet change. Poor Aiden!Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14783483937679134268noreply@blogger.com
