daytona- do u know what they did exactly?? and how old he was???
I only met them a couple of years ago & he's 7yo now but he has had a problem since birth. I think his mum said he had slow bowel or lazy bowel something like that, usually they keep it under controll on their own but when it gets really bad he is in agony & then will hold onto it cause it hurts too much to push out & they take him to hospital to get it out. I'm not sure what they actually do though cause I didn't feel comfortable asking iykwim.

And it is the iron stuff lulu mentioned, you said you have already tried it, but did you give it a chance to work? I can honestly say it worked straight away with DD (next day) & my mum had told me most of my nephews had been on it at 1 time or another & it worked magic on all of them too.
