This is the crux of it. I don't have much time to post now (up all night with DD so too sleepy) but we've had recurrent issues with DS & constipation and he's on parachoc daily now. Its not about their diet (believe me we've tried everything)....its the fear factor. One hard poo can set them back and as you said, the cycle begins again. JackRose gave me some great advice so you could maybe PM her too if you wanted more info too.

Good luck, hope it gets better.
Thx heaps hon!
