Solids causing issues

[appletree]

Please consider alternatives to manage constipation before resorting to medicated treatments which may have a long term impact on bowel function.

Oh yikes, i didn't even think about this! Do you have any research on long term impacts? I have been using it quite a bit for DS and would like to know more.

Can't find a specific reference yet but the concern with frequent / regular use of bowel medications is missing an underlying reason for the constipation, which is a sign, not an actual disease.
