Hi Bel
Oh no those naughty cream bickies! So glad to hear everything has been well up until then. When we do start solids I think I will be like yourself and start slow, waiting for any reactions, not just to the food but to see the effect on his bowels. I had to try a whole heap of things for Lucas' constipation, it is the only thing that has been a concern for us since bringing him home.

He is on Duphalac now which is a non-stimulant laxitive. It is a sugar that is not absorbed and goes in one end and out the other drawing moisture to the bowel to help him go. DP and I spent hours one morning searching for answers about how to treat infant constipation and what we found was that in treating constipation you need to be consistant with the treatment, not stop once he goes, like we were doing, to have to start all over again.

Anyway, thanks for your advice re: ever presenting to the hospital and it so good to hear all is going really well for you. I finally got onto gastroschsis.uk and I also joined yahoos gastro site. I was having problems getting onto geeps but I must try to remember to share our story as much as possible as when I was pregnant all I wanted was to hear was positive outcomes for these precious babes.

Trish ~ wow 34 weeks! How the time flys! Thanks so much for all your support and advice as always!
