Poop

My five year old is "withholding". At least that's the technical term. It's where he won't poo. He just holds it in and holds in for a few days on end because one time a year or so ago he was…Continue

I'm interested in the thoughts the teacher folks on here have about this video.I'm not a teacher, and I don't know the inner workings of different teaching methods, but this guy sums up how I feel…Continue

I'm tempted to jump in here, but I'm guessing this is not the place for a discussion about the flick, or others, and more of a bitch session akin to the comments on Aint It Cool News.

Based on the trailer I'm not expecting much from it. I don't get casting comedic actors in these roles. Although, Ryan Reynolds was really good in "Buried". Green Lantern is a serious character. He looks the part, but the…

I say do it. If they say no, then it's their loss.

Think the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern might go the same route?

Popcorn. Give him a bath tomorrow a couple hours after breakfast. Put on a movie and tell him you'll pause it any time he needs. Use some coconut oil instead of butter, have him just wear underwear since he just got out of…

The Oracle replied to GreenLantern's discussion 'Poop'

Yeah, it's really a combination medical/psychological thing, and not to be messed with (ahem). I would get to the doctor sooner rather than later. Holding it in can impact it and cause further problems like intestinal enlargement and loss of…

Oh. Ok. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm thinking we should take him to a doc to see what they might say on top of the suggestions here.

You could also try stool softeners, but you would want to consult with a doctor or pediatrician before pursuing that course. After 9 months of constant, chronic stomach complaints, we finally met with a doctor who discovered my daughter had…

GL, No, it's not. It's when the brain in your gut is oversensitive to pain and your nerves misfire and cause you distress when other people wouldn't feel anything. It can lead to extreme and constant constipation (and thus pain when…

GreenLantern replied to LeastLikely2Breed's discussion 'This is why we can't have nice things'

I will join your club. I almost lost it big time when our 40 inch LCD was broken because someone threw a toy at it. It was one of the few times I literally had to stop myself from yelling, or screaming, or hitting my kid. I had a stern talking to…

mcglory, I didn't even thing about IBS. I don't think it's that. But isn't that when you have a lot of gas and poo a lot? I don't know. I'll try the dietary stuff you folks have recommended. Thanks!

Flaxseed. Put it in everything. Oatmeal, cookies, smoothies, stirfry. Flaxseed has changed the habits of everyone in our family. Or talk to the doctor.

mcglory13 replied to GreenLantern's discussion 'Poop'

Mineral oil would have been my recommendation. In addition, is it possible he has irritable bowel syndrome or something that does cause continuous poop woes? if so, there are dietary things you can change that can make that better for him.

I guessed that based on the ads alone. Sorry dude.
