Yes, my son started suffering from terrible constipation from around the
time he started on solids. He would strain for hours in order to finally
produce a "marble", and it would take seven to eight days for his food to
pass through the system. He was also put on Lactulose, and then a laxative,
but with little success.

When he was fifteen months I took him to a cranial osteopath, for other
reasons, but I mentioned the constipation. She had a feel around his middle
and said his body was so hunched up that there was simply no space for
anything to pass through the system. After two sessions of osteopathy
(which was so gentle he was only aware of her hands on his tummy and back)
his system started to clear and a week later he was absolutely fine. We
have had no problems since.

Hope that helps.

Amy
