Q: Severe bowel case : are green stools normal ?

We got test results back from the xray of his bowels and he is .NOT cleaned out yet. I am just so frustrated. I guess he is considered a very severe case and we need to give him "more" medication. I am refusing the stimulant (exlax) that is causing cramping and seemed to make him vomit, so we are to try Milk of Magnesia - 2 tablespoons three times a day (which is a lot for my little man). I spoke with a doctor over the phone and the doctor did say that in situations like nates, green stools for a little bit is normal. Doesn't seem normal to me!! We are going to do a stool study just in case. This whole thing will .NOT be cleared up by the time little Brian/Bryan is born.

This is just so very very frustrating!!!! Thanks guys for all your support.

I'm sorry his case is so severe. Poor little man. Well I hope the milk of magnesia helps him.

Poor little guy! Crying or Very sad

.i'm glad you refused the stimulant. Milk of .magnesia will probably be much gentler on his poor tummy. Wasn't there someone else advertised on tv that was supposed to be gentle, too? My mind's drawing a blank. Confused

Oh, maybe I was thinking of .senosol. I think it comes in pill form... does .nate swallow pills? Confused it says online that it's safe for children, but I don't know if it'll help if he doesn't swallow pills yet.
