I really need advice on this for my daughter. How long is it safe / healthy / normal to be constipated before doing something about it? We're waiting for a delivery of Heather's Acacia product, and until it arrives, we don't know what to do about the constipation. Any advice about how long to wait until taking care of the C with other products? Any suggestions about the products that are the least aggressive but effective?

Has her dr rx'ed anything? I don't know if they are approved for us in minors but osmotic laxatives like Miralax are okay to take with IBS.

Generally, upping her IF intake alot, keeping her moving and making her drink LOTS of water should help safely.

If you get really worried I'd make an apt with her doc so that if she takes a laxative it's under dr supervision.
