HI Heather

I was sharing some of your info with a friend and discovered that her 7 year old has painful, painful constipation. She is under a doctor's care and was prescribed a stool softener. I told the mom to ask if they could be referred to a gastroenterologist to determine if the child has IBS.

Just wondering, all the supplements you recommend, specifically the peppermint caps, acacia and peppermint and fennel teas, are these OK for young children? Is it OK to use supplements even though the child has not formally been diagnosed with IBS?

Just hate to see this child in pain.

Thanks, Janet
