Constipation?

My son will be 7 months old tomorrow. He is not able to poop. He has been pooping little hard balls for the past week. Not a real good bowel movement, just little balls. What should I do to help him pass? I have just read to not give him rice cereal, applesauce, or bananas for a few days. So I am going to give him carrots, prunes, pears, and sweet potatoes. He is formula fed, for the past 2 months. He won’t drink water from a sippy or bottle. Will these foods work? Is constipation dangerous in babies? When should I worry?
I called the doc and we used a babylax. He went in about 10 seconds after we gave it to him! I know he feels better now. Thanks for your advice. I hope to avoid this in the future by watering down his rice cereal and give plenty of the P foods.

I’m having my wisdom teeth removed on what will be 9th day of the cleanse. I figured it would be great timing because I will be restricted to an all-liquid diet for a few days anyway, but I wanted to make sure that the cleanse wouldn’t interfere with the anesthesia and vice versa. Thanks!
Let me clarify: I have ALREADY decided to do the cleanse, I’m looking for input about the timing ONLY.

How long is water good for after you filter it?

I just recently bought a Brita water filter. It says to discard any unused water after a few days. If I pour it into jugs and cap them, will the water be good to drink after a few weeks or is it only referring to the water in the pitcher?

I have never been one of those people that had a bowel movement everyday…but for the last few days I have had a bowel movement at least once a day..yesterday twice..(sorry tmi)..I was wondering anyone else had this same situation?? Did you go into labor soon after??? Do you all think this is like cleansing my body for getting ready to go into labor?? Thanks in advance for answering…Im so excited to have my baby boy…

Is tap water just as hydrating as filtered water?

My filter on my refrigerator is broken and I have to drink tap water for a few days. I have to drink 8+ glasses of water a day because of my heart problems. Will tap water make me hydrated just as much as filtered water does?

Does anyone know any good detox diet plans?

I’ve been in Europe for about 3 weeks and I’ve eaten extremely unhealthy so I just want to get my body back on track when i get home in a few days. Does anyone know any simple, short detox diets? Does anyone know any good plans or links that have good detox plans? I really don’t know much about detoxing and I barely know how to get myself started

They ate grapes and pears a few days ago, and ever since then they’ve both had the most foul smelling yellow diarrhea. They both had a fever the morning after they ate the pears, but it went away quickly and otherwise they act normal (not sick).

My mother in law says they just got cold, but I’m afraid it might be a bacteria or parasite. Anyone have any similiar experience?

How can alcohol withdrawal symptoms be eased?

I am reducing my alcohol intake gradually because I can’t take of from work for detox. For the past few days I have had minor shakes of the hands. But I have also felt like I have a fever. I feel very hot and sweat quite a bit. Also, I can only sleep about 3 hours per night. Can anyone tell me how to ease these symptoms?

Hi, My stomach has been hard for the past few days. Could it be because I have IBS? I know that I’m not pregnant because I am a guy. If it’s not ibs, what could it be? Also, I’m not constipated because I just went to the bathroom about an hour ago. Please help !
Hi, also it’s not gastric distension because I haven’t had any air blown into my mouth. Thanks anyway.

How do I cleanse my hair daily?

I wear a conditioning mousse every day and always finish with a fine mist of Elnett hairspray. However, afetr a few days, I get a bit of product build up and may hair gets a bit stifff and dull. The only way I can bring it back to life is to wash everything out. But – I don’t like to wash my hair every day because I don’t want to dry it out.

How can I cleanse my hair / get most of the products out every night?

Would it be good idea to damp my hair every night and comb through?

Has anyone got any other recommendations?

Trying to cut out sugars, processed stuff, wheat, etc. for a few days because i’ve been feeling gross and achy. Realize it would be helpful to cut back on smoking cigarettes and shisha but don’t really feel like it. How much less intense would my detox be if I didn’t? Also, what about marijuana? – would that have a negative effect on the diet as well or does it not really matter?

I am exclusively pumping. When I give my baby just straight breastmilk he gets green diarrhea and a terrible diaper rash and is really fussy after eating. I switched to formula for a few days to see if it would make a difference. When I give him formula (Enfamil Gentlease) his stool returns to a mustard color and his rash clears up. What could be the problem?

I’m comming off my period and have eaten everything bad in sight the past two weeks. I want to lose maybe 5 pounds and get rid of sugar cravings and become more "regular". I’ve heard of the master cleanse, but I’m thinking fruit and vegetable juice makes better sense than water with sugary syrup. I was going to attemot a sort of vegetable/fruit juice fast for a few days instead and have a glass of juice for ever meal. Is this a good idea or bad idea? Any personal oppinions or experience?
