Frosted Mini Wheats has a NEW flavor!

Chocolate Little Bites
http://www2.kelloggs.com/Product/Pro...?product=15951 (http://www2.kelloggs.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?product=15951)

The ONLY time he has not been constipated is when he was eating Frosted Mini Wheats every day - but he doesn't really like any of the current flavors, and nothing else I have done to his diet seems to help, and I've made a lot of changes to his diet to increase fiber and decrease constipating foods...

Ds and dd ate the ENTIRE BOX in less than 24 hours.

They are begging for more and I have no problem giving it to them because it has less sugar than the other flavors do!

I'll gladly feed my son chocolate every morning if I can get him off Miralax!

Oh, and I was worried because they have a "honey nut" flavor, and my dd has life threatening nut allergies, but there are NO NUTS in the "honey nut"!!! http://www2.kelloggs.com/Product/Pro...?product=15957 (http://www2.kelloggs.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?product=15957)

Hi Lisa!

It's COLD here! Like the cold that seeps deep into your bones and only drinking something hot will warm you up? yeah, that!

We have been staying in a LOT.

I bet it's cold there too?!

How are your kids doing?

gypsy, this may have already been covered, but has he had his thyroid checked out? I had borderline hypothyroidism for years and nothing ever helped the constipation, then when I finally got put on meds for the thyroid the constipation magically went away.

No, there hasn't been any reason to have his thyroid checked. He has no other symptoms or issues at all other than some food allergies/eczema.

YAY! My DS was on Miralax for several months, but it wasn't due to his diet so no dietary changes fixed it. Congrats on getting him off Miralax!

Jacob was on Miralax for quite some time before I weaned him off it. He still has issues at times, but overall, he does pretty well.
