Brooks, I am very interested!! My daughter 4 1/2 is always constipated. (remember that she is a kidney transplant, and has liver disease) The doctors haven't ever had an answer as to why, but there are many factors. We have tried all the prescription and over the counter remedies..........all to varying degrees of success, but none to any substantial benefit.
This post comes on a day when she is having an exceptionally difficult time. I have MSM powder here, but wanted to inquire about a specific dose to try. Do you have the dosing brought down to an amount per KG (or even lb.) of body weight? Also, I am aware that you are not a doctor, nor do you claim to be one, but are you aware of any contraindications of using MSM with a kidney or liver that are jeopardized?
