We used about 1/2 a teaspoon of brown sugar in Ollie's formula - just once - and it always did the trick.

I talked to my GP and he said that giving a tiny bit of brown sugar every so often is exactly the same as the lactulose they would prescribe.

I gave Lauren boiled prune juice and it ALWAYS worked. Just boil one or two prunes for a few minutes and let the juice cool off then water it down alot with cooled boiled water.
