is your son getting enough probiotics? they are essential for intestinal health and good bowel movements. also giving him some digestive enzymes with every meal would probably be a great idea. you need to address this from a over-all intestinal track health view, not just a "how do i stimulate a good bowel movement today" view.

i use fresh ground flax seed everyday for fiber. it works great, i think its much better than psyllium, which can cause bloating. i mix the flax in with some kefir and some probiotic caps and some FOS caps. i get my probiotics and FOS very inexpensively from swansonvitamins.com.

perhaps drinking more water would be good for him. dehydration can lead to chronic constipation. also some fresh made juice everyday would be great for the bowels. cabbage juice is very healing for the bowels, add some apple and some ginger. it tastes great and is great for you. make enough for you and him, both of you will benefit from juicing everyday.

taking some magnesium everyday would also be an excellent thing to do. increase the magnesium everyday until the stools are loose then back off a bit.

i think your son would benefit from the alkalizing drink recipe here. i drink it everyday and love it -

hope that helps. God bless you. taking care of special needs children is a very special job, God only selects special people for it, keep taking such good careof your son, and i hope things improve.
