About the soluble fiber supplement...       08/31/03 06:49 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA I've never heard that they can't be given to children. I was told to take Metamucil at age 15, and have heard from many parents of younger kids who were told to take the supplements. The daily fiber dose can be lower for children, so thus the supplement dosage lower too, but why on earth wouldn't the supplement be allowed at all? Kids are eating soluble fiber from foods every day, and the supplements are just another version of the same thing. Is this the same doc who said that kids can't get IBS at all? Also - enteric coated peppermint capsules actually have clinical studies with children who have IBS that show they're highly effective. They're completely safe so another option for you...the studies are in the library. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
