quirky poop question

The poop issue always drove me nuts when DS was a baby. He did become constipated --- a lot of stool in the colon, but would still have very loose stools -- whatever would seep thru the cracks so to speak. Other times he'd stop stooling altogether and we'd have to give him a laxative and then his stools would be very well formed, albeit sometimes encased in a film of mucus. Sorry TMI. For the most part his stools were fluffy like frosting unless he became constipated.

A friend of mine's daughter who has the same mutation, but wasn't diagnosed until she was 1 1/2 years old was always constipated -- PI, but had hard stools. She was put on miralax.
