How in the world did your precious 6 yr old get adhesions? I found something that helps me that you might check into for Zac. I order a colon cleanser from the GNC Health Food Store and I ordered golden flax seed to add to my oatmeal in the mornings. I was on laxatives but when I got off oxycontin I was able to stop the laxatives. I hope this helps in some way. Please let me know and I will give you all of the information on the products. You can send me a message on the message board or e-mail.
