Moms Talk: The Straight Poop

• Editor's note: Kyla Keim had a personal emergency and had to skip Moms Talk this week. Here's the Moms Talk column from Montgomery Patch, by Marissa Amoni.

If you are a mom, you might want to buy stock in Schering-Plough HealthCare Products, they're the makers of MiraLAX, an over-the-counter laxative that is hot in the mom world right now.

Many moms divulge sneaking the laxative into their child's food, etc. to relieve constipation.

Let's talk poop.

What are your experiences with a constipated child? What have you tried to get the poop moving? What works: Diet? Laxatives? Rewards?

Do tell!
