Dear Friends:
    What an interesting idea. Jennifer, I hope you are  keeping notes and 
will publish on this.
    As the mother of two children with hypo-motile  guts, I have also noticed 
an increase in the number of exclusively  breastfed newborns I am seeing who, 
simply put, can't poop. I have worked  with 3 this year so far. I never had 
so many before. 
    These babies are all growing, and have a obviously  painful time passing 
soft feces. 
    I have referred them to a local pediatrician who is  also a classically 
trained homeopath.
    The practitioner treating my daughters feels that  these GI problems are 
related to pollution; if a baby grows inside a mother who  is eating foods 
that are polluted with chemicals and heavy metals, the baby will  suffer.
    Interesting, and scary, notion.
    I am not trained in the care of sick GI tracts; I  use a local colon 
therapist as well as the holistic practitioner for my  daughters.
    warmly,
