Next week I’m writing a nutrition thing that’s sprung from conversations Jennifer and I have had recently, where we’ve been noticing lots of young kids we know taking laxatives as prescribed by their GP. I asked for people's experiences on Instagram and was inundated. So I thought I'd open it up here too. Have you noticed a lot of kids around you who suddenly seem to be on laxatives for constipation or disimpaction? Maybe it's your own kids? Or have you read or come across anyone online talking about more children being on laxatives (we’ve seen a Guardian piece here from February - and I have some thoughts).
