Constipation remedies - Share yours pls

My DD has been having alot of constipation 'issues' lately with the switch over from formula to milk.  My DD has severe GERD and when she strains to much to 'go' she ends up vomiting.  We are scheduled to see a pediatric gastro but our appt isn't for another 4 weeks so I was hoping for some good remedies.   So far we have tried the following at the advice of our pedi:

- Karo syrup & water, FiberCon in bottles,  Up the fruit and veggie intake,  offer water all day long, prunes (both puree and dried fruit)......

 What else can I try to relieve my poor DD of this?!?!

TIA

aww, poor little girl. I havent had this issue, but my friend's son gets constipated a lot and she gives him pear juice. She said it works great. Hope this helps!

we had the same issue. DD finaly pooped on Sunday, and it was the 2 ounces of gerber apple/prune juice that did the trick.  Oh and the Dr. told us only 15-20 ounces of milk- anymore will make the consitpation worse. 

If only the Pedi had told me that before we swtiched to milk!!

When DS gets constipated I gently massage his lower tummy and rock him back and forth with him on his back and stretching his legs over his belly.  It has worked everytime.  Also a little straight apple juice should to the trick.
