gripe water for constipation?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I picked up a bottle of gripe water for P's gas a couple weeks ago and his poops got more regular and softer (they had been quite solid since eating solids) for a few days. I thought maybe he was just having some tummy issues- didn't think too much of it since he seemed to feel ok.  Well, he got constipated the other day and seemed to have a belly ache. I gave him a dose of gripe water and poof- a nice soft poop about an hour later.

Anyone else notice this?  I may throw out the juice and keep the gripe water on hand for poop issues... Confused

    Which kind of gripe water did you get?

    My little one has been having dough like poop for like the last week. It is a lot more solid then before. And he really pushes it out, you can see it on his face! I feel so bad for him.

    Should I stop the bananas and apples, since they kind od casue constipation?

    The brand is Mommys Bliss. 

    P has been on solids since 3.5 mos and has only been constipated maybe 3 times (and by constipated, I mean he went 1-2 days with no poop. That's the worst it's gotten for us. He's typically a poo machine!) He has fruit every morning with his oatmeal for breakfast, so idk about fruit causing it. I thought the oatmeal and rice were typically blamed?
