He's 15 ), docusate sodium twice daily (which works by forcing more water absorption into the stool), and 1000mg or more of mag a day (with instructions to up it if necessary.) And also a 15-strain probiotic that contains bifidum infantum. It works really well for him now. One day when he is older he may have a scope done if the help stops working, but for now he is functional.
I hope you can take some help from some of that.

Thank you - that is very useful!!! I have a hard time with probiotics because a lot of them contain rice powder and that destroys my gut.
