Help with Infant Constipation

I have an eight month old boy who has been battling constipation ever since he switched from breast milk to formula, which occurred when he was five months old. We have tried prunes, prune juice, lots of water, tried foods such as plums, apricots, and staying away from banana's and apples and still constipation persists.

Most of the time its the PB texture which it sticky and the smell will almost burn my eyes. The dr suggest last...
