Re: Vaccine Reactions - the wide range... now constipation and natural calm

Hi Beth,

For the constipation you should try Natural calm by Natural vitality

_www.petergillham.com_ (http://www.petergillham.com) . We got this from our

Chiropractor and love it! You just put a little of the powder in warm water,

mix

well and drink. I find that kids like it better if you put some honey in it.

It

tastes like warm lemonade. It is a highly absorbable form of magnesium.

Great for constipation and sore throats. We get the sweet lemon flavor and we

all take it when we feel like we need it. I have heard that it helps many

sleep better but I didn't notice a difference myself. They make a special kind

for kids and babies also. Just thought you might want to know about this.

Tonya - thanks so much for the link. Both of my boys but more my older son (3

1/2 yrs) have it. Once my oldest got potty trained, it did seem to help but he

still has trouble. I may try this for both of them. Sorry if this is to much

info BUT, my oldest son (when he was in diapers) would strain so hard that he

would ry out and start to sweat. He would literally have wet hari by the end of

the ordeal. Most of the time he never even passed a pebble. Once he got potty

trained, he does better but I still hear him straining and when I go in there he

says it hurt really bad and sometimes I see very little traces of light blood

when I clean him.......I spoke to the doctor about this and they say it is not

uncommon for kids that age to have trouble and that I should not worry.....well,

I do worry about it because of how bad he says it hurts and the little bit of

blood. He does go everyday which is good. Also, I just thought the onstipation

was related

to the formula since I did not breastfeed. However, he has been off of formula

since a year old and although he is a little better, I do not think the formula

had anything to do with it. Also, I have checked for hemmoriods and I do not see

any...I thought that may be causing the blood.

I will try to product mentioned below.....I know they say chlorine can cause a

magnesium deficiency and we do swim alot in the summer and he takes swimming

lessons...

Much Love,

Beth

Beth, also look at if your son is getting enough water and fiber in his

diet. It could be as simple as adding a bowl of oatmeal every morning

to help bulk up his stools to keep water in the colon instead of it

being drawn out and drinking plenty of water to keep him well hydrated.

Your son could have internal hemmoroids which could bleed a little bit

when he has to strain so much, many adults have them as well.

Doris - thanks...he does not drink alot of water....well at least not as much as

he should. He mostly drinks milk but he drnks maybe 2 glasses a day of water.

I do give him oatmeal for breakfast, although not everyday. However, I have

noticed if I give him oatmeal a few days in a row it does seem to help.

Does anyone know if there is a fiber powder (like benefiber for adults) that we

can give to kids???

Hi Beth,

We give our kids psyllium husks and Manitoba Harvest's Hemp protein powder

with fiber in their yogurts or daily smoothies. There are numerous hot

cereals like barley oats, steel cut oats, teff cereal, etc that you can add

fruit with and it will add to the fiber.

Not sure how old he is but you can also make your own porridge with ground

up grain (any grain) and beans (any beans) and then add your fruit. We have

been doing that since your youngest was 6/7 months old.

As for a specific fiber powder, I would check Whole Foods.

I am almost positive when I say that it is the milk that is making him

constipated! This is not only from all the research that I have done

on milk, but also from personal experience with my little girl. Before

I knew the truth about vaccines she got everything on the list and when

she went to whole milk at 1 it backed her right up! I am positive it

is because of a reaction to a vaccine at some point in the schedule, as

well as a milk intolerance. Now she can handle the little amounts that

she gets, in cereal and such. We don't drink much milk since

researching into that. In one of the introductory articles that Sheri

sent when I joined it mentioned a DR presrcibing flax seed to help with

constipation. I believe it was 2 tsp. a day. You can mix the flax

into a lot of things if you get it ground. Really though you should

try eliminating the milk from their diet for two weeks and see if that

makes a difference, again just my 2cents.

Here is a link to an article about milk and constipation (although he

reccomends soy and I have learned that is a no no as well!)

Thanks le, I think some of my toughest things is trying to figure out what

to make that is healthy and also that they can/will eat. My oldest who has the

more severe constipations eats about anything...my youngest is still working

with different textures but normally will eat anything

Beth,

What are his favorite types of foods? Any strong dislikes? After my second

child I read the book Super Baby Food and decided to really change our way

of eating. I have gotten completely away from refined flours and sugars and

cook with only whole grains. I actually plan our day's meals (including

snacks) according to the food pyramid so that I can ensure we are getting

all that we need. I can get a little anal about our diet but when we go on

vacation we feel pretty awful.

Let me think on that. How old are they again?

Marci - thansk for the link. I may try it. I had not heard of Flax seed but

will try it also.

The thing is, he has been constipted from birth and was not on milk based

formula as an infant. Any ideas there???? I just want to help him.

Love,
