Re: Constipation - for Sharon

[Guest guest]

Hi Sharon,

Thanks for posting about the aloe juice and the lovely news on Tara. It

is so good to hear that she is feeling much better and we'll cross

fingers for you that it continues to do its magic!

I'd very much like to try the aloe juice with Norman, as we like you

have been struggling with reflux and poor gut motility. Norman is

now been prescribed Omeprazole at 20mg twice a day for the reflux by Dr

Fell but it is not making any difference. His biopsy results confirmed

eosinophilic eosophagitis and in the past he had eosinophilic colitis!

Anyway, Dr Fell suggests that we try dealing with the reflux to start

with then look at an antiinflamatory after a few months.

I'd really be grateful if you could let me know what the carb/sugars

content in the juice is. This will be helpful to know before I order

some as although Norman is now officially off the ketogenic diet we are

keeping him on foods with a low glycemic index. Also how long did it

take to see a change?

best wishes,

emily xx

Hi ,

Hope Norman is better after his endoscopy,perhaps in time the

Omeprazole will have an effect.

Things are by no means perfect here but it is helping.

Here is what it says on the bottle.

Serving size 8 oz.( On the bottle it says 2 oz daily for her age )

Total fat 0.48g

Saturated fat 0.10 g

Trans fat < 0.10

Cholesterol 0

Sodium 23.7 mg

Total carbohydrate < 0.20g

Dietary fibre < 0.50g

Sugars < 0.24g

Protein <0.24 g.

I have been giving 10-15 mls 3 x day after meals,may try 30 mls 2 x

day.

Hope this helps.

Hi Sharon

I am so thrilled for you and Katy. We too use Aloe Vera but thestuff from Boots and we give it morning and evening with probios. I think has had a better gut since we been with which is about 4 months. This was one thing she introduced. The stuff I get is not SCD leagal but we still use it. The s stuff is probably better cos its distilled and looks clear, does that make sense, not very scientific I know!! How much is the s stuff including tax etc and who do u get it from? Mandi gave me this bottle she is a lovely, int she!!

Luv Caz

PS Do u think teh s stuff is SCD OK?

Hi Caroline,

I think it's just touching the tip of an iceberg,you know how

excited I get if I find something that helps and doesn't have an

awful reaction.She still can't handle probiotics or magnesium,lots

of stuff really.

She has been a bit better over the past couple of months,I've

removed rice and supplements I thought where irritating her,also I

think the homeopathy is helping,although we are getting bloating and

pain after these remedies have been given this week.

There has been a change ,it feels like some of the inflammation has

been reduced in her body and she is now quite specific on where she

hurts, central part of her tummy,throat and chest which comes on

after food /anything really ingested.This gradually gets worse

towards the end of the day.

I'm trying to indroduce gradually more SCD foods,Chicken broth was a

big No from her ,but managed to get 2 tablespoons down her.If you

have any nice ideas for snacks etc I'd wellcome them.

We are still waiting on Dr Balzola's view on her GOSH endoscopy

slides,I don't know how long this takes,it has been 3 months now.

The postage for the 's is very expensive 1/2 gallon cost

about 20 pounds,about 5 for the Aloe and 15 for the postage.

I got it from iherb.com.

I'm not sure if it's SCD legal,have a vague memory Aloe is'nt

allowed but could be wrong.

I'm so happy 's tummy is improving.Have you started the

presciption anti inflammatories and if so how do you find them.

We are still feeling up beat we'll get there in the end,just need

her gut properly looked at and treated then we can move onto all the

other stuff.

Take care ,

Love Sharon.
