Re: Re: gut motility issues

[Guest guest]

No, we have not brought Hannah to a gastro. We really do not have the money (no income cept what we can sell of our belongings) and the nearest gastro is 2 hours away. If I am unable to figure out her problem/solution then I will see about getting her put on Medicade. Thing is we don't vaccinate and MS doesn't offer any vaccine excemption unless you can prove a medical condition that will worsen with vacs. I fear docs!!I gave birth in a birthing center. I did tell them that I didn't want Hannah to have the vaccine and they said that they wouldn't do it. There was only one point that they took her from my room for the pku so I guess that it is possible that they may have slipped it in without me knowing. However I only saw the pku prick. It was the Walmart aloe that I tried. I even put it in her juice, but she wouldn't drink it. So you have had success with the Walmart Aloe Juice then? The reason I ask is cuz of this:"Beware of aloe vera juice that

claims to have no disagreeable taste. Removing this leaves you with a product that is only 10-15 percent aloe vera, at best. NSP aloe vera is processed in a special way to avoid the loss of essential vitamins, minerals and other constituents. The leaf is filleted; then the green outer portion that contains aloin is removed, leaving the gel that remains in the leaf. The gel remains thick when the leaf is first cut, but after a few minutes, an enzymatic reaction causes it to become liquid and freely run out. It is this 100 percent pure liquid that NSP collects."http://www.healthywarehouse.com/digestive-health/colon-cleansing/aloe-vera-whole-leaf.aspBut if you have had success with the cheeper version that taste better, then I may just stick with it.Thanks for your insite!!!Susie ~Jennie wrote: Hi! I am curious if your daughter has been to gastro? Ped isnt as knowledgable on gi issues! We have used aloe vera juice with great success. Occaissionally seems not to work, but usually does! What brand did you use? Some aloe is really strong tasting! We find the wallmart brand is the best so far as far as taste and % whole! I noticed they also carry a flavored with fruit aloe juice now. I didnt buy beings it didnt say how much is aloe! We mix our sons write into his food. He is on pureeds. As mild tasting as the wallmart brand is it can easily be disguised in juice! Besides it being good for constipation, it is loaded with vitamins/minerals etc and

also thought to help deture viruses. A natural anti inflammatory. We use instead of tylenol etc if we have enough on hand. Was your daughter born in a hospital? I am asking because many mothers dont realize that hospitals automatically give newborn vacs befor leaving. As far as knowing about the motility issues, our gastro said it would involve possibly a weeks hospital stay for our son. Many rounds of tests and even then a trip to california to some university!! Our son has been in hospital enough during his life and we hope to avoid that one. So we are using a new med for contractions/stomach dumping. Over all has worked until recently when he became ill. Illness seems to mess things up for him! Causes of our kids constipation?? I have gone over this a million times in my head as Im sure most here have!! From vacs, our drinking water, lack of enzymes in our food, chemicals all around us etc. I just know it was pretty obvious with our son that vacs caused most

of his medical problems. Possibly viral from them or toxins, I think both!! Jennie<><hsmomus <hsmommie> wrote: Jennie,I think you are hitting on a concern of mine. I am treating my dd foryeast (just in case it is her problem) but I am not 100% certain thisis her solution. According to her ped she has been withholding and hasa stretched colon. Well this all started when I started giving hersolids at 4 1/2 mos. It didn't really matter what it was she would notbe able to poop. I can see where she started withholding after thepoop got to elephant size!!! But what cause the constapation to beginwith is my question. I do have concerns that she has motility issues.One thing that is possibly related is that she had reflux quite a bitas an infant even when 100% breast fed. I

read that this can be causedby motility too. Now she still has a very sinsitive gag reflex. Justa note: she has not been vaccinated. So my questions are: Is thereany way that *I* can figure out if it is motility without a doctor?(Money is a HUGE factor) Also I read that Aloe increases motility.Have you or the new poster tried Aloe? If so did it help? I tried toget my daughter to take it in juice when she was younger but shewouldn't. I am willing to try again. Oh btw, my dd's colon is nolonger stretched like the doc seems to insist. We have worked hard atgetting it to shrink and she has long skinny poops, not hugegrapefruit sized ones any longer.And she is not withholding either.She is pushing!! with no results unless given some aid.Susie ~>> This is also the case for my

son. Motility, his seems to be uppermainly also! Not able to pass gas either. He gets several hours ofbelly/back rubs a day. I sometimes worry about those with withholdingthoughts with there children. I think some arent withholding and it ismotility. But not with all, Im sure some kids do hold, but I think ourbody has limits with that! Please let me know what you learn and if aspecialist helps. I am curious, do you find it is worse duringillnesses? Seems viruses with my son just causes his problem to be anightmare. Typically viruses cause loose stools, but not with my son.Its as though his tract just stops or something! I cant figure it outyet! His gastro put him on a med to induce intestinal contractions andstomach dumping. Seem to be working great, no miralax for a couple ofmonths, then he gets a virus and the whole mess starts again even onthe med! What are some things that seem to give you relief, makeworse, etc.

such as> foods, things to make feel better etc. My son is non verbal and anyinfo on motility issues would be very appreciated. My sons nightmarewith this started the very night of a vaccine reaction. Constipationstarted with earlier vacs, specifically the DTaP it seems! Well I hopethe best for you!! Jennie<><> Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
