Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 My son is finally going everyday with a skip day here and there and he is finally gaining weight(was failure to thrive dx)!! It has taken almost 3 yrs to get to this point, but thank GOD it has happened(not perfect, but not the hell it was and NO miralax)! The latest we have added and seems to be doing something is Activia yogurt(im sure it is the porbiotics). I have been giving him 1 a day(calories/probiotics)! Our routine is of course pushing the " spring " water(avoid tap with the chlorine/destroys the so needed bacteria)! A little aloe every other day, sometimes daily(depends on how the stools are doing). Vitamin C(1 or 2 grams) about 3 times a week! Magnesium was 2-3 times a week now just 1 to 2 times a week(higher dose). Epsom salt baths almost daily. And garlic crushed, goal of at least 1 time a week. I believe a viral gi is one of the biggest issues of motility/constipation and chemicals/toxins also. Garlic is a natural viral killer/bacteria killer/chelator and I swear by this food! And it sure loosens the stools!! He has been antibiotic(destroys the intestinal function) free for a long time now due to garlic! Water, water, water....push them to drink(spring is best)!! Well I just wanted to update. Things are far from perfect, but sooooo much better finally! We just cant give up, it can seem like there is no end but there is light, we are seeing it! Now to just get the courage to start omega's(my son is neuro impaired, I feel more repreased and able to progress). I think due to the mercury issues I might start him on the organic flaxseed instead! Any thoughts on the omega's would be nice to hear!!
