Update / new solution found

[Guest guest]

I saw a request for updates a while back. I finally have some free

time, so here's what I've been wanting to share with you.

Background:

My daughter was severely constipated ever since she started solids

as a baby (around 5 months old or so). She was on Miralax from age

18 months until 4 ½ years old. She did not appear to have any

negative reactions to Miralax. I really feel that putting her on

Miralax was the right thing to do for us – my gut felt really,

really good about it. I still feel really good that we started her

on it. Her biological makeup must protect her from the negative

reactions that some people have.

Around the spring of 2005, when she was 4, my gut started telling me

to really try to get her off Miralax. We tried supplements and food

elimination diets, and eventually found out this past sping that she

needs more thiamin (vitamin B-1) than most. When we gave her more

thiamin, she able to stay off Miralax and eat starches again (which

we had eliminated because without it she wasn't constipated and

could be off Miralax. We later found that eating starch increases

your body's need for thiamin, so it was exacerbating the problem).

Everything was great for a while after we started supplementing for

additional thiamin. Then, this summer, about 3 months after we

started the additional supplementation, all of a sudden we started

having problems again. For some reason, she needed more and more

thiamin to get rid of thiamin deficiency symptoms. She went from

needing 5 mg thiamin to 25+ mg. When her thiamin intake level

exceeded her doctor's recommended max of 25mg, I pulled her off the

extra thiamin and put her back on Miralax.

Around this time, I heard of a energy healer in my area with an

exceptional reputation. I got his book from Amazon.com (Born a

Healer by Chunyi Lin) and was very impressed. I took my daughter to

an energy healing session with him, and her constipation was gone

after 1 treatment! The first session was 3 months ago, and she's

been really great since. I still give her extra thiamin occasionally

when she starts to get some symptoms, but she only seems to need

about 5 mg or so.

Master Lin has had some very impressive results and has clients from

distant states come to see him. I met one woman who flies in from NY

to see him in Minnesota because she has such great results with her

baby with him. The success rate varies from person to person and

condition to condition. My daughter's constipation cleared up right

away, but some other issues she has are taking longer and are not

nearly as responsive.

So, right now we are doing really well, and I have the best wishes

for all of you too. It's been wonderful to have this group and have

the support of others who understand how tough chronic constipation

is for our kids (and for the ones who love them and would do

anything to help them).
