Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Good Morning ,I feel bad for your son and family. I am sending you a link to something we use and it is GREAT. We all use it at time in our house. It is affordable, has no taste, color and is compatible with the diets our kid/families are on. If you can't find it at your local health food, store email at my direct email and I will pick it up for you and ship it to you. It really is great. We no longer have to give our daughter suppositories and many other icky stuff. Have a good day,techmom3@...http://www.iherb.com/productdetails.aspx?c=1 & pid=5103770846710135372 & utm_source=y & utm_medium=c & OVRAW=clear%20organic%20fiber & OVKEY=clear%20organic%20fiber & OVMTC=standard & OVADID=19186630512 & OVKWID=180521987512 My son went from chronic yeasty mush to chronic constipation, to the point he was in the hospital this week for 2 days, getting " cleaned out " . His GI doctor wants him on Miralax daily. At the DAN! Conference in San Diego a few weeks back, doctors firmly agreed that Miralax is NOT a good idea for our ASD kiddos. I gave him Mag-Citrate from Kirkman's. The first time was ok, the 2nd time, he threw it right up, and it was scalding hot. Emphasis on scalding hot. Hotter than really, really warm bath water. It literally burned my husband's hand. Not sure what that was about, but I am concerned about his esophagus, if we try it again. The GI specialist said that if he gets backed up in 3 or so days, he could begin the blockage process again. I need to know what a sure fire way to keep him going. I will be adding fiber, since he is GF/CF, sugar free, yeast free, soy free, and on the Feingold diet as well. Any suggestions on safe products for constipation would be really, really appreciated. Thank You, Sutfin Sacramento Area, Ca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 OK, then I'm thinking about something else that helped me, nut I didn't mention it before, because it is a little radical in the view of some, and I don't know if you will be able to get him to eat it, but you never know. Home cultured/fermented vegetables were a really big help to me in this area. It provides billions of probiotics, and made movements " lubricated " . That's the only word I know of to describe it.I just chopped up some cabbage, put in a >very< little sea salt, and then waited for it to ferment. I started with one spoonful, and worked up from there, eventually having a serving with each meal. I grew to crave it. You might be able to sneak some of the juice into something he likes, to get him on it. I hope you find something to help the little guy...-- Warmest Regards,Robin LittleWe do the baths about 5-6 nights a week. I avoid apples, it feeds his yeasty behaviors. ....epsom salts soak... ....APPLES? ... Warmest Regards, Robin Little Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Drives me nuts that something like a cultured vegetable is considered radical. I think it's radical that we all have to look at so many interventions to heal our kids when really if we would all get back to the way our bodies were designed to function we'd see a major decrease in epidemics such as the one we are all in. Cultured vegetables were huge to help with our live/constipation issues. My favorite simple blend: cabbage beets carrots garlic I make bring and add in A body ecology culture starter. It takes about 7 days to ferment and then can be stored a few months in the fridge. Believe me I used to think cultured foods were radical too. I understand, truly I do. But now I see how radical it is that we aren't eating whole foods. We've totally lost our minds. Regarding getting kids to eat this. Once the body starts to heal and change you want these foods. My little addict loves them now. Moms and Dads have good attitudes about all this and the kids will pick up on it. > > OK, then I'm thinking about something else that helped me, nut I didn't > mention it before, because it is a little radical in the view of some, and I > don't know if you will be able to get him to eat it, but you never know. > Home cultured/fermented vegetables were a really big help to me in this > area.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 There is really no down side to aloe vera. Is is a positve help in reducing inflammation and in the healing of the digestive tract, as well as an aid in combatting constipation.
