Guest guest Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 We do the baths about 5-6 nights a week. I avoid apples, it feeds his yeasty behaviors. I am reading a TON of horrible reactions to Miralax, and I need something that can give Miralax results without the side effects. Soooo frustrating! Subject: Re:Need HELP with son's constipation...To: mb12 valtrex Date: Sunday, November 23, 2008, 3:39 PM , I have trouble absorbing Magnesium orally too. I get my magnesium through the skin. I take an epsom salts soak every day, and usually it keeps me regular, and the baths are so soothing and detoxing. My husband will urge me to 'get my soak'. I use about 4 cups in the tub, but I'm big and I fill it all the way up. If he can't handle the tub, just a foot soak, or even wet compresses will get some magnesium into him. Just make it extra strong for the compresses. I also melt the slats in a little water and stir them into oil and apply this to my skin.Will/can he eAT APPLES? An apple with a glass of water always seemed to 'move' me. Maybe its the pectin. So Maybe make some raw apple sauce, with organic, unpeeled apples.-- Warmest Regards,Robin LittleI 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.

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Thank you SO much ! Subject: Re:Need HELP with son's constipation...To: mb12 valtrex Date: Sunday, November 23, 2008, 8:23 PMWe just had my three year old in the hospital last week for this too. Terrible impactions and stools way too big to pass, with leakage, for almost a year now. Colonoscopy and biopsies revealed NOTHING wrong. No inflammation, bacterial causes, yeast overgrowth, structural issues, nada. I would urge you to avoid Miralax! It is a derivative of anti-freeze, and can be extremely toxic to certain kids. It got him pooping, but made my NT three year old completely OCD and impossible to live with. When we took him off, he was back to himself within 24 hours. There is a yahoo list specifically for adverse effects of Miralax. Very scary accounts. We have not found a consistently effective alternative, but flax meal ground up in a smoothie has seemed to work best. Don't overdo it - 1 TB daily depending on age and size - any more than that gave our three year old bad diarrhea. Aloe Vera Juice, Vitamin C, MOM, and probiotics did not seem to help as much as the flax meal. Good luck - feeling your pain! > > > Subject: Re:Need HELP with son's constipation... > To: mb12 valtrex > Date: Sunday, November 23, 2008, 3:39 PM > > > > > > > , I have trouble absorbing Magnesium orally too.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I would love to try the fermented vegetables. Do you just cut them up raw, or do you cook them first? After adding salt, do you store them in the refrigerator while they fermet? How long does it take for them to fermet? ost kids don't show yeast or bacteria on regular hospital testing, only OATS test through places like great plains ect will give you answers Recovering from Autism is a marathonNOT a sprint, but FULLY possible!Read more about it on my BLOGs athttp://www.myspace.com/christelking http://foggyrock.com/MyPage/recoveringwisheshttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=677063169 Re:Need HELP with son's constipation...> To: mb12 valtrex > Date: Sunday, November 23, 2008, 3:39 PM> > > > > > > , I have trouble absorbing Magnesium orally too.
