Re: Can mold cause constipation?

[Guest guest]

If you got inflammed bowels it could cause constipation. a live mold

colonating in there might cause this. myco's may cause the opposite

effect.no telling what your getting in that dust. can't they use a

sprayer to wet things down a bit to cut the dust?

Yes it can cause constipation!! That's just on of many symptoms.

Just prepare yourself for the strange feelings and symptoms yet to

come. It's not fun; believe me I know first hand. I've been

extremely ill for the past five years.

Also everybody feel free to communicate with me via email:

arealis@... . I could use some help, advice, anything.

Also maybe my GP doctor will not roll her eyes if I show her that

there are people out there with proven relationship between mold

exposure and symptoms very similar to mine.

Regarding the constipation oat meal helps me so much with that

problem and I take flax seed oil capsules. Flaxseed is good for alot.

I am not sure if I have trouble with grains but oatmeal has helped

me.

Branislav, have your doctor give you a prescription for Sorbital (sp)

it's a laxative and seems to work better than all the others, I

don't know why. This is also the same medication that Dr.Shoemaker

prescribes. As much as many don't like to discuss it many do

experience the constipation, so it might be a good idea to get an

enema bag to help keep yourself flushed. I'm sure your GI tract and

other levels to help your digestion are all messed up like many who

have been exposed to mold. They have linked this to Crohns disease,

IBS, so it does make sense.

Mold toxins can cause constipation in the form of a toxin-driven intestinal

obstruction (paralytic ileus)

I learned that today...

[Guest guest]

Does this also cause dieerhia? I often have inflamation in that area, I

rarely get constipated, thank goodness. dieerhia for years has left me

with a lack of muscles in that area. my bowels can get pretty inflammed

sometimes and it seems to make the constipation come on or is caused by

it. but it also gets inflammed with dieerhia. I used to be normal like

clockwork. what is all this inflamation or fever in that area? it

doesn't seem to be exactly like IBS. I haven't really researched this

much.

You need to ask a doctor, but yes, I know for a fact that it can also

cause diarrhea in the lower bowel.. I've gotten that too. Thats one of

the better known effects of some mold exposures.

I was talking about a paralysis of the peristalsis or whatever it is

called.. they are two different thngs, both bad..

I wouldn't be surprised (but don't know this as fact that) both could

be caused by the body trying to minimize the absorbtion of the

mycotoxins in different ways...

Thanks KC, Barb and everyone who gave me tips about this. I hope I

won't have to deal with such severe constipation ever again.

My GP told me to eat bran and drink a lot of water. However, the

constipation is gone since Monday (thank God), and my bowel movements

are almost normal, although I can feel my whole body is still under

pressure probably trying to figure out how to best deal with this new

toxin. Perhaps I worsened things last week by taking a lot of a

painkiller that contains codeine (which is known to cause

constipation). On the other hand I took that painkiller many times

before and didn't have anything remotely severe as this, so it must

have been related or compounded by mold.

My " constipation " is caused by my spinal cord demyelination......secondary to

toxic mold building syndrome. It bites......BIG time. I have to use prune

juice or a laxative, at least once a week, & then I have NO bowel control

whatsoever.....so I spend the entire day at home. NOTHING works below my

waist.

[Guest guest]

I can only add my two cents(experience); since I'm dealing with

probable Lyme, Morgellons & Mold; I'm kind of guessing my way through

alot of things, but I do notice, when away from home & condo, my bowels

seem to get back on track. When here, about every 3-4 weeks. my legs

swell, then get constipated, confused then resort to laxatives. Just

my experience..

Hi ,

I have irritable bowel from the mold. I use citrucel everyday as suggested by

the gastroenterologist. It has been a big help to me - much less constipation.

Have you ever tried this? It may help-

take care,

I have irritable bowel and I get both diarrhea and constipation. The

gastroenterologist has me taking citrucel everyday. It has helped -

[Guest guest]

I don't think mold is an actual direct cause for a lot of the problems

we have...what I do believe is that mold lowers our immune system to

such a horrible low degree that our bodies go out of wack and when our

body is out of wack, we are going to have problems. So this being said,

we can blame mold for most of our problems. I have a host of issues

which I believe are caused by my low immune system which was caused by

the mold.

[Guest guest]

thanks, val.....but i've tried it all. i'd prefer to stay somewhat constipated,

cause of my total lack of control.

I don't know. I was tested over a year ago but I can't remember. I

know I am way off because I am so sick right now. I am going to a

different doctor in a couple of weeks so I may know more by then.

One thing, we are getting a new roof because this one started

leaking. The past 2 days that the roofers have been working on the

roof, I have been terribly ill. I am thinking it is stirring up a lot

of crap!
