RE: Constipation - Fluconazole

[Guest guest]

At first, it took a few weeks for us to see any benefit to the antifungal.

Now, when he changes, we usually see the benefit within a week or so. Others

may have found that the antifungal meds have helped their constipation but they

unfortunately made my son's worse. He gets extremely constipated on milk

products though so I think it is the lactose in most of the antifungals that

stops him up more. After years of trying various things to get him " going " , we

found that Oxypowder works wonderfully. I'm not sure what the folks would

think of using Oxypowder since it is a supplement. However, none of the

-recommended things (Benefiber, mineral oil) worked for him and he was not

gaining any weight due to the increased constipation problem. Since he started

Oxypowder, he's been going regularly, feeling much better, much clearer mind and

has gone from weighing 65 pounds at age 14 to 98 pounds at age 15.

Hi ,

With the antifungals (Nizoral, Diflucan) my son had die-off. Whiny,

screaming, wreck for several days, then much improvement in his disposition,

eye contact, language, attention.

has helped my son's chronic constipation by creating general and

overall health. His diet is really 'clean' (he is gf, cf, sf, corn-free,

preservative-free, dye-free, refined sugar-free, nitrite-free) and his body

tends to be healthier since being on .

Constipation - Fluconazole

Please excuse my anxiety, my son is on fluconazole for a

week, so far nothing change much except for a night with stomach ache

and a bit bad mood. How long did it take for you to see if your kids

are responding?

Other question:

my son´s been constipated for almost 2 years, has fluco helped with

that for you?

How does the protocol treat constipation?

Thanks

Hi -

It often takes two weeks and more to see an

improvement, depending on how he responds of course,

and what type of problem yeast might be for him.

If he has an inflammatory gut reaction to yeast (like

I do and believe my boys did), then it can take a bit

of time for the inflammation to die down. BTW - there

is no lab to test if this is the case. And sometimes

our systems are so messed up that yeast isn't the only

issue to be addressed, but sometimes between diet,

simple single strain probiotics like acidophilus or 3

strain Kydodophilus, good diet practices, and some

time, this can resolve rather well. There may be more

than one trigger to address.

I'd give it a month. What is the daily dose for your

son?

Stomach aches can happen if " things start moving " .

Die off can also cause some cramping, and especially

irritability.

Sometimes you see nothing at all, but this does not

mean that there is not an underlying benefit taking

place that is going to continue to work by relieving

stress off of a hot immune system, so while I wish

everyone could see the " miracles " I got to see in my

boys, I haven't always experienced them w/myself until

I stopped the Diflucan and remembered what it used to

be like.

.

We've had immediate dramatic response (son jumping wildly into the ball pit

at therapy when he had been very timid about getting into it for years...

therapists jaw dropped on that one!), not much response, and sort of a

subtle response (talking more loudly, a little more fidgety) at different

times of starting it on two boys on and off over 5 years. The best results

we have seen have been in inverse proportion to the severity of the die-off.

That's not to say that there has to be a big die-off for it to help.

Here is a link to a medline page on it...

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a690002.html

We still deal with constipation, maybe due to the fact that ours are both on

iron as well, but we use Citrucel for that and it helps some. I read

recently that Miralax is going to be over-the counter soon and that is one

you could ask about... it is basically invisible to the kids having it in

their favorite drink and does not " get thick " like some others.

As the for the upset stomach, make sure you mention that to the doctor...

not sure if anything can be done about it but maybe there could be (such as

cutting back on the dose a little to ease in more slowly if the stomach

upset is due to intense die-off).

Good luck.

Thanks Kristy, Caroline, , Gaylen. You cool down my

anxiety ... for next 2 weeks.

My son is taking 100mg/day he is about 40pnd (18kg) and 3.5yo.

He is on gfcf corn, soy, aditives, preservants free diet and very

low refined sugar.

Actually he only eats cow meat (he craves for it, does it mean

anything? tryptophane deficience?) and a bit of organic brown rice,

smashed potatoes and one banana a day, that´s it.

(fortunately meat is unexpensive down here )

take care

Hi ,

My son used to crave hamburgers and steak all the time, too. Lunch & dinner,

that was all he wanted. He has been on iron (I give him Solgar Gentle Iron

Non-Constipating) for several months, and now he eats beef a couple of times

a week at the most.

What about Aloe Vera Juice... just a few shots 3-6 oz. @ a time

twice daily. This has been known to really be helpful.

Aloe is also healing, so it *might* aid in healing the gut.
