Constipation

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue,

Constipation is a common occurrence on this program as folks begin to eliminate

carbs and have yet to get their fat levels up to those that are recommended.

You can try some of the remidies listed in this article from Bee's website:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig1.php

If you haven't perused Bee's website very much yet, you might want to hope on

over there and take a look at the wealth of articles/information available to

you. There's also a search box on the top right corner of every page so you

search for anything you can think of in relation to this diet and natural

healing.

I hope that helps,

Jackie

I used to go everyday no problem. Here is the weird thing I have no bloating or

pain or even gas and therefore no urge. What is happening and what can i do to

get my bowels moving? Oh and i've been using extra virgin olive oil for all my

cooking. I'm going to get the coconut oil today.

+++Hi Sue. You will get constipated if you change over to this program too

quickly, so please ensure you follow this article to make the transition over to

this program: Curing Candida, How to Get Started

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php

You might need to backtrack and add some grains, but I suggest adding buckwheat

instead of any other kind - here's a recipe for Buckwheat Pancakes:

Hi Sue:

Welcome.

Jackie addressed your concerns about constipation. But I also wanted to remind

you that Bee does not recommend olive oil for cooking because the heat messes

with the olive oil. Instead use butter, lard and coconut oil. Only use olive

oil as more of a condiment, poured over foods for flavor without cooking it.

I have found that Tropical Traditions is a good oil for cooking as it has much

less coconut flavor. I use Nutiva for egg drink because the coconut flavor is

nice in these.

Best,

Marissa

> This is my second week on the diet, the first time I have ever not eaten any

carbs.  I use to eat brown rice with my meals alot.  The past couple of days I

have been eating alot of meat with vegetables and the electrolyte drink.  For

some reason I am now constipated and feeling very discouraged as it's not

something I have ever had a real problem with before. I'm just starting to take

the supplements so the past few days I've been taking 1 vitamin c in the morning

and afternoon, and 1 Vit E per day at the moment.

+++Hi . I think you changes over to this diet too quickly, which can

make you constipated since you have to increase your good fats slowly, otherwise

you'll get too many healing symptoms.

You might have to backtrack a little, and add some brown rice, until you can get

your fat ratios up high enough so you are not constipated.

That's why you need to follow Curing Candida, How to Get Started:

You can buy it most health food stores. We order all our stuff off of

Vitacost.com much cheaper, and it is only $4.95 shipping no matter how

much you order. We get a lot of GF stuff there as well and other

supplements...

Where do you get Calm Magnesium Calcium powder?

We use benefiber for our kids whom are constipated as do not want to do

Miralax on a regular basis.

Thank you

Well with , she would get recurrent yeast infections, lots of cradle

cap and dry patches of skin but mostly she would grind her teeth at night

terribly, her behavior was just wild, trouble sleeping, straddling our

sofa arms and moving back and forth, and playing with herself under her

covers. Yes and only 6 years old... but behavior was the tell tale sign,

very loud, screaming a lot, no impulse control, was a true danger to self

in public, we just could not take her anywhere. Plus she just was very

defiant, and aggressive. We have her on GF/CS/EF due to allergies, but

we had the best luck with Trienza digestive enzymes along with the

Magnesium calm, with 3 drops of GSE liquid, and a crushed Calcium tablet in

her juice...And the yeast has been under control for awhile now. We also

do Candidase and Virastop at night on a empty stomach. She is a totally

different child. It takes awhile for the yeast to break out, in the

beginning if you try the yeast control give activated charcoal about 1 hour

after the yeast killers, Help absorb the die-off toxins....

How do you know if child has bacteria or yeast issues?

At my house, I could tell by the behaviors.

> I'm almost to my 3rd week of following your diet. While I am still having

acne I have not had a cyst since switching over (knock on wood). This is great

since i have an interview coming up, its hard enough being 26 with acne but

cysts are another story.

+++Hi Garrett. Good for you!

>

> Anyways, over the past week or so I have become constipated regularly. I use

to never have constipation issues. Is this due to the die off?

+++If you change over to the diet too fast, without being able to get your good

fats up high enough, it can caused constipation. The reason it is difficult to

get fats up high quickly is because they are increase detoxification and

healing.

> I am drinking plenty of liquids and doing a coffee enema every 4-5 days. I

also do the dry skin brushing at least once a day.

>

> I was only taking 4,000 mg of Vitamin C a day so i will switch up to that

amount in the morning and continue adding until i have a loose stool.

+++Vitamin C many help, but if you've ever had constipation in the past your

body will also be " retracing " it while it is healing.

+++This is probably a good time for you to do the 9-Day Program:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig6.php

Let me know how you do on it.

All the best, Bee

My son who is 7 is having a lot of constipation problems the month or

so, I am giving him prune juice and surprisingly it is not working as

well as I had hoped. I have also started to use Miralax, any suggestions

on what might work for him.

Thanks so much

Lori

[Guest guest]

Great! I will have to try these on him. Thanks so much!

Hi Lori-My son has the same problem. He drinks prune juice also, but I

have added Fiber Choice chewables to his supplements. You can take one

or two per day. I have only used one to be on the safe side and it has

really helped him.

Hi Lori,

Are you giving him the Miralax with Meals? My son's

gastroenterologist said that it works a lot better with meals.

Lori,

This might sound like a tame suggestion, but will your son eat oatmeal? My 7

year old has had chronic constipation for years. Without intervention, his

system would go about once every 7 days!! With various interventions like

Miralax, Milk of Magnesia, OxyPowder, Epsom Salt baths, aloe vera juice, ect...

we could get him up to maybe every three to four days at best. We tried

everything! But in the past few weeks, he has been willing to eat a bowl of

oatmeal every morning, and voila! he is having a BM just about every day. And it

must be more comfortable for him too because he no longer insists I be in there

with him like he used to. He want his privacy, says, " Go, Mama! " and points me

to the door.

He also happens to be on Nizoral now for yeast, and yeast can cause

constipation. So the yeast clean-up could be a factor in the improvement. But we

have seen similar results with regular oatmeal in the past. I make the glop more

appealing with a xylitol " maple syrup " to make it sweet and fun without all the

sugar.

If you are looking for a supplement, the most effective one for us was

OxyPowder. It made him go more often, but it was often runny. I've heard a lot

of people recommend aloe Vera Juice, " 's " brand specifically.

Does Dr. G approve this?

I would think he would even have a hard time with the prune juice as it is

so loaded with sugar and I believe any dried fruit also can contribute to

yeast???

The ONLY thing he ever recommended for constipation for my son, as I have

also heard from quite a few other paediatricians, is mineral oil. Serve a

teaspoon of it cold, in cold juice to dull the taste.

Be SUPER careful with chewable fiber tablets. I have heard they can be

dangerous if they are not taken with enough water/liquid.

Hi Lori,

We used to give ground flax seed with his food and it used to work well. Now i

don't use it because not seeing much issues like earlier so you can buy ground

flax seed from organic stores. I am not sure what Dr G feels about that?

My son had the problem as well. I have tried to change his diet, by giving him

2.2 pounds of vegetable per day and  an orange or a banana. In addition to ,64

ounces of Mineral water such as arrowhead. It works better than giving him

mineral oil.He will have stomach cramp by giving him mineral oil. All natural ,

Healthy and Safe.

My son needed mineral oil for a few years, but he no longer needs it. He’s

been on the protocol for 4.5 years. He is not a huge fan of vegetables or

fruits, but he gets 3+ servings/day of apple, carrots, and/or shredded broccoli

and he’s “regularâ€.

Lori,

I just wanted to throw in a thought... did you know that Xylitol has a

laxative effect?

I just wanted to mention that in case you end up not being able to do

oatmeal (Dr. G has banned it for both of my boys). The xylitol may be part

of what is helping your son¹s constipation.
