Guest guest Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 We have recently found a probiotic supplement called VSL #3 _http://www.vsl3.com/_ (http://www.vsl3.com/) that has made a huge difference with this problem for my son and a little girl I work with who had major, ongoing constipation problems. I'm not sure what Dr. Goldberg would think about using this since he's very particular about which probiotic supplements to use but it appears to meet his criteria of being a pure probiotic supplement with nothing that " boosts " the immune system.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 We have been there for 6 terrible months! We have tried oxy powder, magnesium citrate, miralax, pedialax, and all lax stuff, and nothing! Our son is a hard case! We just found relief with VSL#3 with mineral oil to make the exit smoother. He was going once ever 6 days, and we needed to enema about 2x a month due to fever/pain. He now is going AT LEAST every other day, if not once a day! Vsl#3 is a medical food probiotic, and you can order on line, or even order at your costco pharmacist. No rx needed. That's what helped us. Best to you!

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 We have used oxypowder but have found that getting the dose right to make a long-term difference without negative symptoms is very difficult. Smaller doses don't keep things moving for him, more pills (2-3/day) are waaayyyy too effective to the point of being uncomfortable or causing leakage. It's also just a laxative (magnesium based) while the VSL rebuilds good bacteria in the gut. Neither were recommended to us by Dr. Goldberg though so I don't know if he'd be comfortable including them in a protocol. Unfortunately, Dr. G wasn't able to offer a solution that helped my son's severe constipation problems that started after he began the protocol. While he's remained on the meds through a local doctor, we've strayed a bit to help the constipation issue and have found that a combo of alternating one and two oxypowder caps a day and two VSL caps keep him regular and feeling much better.
