Guest guest Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 >Thanks, Emma and Tammy. When I searched on yahoo the stuff I read said it liquified stools ! I don't certainly don't want to firm them ,so thanks very much for the advise. She can't tolerate citrate,not sure about glycinate. Maybe she needs an X ray to see what's going on.Her tummy is very distended after eating and she's got a tick of constant head shaking ,which she's had on and off since a year before starting SCD,and is getting worse ,she couldn't tolerate nuts,so they are out,she has problems with supplements and probiotics.I'm wondering if she's got a impaction and that is why she reacts to everything. However with all of this she had made gains.I expect she's difficient in nutrients but she seems to react to things after a few days. I've given her Liquid parrafin for the past 2 days and she had a pooh this evening,but I know there's a back log and her head is shaking and jerking a lot more.We've an appt with a GI in December,but she needs help now. We saw a neurologist Monday who just told me to ignore it!! As you can guess I'm in despair at the moment.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 hi my son didnt just tic with phenols - he also tics when his toxic levels are high - usually a precursor for constipation with my boy - magnesium also helps with this keep up with the liquid paraffin - just remember if clearing for the first time - keep it going until they pass pretty much grease then drop it right back then dosing is based on wether you see the orange grease with abowel movement hth emma chelseabill4 bill.molineux@...> wrote: >Thanks, Emma and Tammy.
