Guest guest Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 hi sheila just another update havent given fian any nut butter and his bms have returned to normal, totally healthy - utterly perfect and all the fear, pain and stress has gone as he did it in his potty!!!!!!! :-) as nuts are sending him off into the world of d, how long should i leave it before i consider trying to re-introduce them? and is it okay for me to reintroduce stage 2 foods into fians diet other than nuts, like avocado? kai is still constipated, i have a question about this, kai has always been constipated, and his gastroenterologist says because his bowel has always been too full, its sluggish and doesnt work properly - like its been stretched - so in theory this means that for him to have normal bowel function his intestinal wall will have to tighten up how do i go about moving kai onto stage 2 foods if this is the case - i wont know if they constipate him or not because hes constipated anyway plus the die off from the nut yogurt is adding to the constipation - and i dont really want to have to stop this as its obviously helping somewhere someway, unless of course you recommend that to be the case. i dont not want to give it to fian as it has stopped his d i have started giving kai milk thistle, twice a day - as a result, he has a bm 1/2 to 1 hour after it so at least we are keeping his bowels moving, and detoxing his system at the same time i am also assuming that i will tell when his bowels do improve enough as its unlikely i will need the milk thistle anymore - as it will produce d as oppossed to just soft stools? am i okay to keep him like this and move on to stage 2, or do i have to wait until the constipation is resolved and he is having at least 1 healthy bm a day on his own - its just i fear this may take a long time and i dont know how comfortable i am keeping him just on carrots and zucchinni thanks sheila kindest regards emma --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi Emma. It seems like my daughter's constipation was relieved through one chiropractic visit. She's passed stools at lunchtime every day since our visit last week. I wouldn't have believed it, especially since I was so skeptical following the appointment. There was obviously something in her body that wasn't functioning correctly - it wasn't a food issue specifically. Bowen therapy might do the same thing - you'll have to see. Make sure to mention it to the practitioner!

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi Emma. Just a thought... and I admit this is kind of hypocritical, since we had both appointments 3 days apart, but make sure you're not scheduling anything too close together. Our kids are sensitive! The Bowen therapist definitely told me to cancel all future chiropractic visits and not to make any changes at all for a few days following each appointment - it seems that after a Bowen session, it takes the body 2 or 3 days to adjust and do whatever healing it's going to do. We're still within this timeframe and my daughter's been tired and often grumpy. But I agree with you that x-rays might be useful... Just try to space out your appointments enough so you know what's helping and what's not... and to give your kids some time to rest.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Hi Emma, > just another update havent given fian any nut butter and his bms have returned to normal, totally healthy - utterly perfect and all the fear, pain and stress has gone as he did it in his potty!!!!!!! :-) Awesome!! > as nuts are sending him off into the world of d, how long should i leave it before i consider trying to re-introduce them? and is it okay for me to reintroduce stage 2 foods into fians diet other than nuts, like avocado? Yes, it is probably a good idea to avoid the nuts for another couple of weeks at least. Some other good foods to try gradually and guage his reaction with are avocado, squash, green beans (well cooked for Fian) or asparagus (if he'll eat it). > kai is still constipated, i have a question about this, kai has always been constipated, and his gastroenterologist says because his bowel has always been too full, its sluggish and doesnt work properly - like its been stretched - so in theory this means that for him to have normal bowel function his intestinal wall will have to tighten up How were Kai's BM's before the incident with his Dad? > how do i go about moving kai onto stage 2 foods if this is the case - i wont know if they constipate him or not because hes constipated anyway > > plus the die off from the nut yogurt is adding to the constipation - and i dont really want to have to stop this as its obviously helping somewhere someway, unless of course you recommend that to be the case. i dont not want to give it to fian as it has stopped his d > > i have started giving kai milk thistle, twice a day - as a result, he has a bm 1/2 to 1 hour after it so at least we are keeping his bowels moving, and detoxing his system at the same time > > i am also assuming that i will tell when his bowels do improve enough as its unlikely i will need the milk thistle anymore - as it will produce d as oppossed to just soft stools? > > am i okay to keep him like this and move on to stage 2, or do i have to wait until the constipation is resolved and he is having at least 1 healthy bm a day on his own - its just i fear this may take a long time and i dont know how comfortable i am keeping him just on carrots and zucchinni How is Kai feeling now?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hi Emma, > todays update > > fian had a 'purge' this evening, d with loads of black bits, im not actually too concerned at this point as i hope it is just a purge and there have been no incidents since When my yeast was pretty bad the die off period had stools with lots of little black bits. > ive sneaked avocado in a cpl of times to meatballs and pureed veg and they havent noticed > > trying squash tonite > > kai has really perked up, he said he had a long and slimy bm this morning which was consistent to a bm after the milk thistle, then over joyed he says 'but this afternoon i had the lots of solid brown poos hooray i had a normal poo at long last!!!' Bless his little heart!! > when we very first started scd, he went perfect, 2 bms a day perfectly formed, then we had the biokult and it all went pear shaped, just didnt seem to recover to be honest - wed have some good days and lots of bad days > > he was regular but loose since biokult and before the incident with his dad - i say regular, he went once a day - since his dad he has a hot water bottle every night, but there were no normal stools for ages after the biokult, completely upset the flora > > and today i forgot to give him nut yogurt - i dont know if that had anything to do with it > > kai says hell only eat nuts if i make him pizza - that means lots of cooked tomatos - im a little bit wary of re-introducing these when hes not quite right, he used to have terrible digesting them - this did improve immensely with no-fenol - but even so, im not sure what to here, yes the nuts would be great, but do i try a small bit of pizza, say next week and see what happens? or wait until we get a bit of consistency - im so frightened of pushing them too soon I agree with you that it may be pushing them too soon. If you do decide I'd wait until the end of next week and just a wee bit to start with. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
