constipation- need help now

[Guest guest]

Eli has been on scd for 16 days now, having started with chronic

constipation. When we started, he stopped his illegal herbal

laxatives, which were giving him hard to push out diarrhea, at six caps

a day, which wasn't ideal, but better than letting it all cake onto the

colon wall. We've tried the scd recommended cooked prunes for 5 days,

then the concentrated down prune juice with lemon (he can't have

orange) and hot tea for 4 days. These didn't help. So basically he's

been constipated again (excuse the graphics, small hard pellet poops

once a day) for 16 days. Scd hasn't made a difference yet. We've

tried over the years high vit. C, high magnesium, many colon

hydrotherapies, flax oil, and lots of other things. He's going back to

college tomorrow and I don't want to have to restart him on the herbal

laxatives again, since they are illegal scd. Does anyone out there

have any ideas?
