Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 we use high doses of magnesium to get things moving then find a base rate (about 800 mg a day for my 8 year old) to keep it going, - its probably die off but a magnesium deficiency causes constipation, and i think at the earlier stages if you are not eating a lot of nuts, then you arent getting as much magnesium as you may need. hth emma kai ppd 8 fian 3 was heading for ahhd diagnosis rescued through treatment for yeast scd 2nd time around 7 days > > Hello everyone... > > Been hibernating doing the diet just fine and just came up with a > problem... > > My mom said that she had seen Molly constipated since starting the > diet and today i saw it too...poor thing she cant even tell me about > it... > > I am starting to research it some, but whats the quick summary of what > to do? > > Thanks! > Randy > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 When KiKi battled with this we used flax seed oil. 1 t per 25 pounds of weight. It did the trick! Did this at every meal. She ended up being low on fatty acids. Her gut was so damaged it couldn't break down and digest the fat. Caused constipation. Now she is fine. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I am not sure if she gets enough 'fat'...by fat what do you mean in particular? What does fat have to do with it? We are dairy free also by the way...

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Thanks for the help yall! GRANNY, could you resend me that email about constipation, lost it... So far, solutions to be tried are: 800mg per day of magnesium added to supplements... Double Vitamin C dose... Double flax seed oil dose (will also try to get her on Cod Liver Oil again...she threw up last time she tried it)... Prune juice... More fiber... Digestive Enzymes and probiotics...
