My son was constipated before the GFCF diet . When we removed dairy we

saw a noticable difference and when we removed gluten he became very

regular (every day or every other day) and normal stools. I would take

him off of the stool softener. He should not need it if he's on the GFCF

diet.

Good Luck!!!

My son went gfcf all at once, so I can't say that one aspect of the

diet did it, but his swings from constipation to diarrhea (probably

overflow) ended quite promptly. Another child who lived with us for

a time had chronic, severe constipation (daily meds, frequent

enemas), and that ended during the first week with us. (We have a

gfcf household.) The condition returned within a few weeks of

resuming a " standard " diet.

We saw no improvement with the diet and constipation. What is currently

working for us is using a probiotic called Perfect Stool Plus and Ojibwa

Tea. You can get both from http://www.ojibwatea.com

We tried 1/4 tsp. 3 times a day mixed with O.J. for 10 days with no

success, then we upped the amount to 1/2 tsp. 3 times a day and started

seeing changes. Behavior got a lot worse during this time (I was told

due to yeast die-off) but is now starting to improve and he is more

regular now (every 1 - 2 days). We're dropping down to giving it twice a

day and see if things continue to go well.

It should help with diarrhea as well.

-------- ??? GF and diarrhea

Hello,

We have been cf for 3 months, then went gf. Our son has been treated

for

constipation all along. At this point we are seeing loose stools ...

barely

making it to the bathroom. He has been on aggressive constipation

management

(stool softeners, etc.) Does the gf diet relieve constipation or maybe

something else? Has others seen constipation being relieved with the gf

diet? Please share your experiences.

Thanks

My youngest never had regular or smooth BMs until 7 1/2 years old. He

was constipated, diarrhea, or somewhere irregularly inbetween. And

the smell was horrible. Another poster mentioned her son being " off "

all the time and finally got it regulated by using 3 Culturelles

given throughout the day (they eventually added one ProBio Gold to

add different strains). So we gave 3 Culturelles throughout the day

and he " got regular. " I tried backing down to 1 after 1 month, but he

regressed, so back to 3 we went. Since starting enzymes (1 Petizyde

and 1 Zyme Prime at ANY meal), we went to 2 Culturelles with no

regression and this got rid of the smell. I plan on trying going to 1

in a week or so.

My son never had diarrhea. It was always constipation. He now goes every

day or every other day. All stools are nicely formed. It started within 3

weeks of the diet.

We fought constipation too. Now, we have " mushy " stools, sometimes peanut

butter

like. I am not doing anything for constipation right now so I would have to

assume it's the diet. I don't think you need to manage constipation on the

diet. Just my opinion.

Oh yes! had terrible constipation since coming to us at 8 months.

And huge when he did go! Things have straightened out now. Also saw your

post on Dr. L. If you are using NTV-D try stopping the enzymes. Works for

us.

Definately! If I eat gluten, I'm constipatated. If I stay on the diet I'm

fine.

Hi-

Brett was extremely constipated until we removed dairy over a year

ago. Since then his stools have been hovering between extremely soft

and diarrhea. I was hoping going gfcf would improve them, but after

3 months, it hasn't. We went to a GI doctor who found the

bug " blastocystis hominus " in his stools. We're now on our third

round of meds to treat it, and no improvement yet. You may want to

have a stool study done. At the DAN conference, they said that b.

hominus was very common in autistic kids.

Good luck-

Sue
