Guest guest Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Hi Its been nearly 2 weeks of SCD for my son and I do think we would be seeing better results if he wasnt so constipatied all the time.I am hoping SCD will help address this problem to some extent as he is currently on suppositories and strong laxatives(and has been for at least 18 months).Unfortunately even when we do a bowel clear out ie increasing the laxatives during school hols,weekends etc he quickly becomes loaded again.I believe that this is what a lot of his abdominal pain is down to and not just the Ileitis that he was diagnosed with recently. I am finding it difficult to find the fine line between keeping his bowels clear and him being incontinent(this has happened on a couple of occasions at school)and obviously was very distressing for my son. I was wondering if it would be OK to try orange juice with prune juice as recommended by Elaine for constipation,but to use on a daily basis so early on with my son on the SCD or would appreciate any guidance on how to prevent this problem from constantly reoccuring. many thanks in advance majidha hanif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An impaction can result in complications. Hopefully the doctor(s) will clear him out. Once the bowel is cleared you can start using the prune *nectar*/ orange juice combo each day. All fruits and veggies should be peeled and cooked to avoid worsening constipation.
