Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I've tried searching the site for constipation remedies, but the link provided does not seem to be appearing. My daughter, I think, is suffering from yeast. She is distended, and occasionally giggly. Her stools are hard and like balls. Is this normal? She has been on the diet 20months. She eats all the foods in all the stages. I believe her diet to be varied. She has very large quantities of food in a day, I I'm not convinced the output of stools is enough compared to the input of food.(how much honey is recommended per day for a child, how much fruit per day?) Am i right to think her stools should be more like tubes? If so, what remedies do you suggest for constipation? My DAN doctor says psyllium or flax seed, but I know that both of these are illegal. We are using caprilic acid to address the yeast, since diflucan and nystatin did not seem to work.(just started today) In the meantime, I would love to give her bowels a " jump start " . Thank you , mum to Amy,ASD 10yrs, 20mths SCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hi , The link is working but yahoo breaks up long links so they don't seem to work.

Fitday.com can help determine this. <<Am i right to think her stools should be more like tubes? >> Yes. <<If so, what remedies do you suggest for constipation? My DAN doctor > says psyllium or flax seed, but I know that both of these are illegal.>> Have a look at the constipation protocol. If you still can't get to it let me know and I'll send you the info offlist. <<> We are using caprilic acid to address the yeast, since diflucan and > nystatin did not seem to work.(just started today) > In the meantime, I would love to give her bowels a " jump start " . > > Thank you > , > mum to Amy,ASD 10yrs, 20mths SCD.>> For yeast please see http://pecanbread.com/new/yeast.html http://pecanbread.com/new/yeastsheila.html When treating yeast I had to work very hard not to become constipated. Start the protocol and let us know if that helps if not we may have some other suggestions for what to do next.

After that I'm going to introduce stewed prunes and if that doesn't work, then the prune juice and OJ.(which prune juice is legal?) I'm also going to introduce magnesium citrate. How much would you suggest? I will give her more nut yoghurt(will make some at the weekend). I'll wait until after the intro before giving her that. Have I understood correctly? Thanks .

After that I'm going to introduce stewed prunes and if that doesn't work, then the prune juice and OJ. (which prune juice is legal?)>> The first step for the constipation protocol after the intro is to add one nut muffin/day along with cooked and peeled vegetables and fruits. After a few days if not responding add stewed prunes with breakfast. Elaine suggested to try this for 7-10 days. If no luck yet she then suggested to try the prune nectar and OJ etc.. <<I'm also going to introduce magnesium citrate. How much would you > suggest? I will give her more nut yoghurt(will make some at the > weekend). I'll wait until after the intro before giving her that. I am not sure-I haven't used it. Many other families use it hopefully- they'll tell you what they use. > Have I understood correctly? > Thanks .>> Close but not quite..see above notes.
