Constipation

[Guest guest]

Dear fellow listers,

Here is my son's situation. is 2.8 yrs. old, PDD-NOS diagnosis, has

been SCD minus casein since 11/5/07, and GFCF since 9/29/07. also

takes MB12 shots every other night, DMG, L-Carnitine, Brain Child Super

Sensitive Vits. and Min., calcium supp., No Phenol, Kirkman's Enzym Complete

DPP-IV II, B6, Mag. Citrate (1/4 tsp. to help with the constipation), CLO and

Folonic Acid. Over the holiday, I introduced almond flour (diarrhea has been

cleared for a long time) in the form of pie crust and cookies. For the past few

days, he has been very constipated (will have 1-2 BM's but they are pellets that

are hard a a rock). Then on Thursday, he did not have one at all and only one

on Friday. This afternoon, while we were out running errands, he started

vomiting. It was foul smelling with what looked like strings in it. When we

got home I decided that it was time for additional assistance, and gave him a

suppository. Within minutes, he had a BM, but it was

like sandy pellets. So my question is, what do I do next to get his body going

more regularly. While I am waiting for a call from his DAN Dr., I thought I

would come to you guys for assistance with this matter. Any suggestions are

greatly appreciated.

Hi Kelley,

Your son is not ready for the nut flours. Some kids cannot tolerate

the nut flours for the first months of SCD. Some kids may take as long

as 6 months before being able to tolerate nut flours..

Please read this website. I WANT ALL NEWBIES TO READ IT.

Pecans and hazelnut butters are easier to digest but I would wait

months before introducing those foods. Please go back to the intro

diet for a few days.
