Re: has been on the diet for a month and has had cooked prunes daily!

[Guest guest]

Pamela,

I don't know the whole situation as to how long you've been scd, and how

long the constepation has been persisting. Have you tried prune juice?

Also, you can try some pediatric sapositories. I don't know if that would

be a concern for some reason for you, but I have used the with all of my

children at various times with good results. There can sometimes be a trick

to getting the bowels moving when they've been blocked for so long and very

impacted. You have to insert the sapository a certain way, and you may have

to use several over the course of a day or two. I can give you further

instruction if you think that it might help.

Thanks YOU Meleah!

has been using organic cooked prunes for about 1 month

now. I also give him organic prune juice with No added sugar. I

can't believe that this has not done the trick! I don't feel good

about using a supository with him. He is 16 and been thru so many

tests that hurt him lately! He does drink LOTS in a day though

about 2 liters of water/green tea/prune juice. He drink cranberry

juice with lots of water and stevia too. I have not done orange

juice and would only do an ORGANIC TYPE with no sugar. I am not at

all OK with anything NON organic especially with all the bad

chemicals sprayed on oranges. Could organic orange juice help?

Maybe one with lots of pulp. does not eat oranges

generally as it is hard to get organic ones. I am cooking all his

fruit still too. He has been on the SCD for about one month now.

Thanks and cheers!

Dear Pamela,

I, too, have a child that has had great difficulty with chronic

constipation. Elaine's constipation protocol helped briefly, but it

wasn't a permanent solution for us. Many of the other typical

solutions (vitamin C, magnesium, etc.) didn't really work for us

either. Something that has helped immensely, though, was the

electrolyte solution recipe on the Pecanbread website. My daughter

is MUCH more regular now since I give her this stuff daily.

My guess is that somehow her electrolyte level was significantly

diminished, inhibiting her ability to pass her bowels. I don't have

any other explanation for why this helped. Anyway, I thought maybe

this was something you could give a try. I'll cross my fingers for

you.

Another thing that helps with constipation is beets... I would serve them

cooked and pureed, if possible. Someone also once posted that fresh been JUICE

(home juiced) was helpful.

Don't be alrmed if the beets show up as red in the stool.

It may be too soon for , but I juice watermelon, strawberries and beets

together

with a tiny bit of ginger and dilute with water. I'd wait a while before trying

this as it tastes

strong.

Thanks Carol and Patti!

I will try to get this on Monday. I started the electrolytes water

recipe! He has had 1.5 liters thus far. Seem to like it LOTS! I

am gicving it to my child with achondroplasia as well. I feel she

has major gut issues too! She too is full of poop. So lets hope it

helps! I will keep you all posted!!! Great to have so many here to

get info and learn with!!!

Cheers and much thanks!
