Re: SCD for CD w/constipation?/Sheila

Hi Jeanne,

I'm not sure what you mean: Do you mean that your son isn't

constipated when he doesn't have yeast? What happens to his bm's

when he has yeast?

<< I know it happens when my son has yeast and when he doesn't that

he does get constipated

.... sometimes when he has a BM it looks like a little hard meatball

and I see a little blood on one of the hard meatball feces. Is this

from pushing to hard from being constipated or is it something else?

What can I give him to help with the constipation, I do increase milk

thistle, Vit C and Magnesium but sometimes it doesn't help, any

thoughts? >>

Hi Jeanne,

<< I'm saying once in a great while he'll get constipated, but doesn't

have yeast. But he does get constipated when he does have yeast and I

don't know whether it's the Nystatin that makes him constipated. >>

When he has yeast they can contribute to the constipation - from the

release of their metabolites during their natural life cycle. If you

are treating with Nystatin this can get worse especially when starting

it because so many of the yeast are dying you are flooding the body

with their metabolites (by-products). Epsom salt treatments (baths,

creams etc..) and/or activated charcoal may help remove the metabolites

which are toxins.

It may be from straining, it may be from irritation of the bowel wall

(irritated by the metabolites).

What is he eating at those times?

Milk thistle isn't tecnically illegal or legal. On Lyris, Elaine

wrote " I cannot say it is illegal because it just might hasten up the

process of detoxification of the liver. If you have been using it and

there has been no diarrhea and you can see results, then use it. "

Have you tried the constipation protocol at the main site:

When he is yeasty and constipated you'd probably want to stay with the

nut goods (ansd less of the prune mix) to see if that helped move

things. Some have said the electrolyte mix at

http://pecanbread.com/recipes.html (Drinks section) got things moving.
