Still Constipated

[Guest guest]

My son is STILL constipated. He never experienced constipation

before we started SCD and I'm starting to feel extremely

frustrated. He got better after we cut out/back on eggs and meat,

but only for a few days. The magnesium citrate has helped, but not

a lot. We have tried everything. Epsom salts, electrolyte drink,

prune, I even tried a castor oil pack which did work very well and

got quite a bit of junk out of there but I know that's not SCD

legal. We did an OAT test and had to pull, apples, pears, and grape

juice for that test and that seemed to help as well, so he's not

eating those anymore either. He is still going every day, but is

clearly constipated and bloated. His diet includes a small amount

of eggs, a small amount of boiled chicken, a very very small amount

of beef just enough to get him to swallow the bone broth, avacado,

cucumber, spinach, pineapple, peaches, coconut milk, pumpkin, and

butternut squash, a very small amount of ginger and honey, and a

little bit of coconut oil used to cook the eggs. The supplements he

is taking are fish oil from green pasture, and magnesium citrate.

Do you see anything in the diet that might be the culprit?

Do you think that probiotics would help with this constipation? We

ordered those a month ago and they called and said it would be still

another month before they are ready. So I am ordering from Kirkman

instead.

This is so frustrating because before doing this diet, he didn't

have these problems. His DAN doctor said to just keep at it, but

even he was surprised that we are having so much constipation and

said that it really should be resolving by now.

Thank you,
