Constipation Still a Problem

[Guest guest]

My ds has been having constipation issues ever since we started

supplements in July. I have changed the calcium carbonate to

citrate, he takes 400 mg mag citrate daily, 2 gr vitamin C daily. I

have never known him to have any issues with yeast, which I have

read can cause problems with this, but he takes 1 Tbsp coconut oil

daily to help combat yeast if it arises. We have tried senna,

increasing mag, raisins, even milk of magnesia the last two days,

but nothing seems to work. I have had to give him enemas three

times in the last 3 months because he became impacted and nothing

else seemed to work. I really don't like to do this. We have never

had this problem before. I have cut back on the B vitamins in case

they were causing problems, but no luck. I am trying to increase

his water intake, but he doesn't drink water easily. We have done 9

rounds of chelation. I am really getting worried about this, and

may have do suspend chelation until it gets straightened out, but I

don't want to. He is 7 yo and showing slow but steady progress on

chelation. I have read that enzymes can help some kids with this. He

has never taken enzymes, and has never had any gut problems. What

enzymes would be best? Any other ideas to get him regular and keep

him that way?

I have learned so much from everyone here, and I am so thankful I

found this group.
