Re: Toddler Has Bad Gas and Cramping on Oxy Powder

[Guest guest]

We had this problem. Mylicon helped (we were in a pinch.)

It does go away. Can you try splitting the dose? or lowering it slightly? We

were told that " you have to find your dose. "

Thanks. It's good to know that this problem resolved for your child. I can't

give him Mylicon because he's on the SCD. I tried giving him some chamomile tea

this morning, though. I'll see if that helps him. I did lower the dose after

finding he needed two capsules in the beginning. Now he's only taking 1 1/4

capsules, which seems to be the minimum dose he needs. But it still makes him

uncomfortable every day until he poops.

Have you tried using Magnesium glycinate and/Vit C? That helps keep my son

regular. But really what helped him the most was healing his leaky gut with

probiotic, digestive enzymes, Gastro Support by Kirkman Labs and Biocidin for

the bacteria he has a result of being so constipated for years. Constipation is

a side affect from something else going on biomedically. Yeast/bacteria/food

allergies/leaky gut, etc.

How much magnesium glycinate and how much vitamin C do you have to give your son

to keep him regular? How much does he weigh?

I agree with you on the gut healing, but he's been on SCD for three months and

is still constipated. (He was constipated before going on SCD.) I have tried

probiotics, but they only helped very slightly and inconsistently. He is taking

enzymes. I think his encopresis is to the point where it is undermining efforts

to heal his gut, and I need to keep him cleaned out so the deeper healing

measures can be more effective.

almost two weeks ago. He used to poop just once a week, and he had a lot of

out. But he gets bloated and suffers from very bad gas pain and maybe even

cramping. Then once he poops he seems to feel wonderful. He's like a different

Hi

 

We started my son on oxypowder at about the same age. I found I could give less

if I gave it before bed with lemon water. He always seemed uncomfortable before

a bm...he would get all frantic like..pacing and nervous which seemed to get

worse with oxypowder. As he got older we realized it was because he was trying

to hold it in ( which obviously makes one uncomfortable and gassy) Just

something to look for. You could try giving it every other night for a while and

see if that helps. I know, when they are so little ..makes it even harder to

figure out.

My son weighs 78 lbs. and we give him 1500 Vit C/day and one Kirkman Buffered

Magensium Glycinate cap/day. He also get other forms of magnesium in his multi

vit. We give him just enough to keep motility, but not soft/loose stools. Once

you see loose/too soft stools, back off a bit on dosage of both. My son was

GF/CF for 10 mos and was still constipated. Not until I started digestive

enzymes, probiotics in AM/PM, Gastro Support and Biocidin did his constipation

go away. If I back off on any of these, it will return.

Just wanted to provide an update in case my story might help somebody else. I've

found that giving him probiotics with the Oxy Powder relieves him from the

extreme bloating and gas. I have been giving him GI Pro Infant probiotics, and

they made a difference immediately. I think it's the bifidobacterium that are

making the difference. He's so much happier now, and life no longer revolves

around poop! I suspect his problem was much, much worse than just constipation.

I think he had a lot of compacted waste in his colon, making his passage narrow,

and making it very difficult and painful for him to poop, once he finally did.

The Oxy Powder has cleaned him out, and it's been getting easier for him. He's

starting to get used to pooping again. Once he's been regular a while, I will

try using magnesium and maybe also vitamin C. FWIW, I've found that it also

works great to give s. boulardii with the Oxy Powder.
