A cup of epsom salt in a warm bath works like a charm for us!

Also, Epsom Salt baths will cause a bowel movement within 2 hours if you put

enough into the bath. You will find advice on " how much " to use on the web, but

I'd say at least a cup of Epsom Salts and 20-30 minutes in the tub. Maybe 2

cups, but do your research. Also, the Epsom Salts are calming.

start Oil of Oregano about the time that her daughter became constipated. We

were thinking the Oil of Oregano was interacting with her probiotics and killing

the good bacteria in it. Does anyone have any advice? Someone else suggested

that she use magnesium citrate for a quick fix and then get back on a healthy

regimen?

Could this be why my son has loose bowl movements. His stool is soft not diarea

(sp). Still soft. We do the enzymes and the diet but this has been an issue.

We give him epsom salt baths daily?

Thanks in advance,

 How about upping the doses of probiotics and enzymes?

Yes, I give him epsom salt baths daily and more for the detox than calming. I

was trying to figure out why his stools are so soft. We thought it might be due

to the fish oil and cod liver oil. Our DAN suggested cutting out the Cod Liver

since he gets enough vitamin A in his multi-vitamin. Even after doing this, it

did not seem to make a major difference. Last night I did not do the epsom

salts and his stool was a little better. I will try to alternate days and see

how that goes or do every third day or something. Thanks for the advice. Hope

this was it.

I'm confused. Are you saying that you give him Epsom salt baths daily and he has

loose stools? then, yes, cut back to only every other day for the Epsom Salt

baths and see if you have improvements.

In the in between days, put lavendar in the bath instead. It will be calming.

Also, a lavendar essential oil in an mist machine (the kind for aromatherapy) or

your basic essential oil warmer (mix with olive oil so the lavendar doesn't burn

off). Kava Kava, an herb, is also calming.
