constipation and enzymes during antifungal treatment...

[Guest guest]

I keep trying to add enzymes and it increases constipation each time. Mostly i

am doing the nofenol between meals for yeast. We are on 2 million units of

nystatin (spread over 4 daily doses) per day. Do candex or candinese tend to

constipate? I feel like an enzyme is a good next thing to do but we are also on

miralax to help the constipation but even w/ that a very small amount of enzyme

is constipating. Thanks for any thoughts. We have only been doing the nystatin

for about 6 weeks and are in die off. regression of behaviors and anxiety

primarily.

Here are some constipation ideas

Miralax can cause problems, so best to determine why he is

constipated, and move to something else as soon as you can

My son was on Miralax for a while. We have had just as good of results on

Magnesium. He takes 300 mg in the morning with breakfast. We use Natural

Calm and just mix it with a little water and then add it to juice, You can

also give it to them at bed time and it helps some people sleep. He has

been constipation free since we started using it. I would start at 150 and

work your way up to 300 by watching what it does to him. One day his

constipating was so bad because I skipped it for a few days that I gave him

an extra dose and he was cleaned out by that afternoon .

I can't decide if they're constipating or if they slow motility in our

house but recently I've added Reuteri probiotic and it seems to move

everyone along. It's not expensive $8.

We also routinely use magnesium either Oxypowder for the most

contipated inclined of my kids or Mag. Glycinate for the others and

magnesium is needed to support other supplements like Calcium.

Good luck.

The only thing that helps constipation here are Epsom salt baths, heavy

probiotics, and in extreme cases (as in hasn't gone in a day and a half) we do

the Vit. C ascorbic powder with a palm source. We start with half teaspoon mixed

in juice and keep dosing until there is a bowel movement. We've never had to go

beyond a couple of doses. We keep daily dosing until there are consistent daily

bowel movements, so we have gone a 3-4 day cycle of needing the powder Vit. C to

prompt bowel movements before everything evens out and gets back to normal. I

try to stick to their normal body rhythm, so for my son, that would mean if he

hasn't had a bowel movement by 3pm and he needed Vit. C the day before, he's

getting it again, until he has a bowel movement. The latest it's ever gone is

needing it still on the fourth day. I'd start with a low dose, maybe 1/4 tsp.

because the Vit. C will eventually kick in, and you want to prompt a normal

bowel movement, not explosive painful bowel movements. You can always increase

the dose by a 1/4 tsp. at a time. A couple of quick tips, combined with Epsom

salt baths immediately following the Vit. C dosing, soak the child for 15 min.

in warm water bath with a tablespoon Epsom salts, and it's possible the child

won't be able to finish the bath without needing a potty break.
