Guest guest Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Had the same problem with my son. Unformed and it seemed it was hard for him to pass his stool even though soft. He would not go for days. We went away and forgot our enzymes..Thought it was going to be aweful. Beautiful BM's twice a day. So we have gone back to them but to a very very small dose. Maybe too much, too long for her? 39 and Mom to three Tasha 22 ooops..new Mommy ( I'm a Grammy to Kyri 2 ) Casey-Mae 14..sweet as pie Elijah 3.. ASD and beautiful From: jjcox22 <jjcox22@...> Subject: can't get child to poop daily!!! Date: Tuesday, September 22, 2009, 11:34 PM Hi, I'm hoping I can get some help. I have been working on my daughter's gut for the past 4 years and I'm happy to say she's doing pretty well--still some days that she is off, but much more neurotypical. BUT, it's still a struggle to get her to poop daily! We are constantly adding in things in very small doses (that is all she can handle)--such as probiotics, digestive enzymes, yeast killers, parasite killers, things recommended by her DAN (carnitine, vits and minerals). She has strong reactions to all of these (die off or yeast growth, etc.) Also, the poop is never completely formed. Does this mean that we still have a ways to go to heal the gut??? ARGHHH, this is so frustrating! !!!!!!!!! ! I wonder if it's become psychological too because to keep asking a child to try to poop must get very annoying to them. THANKS!

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hi , thank you for responding. you might be right, but it seemed like the enzymes helped her go in the beginning, so I'm confused??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Same here. Dont get me wrong enzymes are great but we personally found we needed to lower the amount. I have heard they can cause bm to have more volume at times. I truly thought we were going to have problems when we forgot to take them with us. Maybe worth a try lowering the dose for her trial. We tried magnesium/c with sucess at times but he had mild discomfort after a while of that. > > Hi , > thank you for responding. you might be right, but it seemed like the enzymes helped her go in the beginning, so I'm confused??? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 try magnesium citrate. I give between 150-180mg 2X each day to my son. Works like a charm.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 We use Houston Enzymes and found the Zyme Prime, and therefore TriEnza, to be adding to my sons pooping issues. We switched to ZyCarb and it was a dramatic improvment. So I went back to taking the 3 seperate one. We still use Triezna at time for convience (school nurse at school, dinner out) but at home always use 3 seperate, AFP, No-Fenol and ZyCarb.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2009 Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 - what are you using? We found Zyme Prime to do that, but not ZyCarb. I posted to a later post about it. ________________________________ From: Largey <l.largey@...> Sent: Tuesday, September 22, 2009 7:55:39 PM Subject: Re: can't get child to poop daily!!!
