Re: What can I give to make my son regular?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We use Gillhams Calm (magnesium) religiously. Also, it may not be a

problem of the food not going through him, but his muscles have atrophied and

cannot normally push through the intestine. Our DAN! showed us this and it was

the case for my son.

When he says it hurts, he asks for Pedialax suppositories(glycerin) that are

from Target. They work in about 10-15 seconds, and he is in such a better mood

after!!!!He accepted it readily after not being able to go for 6 days....poor

kids!

Hope this helps,

Susi

P.S. I like the verse, I am trying to remember that on the bad days....

Magnesium works great for my son, helps him to calm down too.

Hi

What brand/type of magnesium do you give your son? My son just turned 5 and is

about 45 pounds...and I would love to regulate him too.

Thanks.

I have ideas here

The most common things that help, are magnesium, vitamin C, and yeast control.

Currently I'm giving my son Source Naturals Magnesium chelate tablets twice a

day. It has 47mg calcium and 100mg magnesium per tablet.

Lately if I don't give it to him twice a day he has problems, but I think it's

also due to him holding it in during school - not good!

Also, try to get more fiber in him. Beans & peas are a great source, there's a

recipe on the net for black bean brownies which is good but if you're using

canned beans make sure it doesn't have onions in it!

If your child doesn't like beans puree them and add them to sauces, muffins etc.

they'll never know

We used glycerin suppositories to get my son cleaned out. First couple of uses

were a little traumatic, but after that when he was really backed up he would

ask for one, knowing it would hurt less.

We tried mineral oil, didn't do a thing. We cut back on dairy, although now you

can get yogurt with fiber in it, so we use that. No bananas, either, they are

binding. Helpful foods included pears, apples with the skin, dried apricots,

also check products marked " low carb " they are often loaded with fiber. Make

sure he gets a lot of exercise, too; some fresh fruit, lots of fluids and a long

walk at the zoo usually worked like a charm to get things moving if he skipped a

day.

Ultimately, we went to Miralax which worked like a charm to get him cleaned out

and regular. I think we used it for about 6 months to get him regular and then

stopped. That cleared up the constipation and helped us while we got him potty

trained for BMs, too.

I'm not sure what age your son is, but if he is out of diapers, 10-20 minutes

after a meal is a good time for potty sit. We bought a Game Boy which he was

only allowed to use on the potty, which was marvelously distracting and helped

him to relax and go. He's 7 now, and is still on a schedule where he goes right

after dinner every night.

Hope this helps.

Try JuicePlus veggie....or if you don¹t want to deal with the salespeople

(you can buy directly from the website but the salespeople will bother you),

you can buy the same type of thing at Whole Foods or like store where they

have the green veggies freeze-dried in a capsule. Put 1/2 capsule into your

child¹s juice or in applesauce if he/she will take that....OTHERWISE give

sprinkles during the day in various foods if they don¹t accept it because of

the taste. The fiber from those things really helped my kid eliminate and

got him back on track. Hope this helps.

Oxypowder is really good stuff, it works well and is gentle. Yes you can open

the capsules and mix with a little water and juice.

You can buy from Mandi's online store - Mandimart

You may need to help clean out that retained stool, prior to helping with

regularity. Epsom salt baths help flush things out by drawing water into the

colon. Avocado works like magic for my son when he is constipated. Others find

OxyPowder helps break up a blockage.

Once you have cleared out the old stool, you can help with regularity by

providing the essential enzymes. My son will begin having bowel issues if I miss

one snack. Make sure you have the right enzyme for the right type of food. It

makes all the difference in the world.

US:

http://www.oxypowder.com/

Canada:

http://www.oxyhealthcanada.com/

(different formula than US version, as Germanium-132 is not legal in Canada)

FYI, OxyPowder is designed for adults, so I inquired about dosing information

for children. Here is the response from OxyPowder:

" As always when dealing with Children we always recommend you speaking to their

Health Care Professional when adding new supplementation to their regimen. If

you feel that Oxy-Powder would be helpful for your child we would follow the

guidelines as stated. We would recommend that they are at a minimum weight of

50lbs+.

For a Cleansing Dosage start with ½ or 1 Capsule emptied into an 8oz. glass of

water and taken on an empty stomach. Then wait to see how their body reacts to

the low dosage. You may find it beneficial to start on a Friday night so that

you can monitor their progress. When increasing his/her dosage, please increase

slowly by ½ or 1 capsule, until you find a dosage that allows the relief they

are looking for. Do not allow children to do a 7 day Cleansing Process. You can

however allow them to take the maintenance dose every other day until you are

familiar with their reaction to Oxy-Powder. Please note that the Oxy-Powder will

give children a very liquid, watery and gaseous stool. This is not diarrhea but

the fecal compaction oxidizing into a liquid and gaseous form. "
