My son has been given about 2 ounces of aloe vera juice to help with

his retaining of bowel movements. We have really seen some

imoprovement. I guess he does not like the taste (I had been putting it

in juice)because now he won't touch his juice anymore. He is a very

picky eater and now i am worried that he will drop drinking juice. When

he doesn't have a good bowel movement he is very " stimmy " and hyper and

more everything. When he was drinking the aloe vera he was much calmer

and present.

How can i get him to take his supplements?

Anyone else have kids who refused?

Glyconutrients also contain aloe and don't have the strong taste that

aloe supplements have. Sea salt also helps with keeping the gut

moving and can be used to cook with so shouldn't be a taste issue. I

know folks who buy empty capsules and make their own sea salt pills

but I have never done that and it doesn't sound like it would be a

good option for your child.

Cooking with healthy oils also helps keep the gut moving. I currently

have organic coconut oil, organic butter, and organic olive oil in my

house. For a long time I only had organic coconut oil and organic

butter. As we have healed, we use less coconut oil and I recently

added olive oil. There's a chocolate cake recipe on my website made

with organic butter, organic flour, and other wholesome ingredients

and it makes us need to go to the bathroom.

Good luck with this.

Yes, it is the same with our 4 yr old son. When he doesn't poop he is

uncomfortable,

stimmy, etc.

We give him aloe vera only when he hasn't gone in a couple of days, because we

have

heard it is habit-forming. We usually do 2 doses of 1 ounce each in about 3

ounces of

apple cider. We put it over a lot of ice, which helps kill the taste. If he

refuses, we put an

ounce with a smaller amount of juice and force him to drink it, with a reward at

the end.

For regular pooping without aloe vera, we use a combination of one teaspoon of

salba/salvia, which is a very high fiber grain sort of thing, and 1 teaspoon of

magnesium/calcium powder. Neither things are very pleasant. We mix the salba

with a

little agave nectar and he chokes it down. We mix the mag/cal with a little

juice.

We used to use oxypowder - 1.5 caps in juice at night - and that sort of worked,

but not

reliably. We're taking a break from that and find the salba and magnesium combo

is

helping him be regular, and also makes his BMs darker and firmer textured, but

still soft

enough to pass.

We use " s aloe vera " It has no taste at all. Just like water. I keep it

chilled, but you

do not have to. I just googled this so you can see what it looks like. You can

check out some prices elsewhere and check your health food stores.
