Help - constipation with diarrhea

January 5, 2010

Hi Listmates,

My son use to have at least 1 BM everyday whilst he was on prescriptive

antifungals (diflucan or nizoral) though the consistency is not always good

(sometimes mushy and quite yellow).

I stopped the antifungal after being on them for 5.5 months (found out through

stool analysis that his gut was inflammed) and ever since his BM has not been

regular and his tummy is bloated. Shortly after I stopped the medicine, his

stool turned pasty like also. I try to help him pass out stool by increasing

his magnesium citrate and introducing 's aloe vera juice. That helped

with having a BM almost everyday but the stool was never formed, usually pasty

and at best was very soft and mushy.

I also started giving him enzymes with meals and treat yeast with mucostop and

MCT oil. Nevertheless, things just gotten worse as he was having more incidence

of runny stool followed by no stool the next day.

His tummy was very big and hard on days when he cannot pooh and I was worried

about impaction. Tried oxypowder for 3 days (on top of his aloe vera and

magnesicum citrate at reduced dose) and that gave him BM everyday but very

runny.

I stopped the oxypowder and resorted back to aloe vera juice and magneisum

citrate. For the past week, he could only go every other day; and when he goes,

he passes out initially liquid BM followed by a massive volume of very soft

stool. His tummy shrinks a little in size afterwards but is still very rounded

and appears bloated. I am also worried that the explosive liquid stool scared

him off and he may be hold back his BM.

I am really stuck and depressed. Can anyone give me suggestions on how to make

him regular again. Looks like I have messed up his gut big time......

Many thanks
