Re: constipation on supplements!

Personally, the first thing I would try is Brazil nuts. Just 3 has your

daily requirements of Selenium. They are rich in protein and

monounsaturated fats. They are also good for Thyroid health, and of

course, is a simple and effective remedy against constipation.

You could also try chocolate. Dark Chocolate actually has very high

concentrations of antioxidants and is a diuretic - but is weaker than laxatives,

so easier to use to just tone it done. There are companies that make all natural

Dark Chocolate with no sugar added, if you are concerned about junk food in the

diet. A very small amount should help in loosening the stools while providing

antioxidants. But AVOID anything containing Milk in the Chocolate. The opioid

peptides can make it worse and in that form the antioxidant content is weak.

Allot of people think lack of Fiber can cause constipation but if you will

notice, eating lots of fruits that are poor in Fiber won't really cause it.

umm...  This article here is a good read through:

Ok, we took a break from supplements while doing NAET this summer and just

started back up with school starting. Back on just a few and constipation

issues. I'm doing all Kirkman Labs hypoallergenic, he's a nt boy, age 8 with

severe food allergies. Doing VIT E 100 IU, Vit c 250 mg, d-Biotin 1000 mcg, D-3

1000 iu and 100 mg of milk thistle. Added 1000 mg mag Fri, still no luck.

If I pull everything, he'll be fine. We've not had luck with probiotics and

we've stopped digestive enzymes, or actually just not added them back in yet.

Any ideas guys? I'd appreciate it!

I think I'll start over, with just the Vit C since he does have a cold right

now. Add another in a couple weeks. He is allergic to soy, so maybe the Vit E

is giving him issues.

If he had a huge yeast issue, his stools would be mushy, soft, right? 1000 mcg

biotin is nothing....

If you go for Orange Juice try " not from concentrate " with a high degree of

Pulp. In addition to tasting better (well, I think so) it is more effective at

stimulating proper digestion. Try drinking some Orange Juice when you take your

supplements and that will go in with the same stools that are produced during

those supplements.

" Biotin requires magnesium for proper

absorption, so can cause constipation and muscle cramps unless given with

magnesium. "

> If he had a huge yeast issue, his stools would be mushy, soft, right?

Not necessarily. Constipation may be a sign of yeasts for some children.

Much higher doses of biotin may be used for yeast control, and again, they

require lots of magnesium.

This probably isn't an issue for your son, but mine has a phobia about school

toilets and will " hold it in " all day if possible, which contributes to

constipation. We try to allow extra time in the morning for him to do his

business at home.

Yeast seems to cause constipation at my house.

Vitamin C and D increased yeast here, which was constipating. Biotin requires

magnesium, keep the 1000mg for a few days and see if that helps. Maybe add some

taurine.

> If he had a huge yeast issue, his stools would be mushy, soft, right?

At my house, either fluffy or constipation for yeast.

>>1000 mcg biotin is nothing....

If he is severely deficient in biotin, it will pull a lot of magnesium, even at

lower doses.

Thanks for your comments. The kid is peanut/nut free. We avoid " almost " all

processed foods, there are little to none he can eat. Allergic to milk, soy,

wheat, gluten, oats, peanuts, peas, eggs, bananas, apples, cranberry,

strawberry. NAET hasn't helped. We have to be really careful with fruits.

Trying to had some things back in and usually we get diarrhea from that.

He has no issues at all, all summer until supplements started when school

started!

The only chocolate he gets is Enjoy life.

Tammy, knowing how our time is at a premium already, might I suggest reading

through " Enzymes for Autism " , or " Enzymes: Go With Your Gut " by DeFelice

if you haven't already. Website is free, enzymestuff.com.

The long list of food allergies sounds like enzymes might aid in repairing a

leaky gut and alleviating some symptoms (unless we're talking about

anaphylaxis)....let's hope.

Make sure your vit E is soy-free. Most is soy derived. Constipation here means

low mag.

My son couldn't tolerate any form of magnesium or other supplements like

Oxy-powder for constipation. After years of agonizing trouble, we came across

Gilham's Magnesium calm.. and he never had a constipation issue after

that. Also we give 5-6 gms of buffered Vit C in divided doses everyday.
