Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 large doses of vitamin c is the only thing that help our cronic constipation, but im told that impaction can only be help by a dr.  ________________________________ From: Peggy <diamond12345@...> Sent: Wed, February 24, 2010 10:31:02 AM Subject: [ ] Senekot  I used senekot on some severe constipation that keeps happening to my child. LOts came out, but there are still some hard lumps in her belly that hurt her. I think there stuck and that is why she keeps getting constipated over and over. Would I use a stool softener to get them out or something that works by osmosis? Can't use mag. citrate, it makes her violent, and she won't let me get near her with an enema? I have no idea how to get these out of her. Any advice would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Can you get a couple of tablespoons of coconut oil in her? What do probiotics do to her gut? I give an extra probiotic and my kids bowels loosen right now.. but if you are dealing with a full on impaction I do think enemas/doctors might be in order. vitamin C is another good idea.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 If this is as bad as it sounds, I would take her to an MD to make the enema and make sure she doesn't have an obstruction doing an enema at home is not a good idea if she does.....

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 our son is chronic constipated and our homeopath works on but said the main thing was to keep him going (vitamin c) however he did say that if we thought he was impacted to take him to a specialist. er doc are looking for a quick fix (most of the time) and unless your general dr is very good they dont understand the gut issues our kids face, (like diarrhea while having an impaction). i hope her tummy gets better soon. sharon  ________________________________ From: " diamond12345@...

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Senekot seemed pretty gentle, but I know I can't use it long term.
