Steph,

How old/big is Tom? I gave (almost 2.5 years old) 1 capsule in the pm and almost an hour later he had the biggest poo he'd ever had...and it just kept coming, he was still pooing in the morning! He didn't seem the least bit bothered by it either, in fact the constipation was much worse for him than the oxypowder. I backed off for a day with 1/2 capsule then back to 1 capsule and that's still keeping the stools loose but not excessively so.

I'm just making sure he is drinking loads of water while his stools are loose-ish. I think it varies from person to person how much is the right dose.

Hey, goooo Tom on the potato head words!!! Well done.

Take care,

Darla

Hi Steph

Why are you using oxypowder, is he backed up again? Yes it can work fast but I would say unlikely to have cleared him out if our kids bowels are what I think they are, OK I know that makes no sense so sahll elaborate...

If you are just introducing as a maintenenace thing then yes likely that one cap is doing it stuff. If he has been more constipated and you are wanting him cleared out good and proper, would be very surprised if thats what you are seeing here...

Its more likely, in my very humble opinion, to be overflow as we all know a sign of constipation which manifests itself as diarrhoea in an attempt to bypass a blockage (partial blockage rather).

If you can, increase and hold for a few days at a higher dosage if the latter case... Another thing, this product is best at night to allow it to work thru the gut, given on an empty stomach so it just has that time to act. A word of warning I found first time we used this it was a few weeks for for things to settle down again, but then her bowels are rarely well settled so maybe thats not very representative. And yup the explosions with it, crikey sight to behold.

I also upped probiotics whilst using cos it must surely wipe everything out in its wake..

HTH Hon, and good luck...

Can I ask about supps while using Oxypowder, are they just poohed straight out, if it's as strong and fast acting as everyone says?

Also how important are fluids?

Well not sure anout supplements and their absorption but they probably dont get absorbed that effectively with all that pooh in there anyway! I usually give oxypowder last thing at night and also we dont usually have Oxypowder squirting out that fast anyway... I also try to seperate all the supps (well the groups I give) by at least half an hour.

Beckys been off last of supps since her illness a few weeks ago and then due to Dr K visit, its so relaxing not leaping around with supplements all day long... still slowly getting back into them again. Interesting to stop tho' never really done that too much over the past too many years.

PS and yes drinking lots is really important too.

[Guest guest]

He's 8 (wow, how did that happen?) but is a light weight. Just over

42 lbs. He's now had four huge eruptions today. Think I'll go with

one cap tomorrow and see what transpires.

He was cleared out (well we thought he was) in July and has

obbiously built up a lot since. You can't take your eyes of it for a

moment, that gut.

He's been behaving like a monster at school so we spoke to Dr Usman

and she said probably gut pain again.

There's lots and lots of it (sorry, but you if anyone knows where

I'm coming from on this one). I'm sure he's not cleared but think

will do one tomorrow and reassess. It's half term so have more

flexibility than usual on things. 4 exploding nappies in one day -

but it's certainly made him much jollier and more interactive. If

his nappy was any more explosive than nappy one he'd be actually

hovering above the ground on a fountain. You'd believe a boy it

could fly. I was secretly pleased we'd just done one cap! Anyway,

good stuff! Just need to keep going this week and clear the major

stuff. I wish we could do another x ray but no chance of that on the

NHS again and I know the radiation builds up from stomach. Hey ho -

lucky he's over the smearing thing...

Steph x

PS he's also clearly been reading my posts about alcohol and safe

limits posted elsewhere as I was cooking this evening and kept

thinking " wow, I'm getting through this red wine " . THen discovered

giggling boy with tell tale red wine upward moustache. He is a

fiend. Didn't finish it either time, just took a big long glug.

Let's hope he's discovered a cure for impaction - The Noble Grape.

do you mean it works better on an empty stomach as it has more time

and isn't pushed along by food etc? I see it recommends taking with

water and fresh lemon to increase stomach acidity. My knowledge of

human biology is still a bit woeful. Ask me anything you like about

photosynthesis however.

We can see fairly clearly when supplements are not being absorbed as

we start to see 's epilepsy absences re appear. For us we have

no problems with Oxy-powder unless we get to the watery stage. We

have seen this when we increase to a 'clearout' dose. On 1 we

have 'cake mix' and no absences.

,

Does this mean you never get to clearout, or does it just take

longer?

I found the oxypowder I'd tidied away in a cupboard and will start H

on it after we're back from the osteopath tomorrow,

Margaret

PS sometimes something happens that's very encouraging. H had a high

fever yesterday and today was with his father for a few hours. On

his return, he usually likes to do some stimming and/or watch a DVD.

Tonight I offered the YV and he said " Want to go to bed " and took

himself upstairs. Now a lot of children who don't have autism have

trouble recognising when they're tired and their behaviour can be

all over the place when this happens. I'm so pleased he's

sufficiently at home in his body to be able to know that he needed

sleep AND to be able to say so is really great!

Margaret,

Yes we have done a clear out twice, The first time we went up

gradually to find a good dose. This took about 7 days and we saw the

absences gradually getting worse. The second time we knew his dose so

just did that for 2 days and increased supplements. We seem to be

getting quite an amount just on the maintenance dose, so this is good

and hopefully we won't need another clear out.

Wow, I loved your PS bit about knowing he was tired. We have seen

some really nice things .... (Husband) casually picked up

's drum sticks and had a play , walked over and snatched

them off him and had a go himself ! In the past it would have been

pushing him to have a go , a half hearted attempt with one stick and

missing the drum circle. It all looked so normal he used 2 sticks

correcly , played a nice beat then turned to a table full of junk and

played on some tins and a plastic policeman`s helmet !
