Guest guest Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Ok -- this person needs to edit this webpage -- it's way too long and rambling, but the information in it is valuable http://george-eby-research.com/html/depression-anxiety.html After you read it I'm hoping you will come to this conclusiion: There is no such thing as " funtional constipation " If you can increase the intake of whole foods you may be able to correct the mineral imbalance, but in many cases you have to supplement at first in order to 'kick start' things. I am a strong believer that most people who suffer from constipation are deficient in magnesium (and possible taurine, potassium, selenium, etc). The reason I can make this blanket statement is that a majority of Americans (80% is the commonly used %) are magnesium deficient. Now for the success story -- with magnesium, fish oil, D3, K2, and B & C vitamin blend supplementation the poops have been daily in our household for several YEARS now. Balancing PH (liverlife) was also essential. My son was on miralax from age 2yr 8mos until 3 yr 11 mos. He is now 6 1/2 yrs old. Constipation for him started with the DTaP vaccination at 8 weeks of age. Hope this helps. As Jeanie, , Jennie, Bonnie and many other experienced Mom's on this board can attest - there isn't a one size fits all, but there are some things that have worked for most of us.
