Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Constipation is a big issue for us. I'm wondering if yeast flare-ups can contribute to constipation? I am leery of giving anything that could cause constipation to my son, since it is such a problem to begin with! We DO give additional magnesium and vitamin C, and it will work for awhile, then all of a sudden will seem to stop working. I'm wondering, if I give him AC, how often should I do so? Should it be part of the regular regimen of supplements I give? We are currently detoxing with Authia cream, and having excellent results, (aside from the yeast/constipation). Please advise as to the best use of AC in this situation. Thanks so much . . . ~Diane Mom to Aaren, age 3, ASD **Faith is not believing that God can.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Diane.. one of the main things that yeast can do in some kids is cause constipation. The one and only time Slater was constipated it was yeast. Also, if this is happening, you might try upping your naturals for gut bugs and probiotics also. We use Uva Ursi and that would be when I'd go to full dose on it, be sure I've cut out all sugars and up the probiotic along with increasing magnesium and vitamin c if your kiddo can tolerate those. We had to take a LOT of magnesium to get things moving when this happened from what I recall and used the citrate or oxide form which are known to work well. I'm sure other forms do also but that is what we used. I would not use activated charcoal all the time but just my .02. It grabs absolutely everything and we were always told to use it for " special events " like tantrums that are persistent and times when we felt there was die off or something else going on. I've actually taken it for just plain stomach upset as well and it worked well for that. I'd think you'd really have to be careful to use it all the time that you did not deplete the supplements you know are so critical. It HAS to be given away from other supplements etc by an hour or two and that is hard to do with our kids I feel. I'd just use it for those occasions when there are big problems. Ann or Dr. JM or someone else can correct me if I'm wrong on this but that is what we did. Best of luck! > Constipation is a big issue for us.
