Constipation

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

My daughter, , has been on the Enzymes since last August. We still

have problems with constipation however. I really was hoping that the

enzymes would help correct this problem. Does anyone else have this type of

problem with their child?

Thanks,

[Guest guest]

Well, my kids have constipation issues and I just ordered magnesium

capsules and magnesium citrate powder from kirkman labs. I read that

magnesium can make the stool loose. So I am hoping...

If it works, I'll try to let you know/post on the board. My dd is so

constipated (one and ahalf years old) that she rarely has a bm on her

own -- I have to use a babylax suppository on her every other

day/third day. Otherwise, they get huge and dried out. The only

times she was going on her own (since her 7 month shots!!! grrr!)

have been when I took her for acupuncture!!! Then she would come

home and have a bm within an hour of acupuncture. But I can't keep

going there all the time... I've got to find something else that will

work. So I'm hoping the magnesium will work. I do not want her on

any prescription meds like her brother had been on.

Hello,

My daughter too has constipation and enzymes

with other things did resolve it.

However, I tried several

varieties before I found what worked--and

this seems to be HN-Zyme--paired with

Peptizdayze. Additional things seemed

to apply to my daughter. Generally her

dose is at least 2 HN-Zymes or a Hn-Zyme

plus a Peptidayze. If the meal is heavy

on the protein--I may go up to 2 Hn-Zymes

plus one Peptizdayze.

Magnesium is a great start! Here are some

item other ideas.

1) She's GFCF--in following the GFCF diet,

initially I forgot about the fiber issue and

she wasn't getting enough. She's still GFCF--

but now I just make sure she's getting fiber.

2) On probiotics--these can be very constipating

for some. Make sure to start slowly with the

probiotics. This is the other time where I add

slightly more than 2 enzymes per meal.

3) EFAs--essential fatty acids this is important

to speeding stool transmit time.

4) Vitamin C: Another basic and important to

detoxification.

5) Another basic is Calcium. Calcium helps activate

some enzymes--including Lipase.

Hope this helps.

Dear ,

What EFA are you using with your daughter?

Thanks,

I'm using the Omega Brites EFAs. I've heard that

many are also happy with Nordic Naturals.

The phone number to order Omega Brites is:

www.OmegaBrite.com My daughter's pediatrician--

who has gone to DAN conferences recommended it because

it is a balanced EFA. It is a bit on the pricy side

though.

[Guest guest]

Dear ,

My daughter's OT had also recommended this brand as she saw great

results from the use of it in her other clients. I checked into the website

myself not too long ago and saw the price. My daughter had problems with

Eflax and evening primrose and DHA in the past so I've been reluctant to try

EFA's again. But I have started lookinh into safe brands. Thanks.

" Usually " enzymes promote loose stools, although maybe constipation

too. The idea of NOT being constipated with enzymes applies to No-

Fenol only because it breaks down the hard to digest fibers that

normally go into making waste. But I suppose if your digestion was so

pitiful to begin with that any enzyme would help produce less waste,

up to a certain point. The No-Fenol enzymes only fits this because

this is the strategy used in animal science and the specific

carbohydrate diet (in humans, LOL).

My younger son still tended to be constipated with Pep and Zyme - so

I gave more magnesium. With the addition of No-Fenol, this is

disappearing.

Many things could probably lead to constipation. Yeast can contribute

to constipation. Dr. Semon's presentation said that yeast produce

toxins which slow things down, including the brain and gut. Is yeast

an issue?

My daughter was severely constipated before HBOT, I find the children that

we treat usually resolve constipation problems during their therapy. God

bless you and I pray for a complete recovery for your child.

Mother to Susie, Dee and , Treated in 94, Recovered.

If anyone's interested , what I do for 's constipation is give him

juice form a juicer. I always give him 2 carrots and an apple a day for

his lungs, Recently, I've started giving him 3-4 ounces of cabbage juice

daily because I thought he was getting an ulcer. It had really good

effects! I no longer have to give him dulcolax suppositories and he can

urinate on his own. I really notice the difference when he doesn't get

it. I just don't know how much is too much, and am trying to find out.

Hope this helps!

Mangoes work for my daughter. Also, I give her essential fatty acids in the

form of fish oil (proefa is the brand I use) which help naturally to slide

everything out as well as helping with the brain. Carolyn aigjr@...

Carla, you'll probably get lots of responses on this one! There have been

lots of discussions on constipation on this message board. You might want to

check the archives.

I think different things work for different kids. For my son, going casein

free and gluten free and soy free helped a lot. Also, I believe my son had

lots of yeast overgrowth. I would suspect that if your son poops that

infrequently, he probably has yeast overgrowth as well, and keeping my son's

yeast under control has probably been another very important factor in

controlling constipation. Hand in hand with yeast control (for my son) is

giving probiotics. He can only tolerate one type that I've found (ProCulture

Gold), so I give him lots of that. Digestive enzymes also help really big

time.

My son was put on Miralax for 14 days. On day 10, I noticed him starting to

blink incessantly. I asked the dr if Miralax could be the cause, and of

course he said absolutely not. But I could think of no other reason, stopped

the Miralax, and the blinking stopped. So my son was put on Lactulose, and

then promptly went 9 days without going, far and away a record. I think I've

heard that lactulose isn't casein-free, but back then, I didn't know enough

to ask. Also, I was told to push fruits and bran. Well, I did and he seemed

to get worse. In retrospect, fruits feed yeast and bran has gluten, so of

course those both made him get worse.

The time came when I decided to stop all drugs and just use digestive

enzymes, treat yeast, go gfcfsf and push probiotics. Since doing that, my son

has improved 100%, though it took a bit of time.

I think the constipation is caused by yeast. My 3 y/o nephew has had great

success with NAG (N-Acetylglucosamine). Also, magnesium may help loosen things.

I never tried oats, only wheat. And now I have " contaminating "

Magnesium helps tremendously with my son. I use a tablespoon of a

Carla, for Ethan, we used almost daily external stimulant to keep his

bowels moving for a period of time (you can use either a small enema

or a babylax), then using " products " helped, such a magnesium

citrate, Benefiber, Perfect Stool Formula... but honestly, what has

helped the most is chelating. Four rounds into chelation and he is

going on his own, daily, like a pro! I *wish* I was as regular as he

is now! Getting those metals out sure seems to have helped him.

Carla:

Has your GI doctor suggested a Colonoscopy/Endoscopy. A lot of our kids are

presenting with what is called Autistic Colitis. My son never had the

diarrhea that a lot of other kids have. He would run anywhere from

constipated to pasty bm's, and would go anywhere from no bm's a day to 4, 5

or 6 a day. A symptom of Colitis is chronic Constipation. You have to make

sure you find a GI who knows what he is doing. A lot of these Dr's don't

know what to look for. My son had an episode of bowel inflammation last

March was in the Hospital with bloody diarrhea and the GI in the Hospital

could not even tell us what was going on. My son's platelets went up to 1.2

million (usually a sign of some type of inflammatory process in the body).

I don't know where you live, but we see Dr. Arthur Krigsman in Woodbury, New

York.

My son's biopsies came back that he had Colitis, he's been on

anti-inflammatory medication for about a month. Now, he is going normally,

once, sometimes twice a day (and on the Potty!). He was never able to do

this before.

Hi

My son is going into Lenox Hill Hospital next Tues. to have a colonoscopy

done by Dr. Krigsman. I've read a lot of good things about the doctor on

the 'net, esp. on chelating kids, but I'm still terrified. I keep thinking

that even though we've put this off for 2 years now, maybe if we just

waited long enough his bowels would get better on their own. We've seen a

lot of improvement this fall which I think may be due to chelation and

enzymes, but he's still having stomach problems, even with gf/cf/sf diet,

low sugar and phenols, enzymes, GSE, etc., etc. We've kept him out of

kindergarten because of his not being able to use the potty and we are

hoping that next fall he'll be able to be in first grade.

Maybe on the right medication we can get on with the chelation and put all

this behind us.

Every the optimist,

Avril, mom to Gerry (2\19\97)

Hi Avril:

You will not be disappointed with Dr. Krigsman. He is really the best!

Just make sure your prep is really good, and follow all of Dr. Krigsman's

instructions. The prep day was easier than we anticipated. I was surprised

that my son was happy and content just having clear fluids and homemade

Jell-O all day, I thought for sure he would be asking to eat everything

under the sun, but no. The only hard part of the day was getting him to

take the Phospho-Soda, Fleet makes a Ginger-lemon flavor (which helps mask

the taste a bit since it tastes kind of bad, but we did get him to take the

whole thing). My Husband and I were very impressed with the Hospital,

everything just ran so smoothly. Absolutely no complaints. My son did have

a bad reaction to the anesthesia (vomiting on the way home and that

afternoon, but was fine the following day). It was the first time he ever

had a reaction to anesthesia (had anesthesia on 3 previous occasions with no

reaction). The Anesthesiologist will speak to you before hand, and you can

ask her what to expect. All in all I'm very glad we made the decision to

have our son scoped. From what we are seeing, he is making great

improvements already (starting to Potty train, he is getting very good

reports at school, having great ABA sessions, more spontaneous language, his

therapists are reporting that he's been in a very good mood too).

We haven't started Chelation yet, because I wanted to work on his GI and

high platelet problems first, but I'm sure that will be the next thing for

us. Please feel free to e-mail me if you have any other questions, my

e-mail is: jcperry@...

Take care, and good luck next Tuesday!

Hi Catharine,

Thanks for the information. Could you tell me are there any needles

involved. I went to a website that talked about colonoscopies for kids and

Emla cream was recommended. I wasn't sure if the anathesia was gass or by

needle. Do you know? I have the cream but it needs to be put on an hour

before.

Thank goodness this day is almost over. Gerry asked for food dozens of

times but refused to eat anything that was allowed. There were no melt

downs, but a bit of a struggle over the second dose of phosphosoda.

Thank so much for your advice,

Avril

For some kids, juice can be constipating, believe it or not.

Usually, docs want you to give juice but in his case, I would

consider cutting him off of all juice for a while. I have a friend

whose dd gets terribly backed up the moment she has juice. Take her

off juice and she goes just fine on her own. What is it offending?

Perhaps yeast? I don't know. But it could be something to try...

I would try that first, and also add in some gut healing things--

probio's, l glutamine, biotin, colostrum, etc.

We have also used Perfect Stool Formula from www.ojibwatea.com You

can try that, too.

The blood is a sign that his stools are getting way too big. You

need to really try several things to help him. Also try adding in

magnesium citrate and vitamin C and perhaps even Benefiber, which is

available over the counter. My suggestion is to do several things

because you never really know which one is going to help the most,

and you really need to get things soft and moving.

Chelation has really helped Ethan with his constipation. He goes

like a pro now. But we also do these other things that I have

mentioned, too.

Good luck and stick with it-- it takes a long time to resolve.

Jennie;

I am fairly new here but feel I may be able to add some helpful advice

because of our experience.

(our son) also has a constipation problem. He gets plugs with soft

stool after the plugs. Many times he skips for a day or two before he poops.

Then the strain is so great that there is blood in the stool.

This is bad for many reasons; One is because once the stool backs up and

remains in the system, the stress can stretch the colon. Also the lack of

elimination means that the toxins are staying in his body. Many times they

will leak out of the intestines and go back into the blood stream this is

not something you want.

What to do:

Drinks lots of water

No more apple juice, this creates constipation.

Have him drink prune juice or pear juice.

Have him eat wheat toast. There is glutton free wheat bread.

Lots of water.

Less rice if it is in his diet.

More water.

If this still does not work, try giving him a bath in Epson salts for one

day. It should help that night or the next day.

Hopefully these things will work. They have worked for us.

Good advice - another thing to consider is that there may be an enzymatic

deficiency that may cause larger stool volume, further causing stress to the

colon, rectum, etc. A good supplement to try in this case is Beta-TCP which

is primarily a beet extract, which is added to food to assist in digestion.

Unfortunately, " autistic gut " syndrome can be accompanied by digestive

enzyme deficiencies.

God Bless!

Steve,

some others dealing with this ate 1 kiwi after each meal for a little

bit and it helped. Beware. Another tried it and it triggered sinus

problems.
