Re: More Questions and Thanks

We are using the psyllium husks powder. Had to get it at a health food

store in order to find some that didn't have added fillers like

maltodextrin. I give him 1/4 tsp twice a day mixed into his drink and that

has really helped him out. It doesn't have any taste, just a thick texture.

Its also supposed to be nonhabit forming and not cause any problems. Using

MOM on a continual basis can strip out a bodies vitamins and minerals I have

read.

Increasing magnesium intake reduces constipation. We have magnesium added to Hannah's liquid calcium preparation (she is tube fed), and she has this in three daose a day, which seems better than one dose at bed time. BM's are not as explosive and painful with 3 smaller doses.

I wanted to thank everyone for their replies to my questions last week. Wyatt came home from the hospital Saturday (after 6 days) and is doing pretty well. Sorry it took so long to write, but the first couple days were crazy with me trying to get used to his new schedule and making his meals. I feel a little more confident now. He is doing pretty well on the diet, and we have seen some reduction in seizure activity. The main problem we are dealing with right now is constipation. He has always taken MOM daily for constipation, but since he has been on the diet it seems to have no effect on him. Last night he really had a tough time. Does anyone have any experience with Miralax or have any other ideas? Hope everyone had a good holiday and a Happy New Year to you all.Rona mommy to Wyatt age 3 (Infantile Spasms and keto kid for 9 days now)_________________________________________________________________MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx

Mike is on magnesium - three times a day with his calcium too - but it

hasnt done much for him if anything. I am not sure what the appropriate

dose is for him but I am pretty sure I am not giving him enough.

We are using colace right now ( I hope it will be very short term) and

it works wonderfully!

I wanted to thank everyone for their replies to my questions last

week.

Wyatt came home from the hospital Saturday (after 6 days) and is doing

pretty well. Sorry it took so long to write, but the first couple days

were

crazy with me trying to get used to his new schedule and making his

meals. I

feel a little more confident now. He is doing pretty well on the diet,

and

we have seen some reduction in seizure activity. The main problem we

are

dealing with right now is constipation. He has always taken MOM daily

for

constipation, but since he has been on the diet it seems to have no

effect

on him. Last night he really had a tough time. Does anyone have any

experience with Miralax or have any other ideas? Hope everyone

had a good

holiday and a Happy New Year to you all.
