Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 Hey all-- I chelated my son again this weekend and he is constipated again... only the prune juice did not do anything for him this time!!! When I gave him 1/2 cup on Friday, he went three times (HUGE amount). I gave him another 1/4 cup yesterday and it did nothing. I gave him 1/2 cup again today and it still did nothing. He was acting great today! --he gets rashes from fiber supplements--Benefiber, cellulose powder, etc --he gets constipated when I introduce a new food --he drinks plenty of water --he grinds his teeth if I try to increase magnesium --he eats a lot of bananas so I am guessing his potassium is ok (he is eating the same foods he did months ago, pre-chelation, and he was going at least once a day) --he does not seem yeasty Has anyone ever tried Smooth Move tea? I am wondering how much to give him. I was thinking less than 1/4 cup. Do you think he might need an adjustment by a chiropractor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 I keep Smooth Move in the house at all times. It's not something you'd want to use continuously, but is the best thing to occasionally do the trick. I make a " two-bag " cup and give about half to my 95 lb. son, less than half that to his 40 lb. sister (who hardly ever needs it) mixed in juice. Some kids could take it straight, the taste is not unpleasant. The chiropractic might be a good idea, too. I have been taking both kids to a chiro/cranial sacral therapist for a couple months now, and we have noted subtle but sustained improvements on the pooping front. Other thoughts: Bananas are constipating for my kids. I'm sorry I don't remember your son's age and functioning level, but probably the best thing we did for my son when he was age 7, very high functioning, was to simply remind him to go(retained stool gets larger and harder in anyone). I think sometimes they just get too " busy " , especially as you chelate and they start feeling better!!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2003 Report Share Posted April 9, 2003 >-he eats a lot of bananas so I am guessing his potassium is ok (he is eating the same foods he did months ago, STOP the bananas, they are CONSTIPATING, and interfere with nutrient absorption and availability, and bowel activity. They are really a poor source of Potassium compared to better things. Avocados have 4 times the Potassium, are not constipating, encourage bowel activity, and don't interfere with nutrients.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 GSE constipates our son every time we tried it for yeast. I finally did some research and it seems GSE has fantastic antibiotic properties. With no bugs or not enough bugs to munch or digest them, solids in the intestine tend to stay solid. [ ] constipation again My son has battled constipation for quite a while. He's been doing really good for about three weeks and then all of a sudden it started getting firm and now they are balls and we're having to give him baby lax to go. The only change has been that I started giving milk thistle and a few times I've given him grapefruit seed extract. Can yeast die off cause constipation? Any of this might be causing it? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 After using PCA-Rx for a week, I got constipation. Dana suggested it could be yeast, so I took GSE and probiotics. I'm feeling so much better now. > > My son has battled constipation for quite a while.
