Constipation - Help Info Needed

[Guest guest]

I read the constipation knowledge base. I am going to try the intro

diet. Also, my child was taking a med that had a milk additive

that I did not know it was in there. I think I need to start at

square one again. Has anyone found a prune nectar or prune juice

that is legal? I have Sunsweet Not from concentrate Prune Juice in

my frig. I called the company and they said nothing has been

added. I would like to try the stewed prunes but I am not sure

where to buy them.

Thanks.

Lynn,

The Sunsweet prune juice is fine. You just need to boil it down

to half its original volume. 1 Quart juice into 1 pint nectar.

To make stewed prunes, you just need to buy prunes and

simmer them in water.

Lynn,

At our grocery stores, the prunes in the same section as the

raisins. I just buy ones with no additives.

Here is a stewed prune recipe:

Place as many prunes as you wish into a saucepan and add

enough water to just cover.  Simmer on medium-low heat until

they plump.

My son was chronically constipated and though the prescription

medication that the pediatrician gave him did work, I got to the

point (because of researching about his little brother's austism)

that I wanted to get him off of ALL his meds (eczema, constipation,

sever asthma). He was only three years old and the pediatrician

wanted to start him on his fourth prescription. That is when I

started researching. What I found was that constipated kids are

really low in magnesium and I found a magnesium product called

Natural Calm made by Natural Vitality. It works like a charm. I

just put it in his juice and adjust the dosage according to how

loose his stools are (or are not). At first he needed quite a bit

but now he is down to just needing a maintenance dose. This product

has only magnesium citrate and not other ingredients. It has no

starch, sugar, yeast, gluten, coloring or preservatives. I think

the pharmecutical drugs that he was taking just added to his overall

magnesium depletion. He is now on a pretty large regime of

supplements but has NO eczema, constipation or asthma at all

anymore. He is now 4 1/2.
