Re: Intro Diet Solved Constipation

" I can not believe the amount of cantalope balled up in his bowel

movement.

He is constipated. I am still waiting on the magiusium citrate.

After reading one of the post about the kirkman C I made a

changed to an ester C as of yesterday. "

Lynn,

I am a bit confused. Was there actually undigested cantaloupe

in his stool?

Also, I must have missed something about the Kirkman Vit. C.

There is nothing wrong with it to my knowledge, unless they have

changed the ingredients in the last few weeks.

What does he eat now and how is it prepared?

Lynn,

I understand about the vitamin C now. You are free to use

anything you think works best. I was just making sure that the

ingredients hadn't changed in the Kirkman's. I didn't want

anyone to think it is illegal.

As for the undigested food in the stools, I would really consider

using digestive enzymes with each meal and snack. It is not

good for food to be in the stools. It means that their bodies have

not broken down the food and were therefore unable to get any

nutrition from the food.

Are you peeling and cooking all foods at this point?

Lynn,

Perhaps your son was reacting to the bromelain or papain in the

Kirkman enzyme. Some kids are sensitive to those. You might

try an enzyme that doesn't have those in it such as AFP

peptizyde.

My boys tried Creon ages ago (long before SCD) and it didn't

help them. If you saw that it helped your kids, please post the

ingredients from the label and we will try to help you figure ou

whether it is legal or not.

I'll have to look into those ingredients.

Did the doctor/pharmacist say that opening the capsules was

okay?

With a delayed release product, the capsules are designed to

prevent the contents from disolving until they reach a certain

point in the GI tract. Just curious if removing the capsules affects

the viability.
