Re: To - light colored stools & calcium

[Guest guest]

-

Ive also noticed that my daughter has had very light stools, coupled

with constipation and blood in her stool. This started not too long

ago when we increased her mineral content - massively - prior to

chelation. Did your child have any signs of constipation along with

light stools? What levels of calcium were you doing, both before and

after?

Thanks!

Hi ,

No constipation at first. I am facing constipation right now after

years of loose/mushy stools!

500mg per day is fine, 1000mg gives him light colored stools. It

slightly varies depending on the type of calcium (I tried different

brands and different types).

If you have constipation and blood, I do not think it is related to

calcium.

Thansk for your reply . also struggled with diarrhea

for a long time so it is so odd that she is constipated now. We had

her on 600 mg clacium, but we fofgot to include the contribution from

her rice milk - thats another 600 mg minimum. We were clearly giving

her more than 1200 mg by mistake. We took her off the 600 mg

supplement wednesday night as a precaution. Quite frankly, it was

too high. We'll see if anything improves.

- you were right!!! It was the calcium! Today, she had her

first stool since the light stool on wednesday - perfect color &

form. And, it hasn't been the right color in a while now, which

coincides with the time we put her on the increased levels of

calcium. The chnage was just too dramatic to be anything else since

we only took calcium out of her diet this week. I aslo noticed this

in my younger daughter and the same thing occured yesterday, perfect

color after removing calcium for a few days. Your insight is saving

me a lot of worry, and probably many blood tests for my daughters.

Thank you!
