SCD Legal Fiber Supplement

[Guest guest]

I am fairly new to this site. My son is a 6 year old autistic boy

who is extremely constipated after recently starting the SCD diet. I

think this diet will be great if I can find a legal fiber supplement

with soluble and insoluber fiber.

He is a very picky eater and the only way that I can get him to eat

vegetables is sneak them into his meatballs, meatloaf, etc. He does

eat fresh fruits, but evidently not enough to have a regular bowel

movement.

I was wondering if any one has heard of Fuit-Eze. It is a 100% fruit

blend fiber supplement, containing dates, prunes, and raisins. It

contains no sodium, no cholestorol, no added sugar, and no

preservatives or chemical additives.

1-888-Regular

Would this be a legal supplement? If not, could you please suggest

one.

Thanks,

Ritz

There isn't enough information on the website to determine if legal

or not. It doesn't say what kind of dates (California or other), or

raisins, it doesn't let you know about secondary ingredients. For

example: some raisins have canola oil or other unlisted ingredients.

It says prune juice on the detail list but not the first one. It

doesn't say what kind of prune juice and if there is anything

added. Some prune juices have natural lemon flavour or other things

addedn etc..

Have you tried the SCD constipation protocol? If not you can read

about it at

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/a_to_f.htm

under 1. " Constipation " and 2. " Constipation - continued "

The 2nd link " Constipation - continued " talks about how uncooked

fruit and veggies and their peels can contribute to constipation.

Basically if the body can not digest something it goes down the

digestive tract and will be used by the harmful microbes you are

trying to starve. Cooked fruit and veggies still have fiber but

they have components that will feed the body while starving the

nasties.
