Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Actually, I usually buy my suppliments at either Walmart or he Vitamin Shoppe. The magnesium that I have is Spring Valley and the psyllium husk capsules are Solgar. I choose them mostly for conveniece and price. > > > > Try adding a magnesium supplement, 400 mg daily.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 1. eat more fiber 2. try some enzymes like completegest -it will help break down your food so you can absorb what you need and eliminate the rest cyndi On Aug 3, 2006, at 9:40 PM, perfectlysunnyday wrote: > Try adding a magnesium supplement, 400 mg daily.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hi, Thanks for all your replies. I'm really more interested and curious about whether we all were iregular before diagnosis rather than what we can do to solve the problem now. Although I'm sure the advice will benefit others in the group. I'm just trying to see if there's a connection between us that could explain our MS. Could we have brought this on unknowingly by being full of toxins most of our lives? Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 A good question. My husband was always pretty regular as far as bowel movements. He had 5 strikes in place before getting MS. 1. A whole month of intense stress just before coming down with symptoms. 2. He had been drinking diet sodas for about 4 months prior to his symptoms. 3. He had Mono as a child. 4. He is a May baby. 5. He has a sibling with MS. Aletha Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: OT - Bowel movement question for the group > > > Hi, > > Thanks for all your replies.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hi Mark, I've been reading info on the connection between 'leaky gut' and auto-immune conditions such as MS. Your theory about toxins in our systems makes perfect sense to me! I have had this problem, too, for as long as I can remember (before MS). If the toxins are not passing through the digestive tract, but leaching into our bloodstreams, well, all hell breaks loose! I'm in the process of switching my diet to (hopefully) aleviate this issue and others. If you're interested, I plan on following the "Best Bet Diet", designed specifically for MSers. From the info I've been reading, certain dietary changes alone can improve MS symptoms for many people.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I think constipation is a normal MS symptom. It might be that our intestines just aren't moving everything along as well as they should. How low will we go? Check out Messenger’s low PC-to-Phone call rates.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 here is a good explanation of leaky gut. http://osiris.sunderland.ac.uk/autism/gut.htm there is a huge connection think between the stomach and a whole host of things and once you start healing the stomach then a lot of things will feel better. we were talking aloe on the list and someone was saying when you buy those liquid aloes there is not much in there and its better to grow your own. does it taste any better right off the plant? cyndi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I believe that is absolutely true. Natural peristalsis is very dependent on the type of movement you do. the more you move the better the little waves in the stomach go. but you guys also have difficulty absorbing things. call leaky gut call it slowed down belly muscles whatever. if you feel like you have give a name yo can call it leaky gut or inflamed bowels. I don't think it matters what its called but it should be your objective to a have a good satisfying BM everyday.i don't think its healthy to be constipated. (it certainly can't be good for you right)A friend of mine that has ms was complaining of terrible bloating and constipation. I suggested she add some more greens to her diet. Brought her some of that aloe (it was peppermint flavored so it was gross but not gross as no flavor) to heal her stomach. brought her some completegest - completeGest is a blend of vegetarian enzymes (in a vegetable capsule) that are active across a broad pH range in the digestive tract. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who had a ulcers or history of ulcers. I like it because it seems safer then other enzymes and does the trick. there is a relationship between your stomach and aches and pains and stuff.cyndiOn Aug 4, 2006, at 9:05 AM, Sir Real wrote: I think constipation is a normal MS symptom. It might be that our intestines just aren't moving everything along as well as they should.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hi, is drinking diet soda a suspected cause of MS? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I'd like to know why having Mono or being a May baby are strikes too. Eve Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: OT - Bowel movement question for the group>>> Hi,>> Thanks for all your replies.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hi Eve, Most diet products have aspartame in them. Aspartame is a huge problem. I am not an expert but as far as I know it goes thought the blood brain barrier and that can cause problems. My understanding is that it also turns to formaldehyde at a certain temperature too. Someone reported that a group of nurses in a hospital were all drinking diet soda as it was readily available to them every time they were on shift. A while on a few of them had MS. It is just a suspicion at this point. In a large study it was noted that a majority of people with MS were born in the months of April and May. The strongest correlation the study could come up with is that maybe the babies were not getting enough sunshine at certain months of their early life. So they did not get vitamin D from the sun. Another strong suggestion for those with MS has been a strong number of MS'res have had Mono. They wonder if maybe a virus was the on-set lurking in the background until other things come up (like extreme stress). Perhaps someone more knowledgeable in medicine could explain these items more efficiently that what I have done here. Kind regards Aletha Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: OT - Bowel movement question for the group>>> Hi,>> Thanks for all your replies.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Interesting, thanks. I drank diet soda almost exclusively for more years than I care to remember. We lived in Morocco for three years where the water was not safe to drink and we lived on coke. When we came back stateside, I was thrilled to find there was a no calorie coke. I stayed with it through several evolutions of artificial sweetener until I developed a tremor and began this creeping numbness in the 90's. I stopped then. I've never had mono but I do test positive for Epstein Barr virus, doesn't almost everyone? I was a preemie, born in Nov. in WI. Very little sun to no sun. Do we all keep trying to find the One Reason we have this? My sister in law has the rapidly progressing kind with no relapses. Hers came on smack in the middle of a divorce that came on her like a train wreck. One day she thought she had the ideal life and the next she lost everything she cherished. I've always felt that was her trigger. I wish it would cool off. Eve Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: OT - Bowel movement question for the group>>> Hi,>> Thanks for all your replies.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 My son has leaky gut due to Mercury and Lead Toxicity in his system. He never had well formed stools after his Dtap MMR and Varicella vaccine. Soon after he regressed socially and cognitively and was diagnosed with Autism. We treat his gut with yeast fighters, probiotics, and antobiotics. He never showed signs of the leaky gut other than the poor behaviors and tantrums, yet it was still there causing him to suffer. The bacteria crossed the blood brain barrier and caused the nerological deficits to emerge. We are chelating him to remove the heavy metals and fighting yeast and bacteria that flare up as we go on. He is also on LDN .5 ml nightly to help his immune system as well. I think many anomalies of many neurological disorders are rooted from toxins in the world we live in. Those with weakened immune systems really get the brunt of it all. > > Hi Mark, > > I've been reading info on the connection between 'leaky gut' and auto-immune > conditions such as MS.
