Re: Re: Constipation and other ?????

[Guest guest]

OH.... I have to agree with this, there is nothing like Vitamin C to chase away

constipation!

Someone on this list told me to squeeze fresh orange juice (consume within 15

minutes of squeezing) and this has remained a mainstay for us when we suffer

constipation. Luckily, with all of our dietary changes and gut healing, we no

longer suffer from it. When we had really severe times, such as your son is

experiencing right now, I fed my son a bowl (or two) of cherries and it

absolutely gets things a flowing! (Careful or you will get diarrhea with too

much)

Vitamin C (buffered poweder) can be added to a nice healthy fruit smoothie and

you literally can increase it until you start getting a touch of diarrhea, then

back off slightly and you will have found your regular daily dosage.

In addition, magnesium helps to get the bowels moving as well.

It is imperitive that our children have regular, daily bowel movements or they

will soon go toxic from the build up of amonia.

Constipation is a sign of heavy metal toxicity.

I suggest you go to www.kirkmanlabs.com - it is a company that

specializes in the DAN protocal and thus, very clearly it is an

outstanding source for nearly all your supplements. They carry the

NN brand of omegas.

This was a stubborn problem with my son too. The single one thing

that made all the difference is.. drum roll VITAMIN C!!!! Kirkman

makes a chewable tablet. Start with 250 mg and move on up, you can't

o.d. on Vit C. you will however, find your threshold when the childs

poops become soft. This is the single one thing that keeps my kids

poops normal and somewhat regular.

When he's off vit C - his poops look like hard little marbles and

goes every 2 to 3 days - no complaints ever. On Vit C - nearly

normally formed and darn close to daily.

It is CRITICALLY important that you resolve the consitpation. If you

are managing to move the heavy metals you certainly don't want them

to sit in the bowels, only to reabsorb.

If you try this, please post your results.

On another - DROP the Flintstones... Here's how to get the

supernuthera into your kid.

Get one of those dropper type medicine dispensors. It has a bulb tip

and a plastic measuring attachment. The liquid vits - I fill the

plastic part and attach the bulb tip. I come from behind him and

slip the tip into his mouth and squirt it slowly into his mouth.

For the vit's you have to crush. My son hates the taste of citrus -

so he won't chew the chewable C's. No problem. I buy those littel

paper dixie cups. I crush (I use a meat tendering hammer) the

tablets and put that into the cup. I also give my boy several

capsules - which I simply open into the cup. I take a little organic

pear juice (good choice - low glycemic) and then with the med

dispenser I mix it sucking it up and down until the liquid is

completely disolved.

Who cares if it's truly palatable. You are the mommy, and he needs

these vitamins. period. I only put a small amt of juice, so it's

really not a lot of volume yuck.

I generally bear hug the kid (like you do when doing a blood draw)

and go dropper by dropper until the mixture is gone. You can

regulate how much is coming out of the dropper, go slow and he won't

choke.

I'll have a cup of water nearby so he can have a little chaser.

Done this way,you know he's getting the full dose.

In the very beginning... when I though no way could I do this... a

woman who runs a daycare showed me her method. It looked barbaric,

but I did it and soon, didn't need this method. In the really tough

case - try this;

Lay kid on back, you sit (without your weight) on top of the child -

arms are under you- they can't get out. You slowly squirt the

dropper into the childs mouth. Slowly.

It took about a week of this method - and my kid was fine with

anything I put into his mouth via the dropper method.

I woudn't use Flintstones... some commercial vitamins have heavy

metals in them.
