Re: Nutriveda and constipation? Anyone?

April 11, 2010

Hi,

I don't think the Nutriveda is constipating your son, I think it is the start of

potty training. My son is 3 and 2 months old and has been 100% pee trained since

a week before his 3rd birthday. Just like your son he poop on the potty in the

beginning but then started holding his poop in, to this day he only poops in a

pull-up and not on the potty. Since he is so good with the pee ( he will take

himself and goes 11 hrs. at night with not needing to pee) I feel when he is

good and ready he will poop on the potty. The tricking part for us is getting

him to ask for a pull-up when he needs to poop. It is a crap shot getting the

poop in the pull-up instead of the underware. He only poops once a day or

sometimes every other day so it is not a big deal. I have tried everything to

convince him to poop in the potty but emotionally he is not not ready. I

understand from a lot of people, doctor included that this is very common for

little boys.

Good luck and don't stress too much about it.

Carolyn

Subject: [ ] Nutriveda and constipation? Anyone?

Hi -- my three year old son has been on Nutriveda since March 10th. Before

Nutriveda, both of my kids have always had loose/not formed stools. We have

evaluated many metabolic things, gluten, etc. No clear explanation yet. Still

working on it... but for the first time... my son has been constipated for the

past three days. Coincidentally -- or maybe not -- we have also started potty

training. He went #2 for the first time in the potty on Easter Sunday and did

the sign for " boo boo. " Ever since then, he hasn't gone in the potty. I think

he went once in a pull up since then but then the past three days... no output.

I gave him prune juice last night and this afternoon and still waiting. Does

anyone else have a toddler on Nutriveda with the same issue or do you think this

could be more of a potty training issue??? We use big boy underwear during the

day and put a pull up on for nap and nighttime.

My son is 3 and super skinny and a horrible eater. When I started NV, he would

only go once every three days for about a week and a half. And when he went it

was huge and probably hurt going out. I upped his juice intake in hopes of

moving things through better. We are on the third week and he's been going a

small poo once a day and then after a few days a huge stinky one. But they

haven't been hurting. He also is starting to potty train, but I don't think

that is the reason why, b/c he misses more than he gets in the potty. He's still

on the half dose b/c he's been complaining of headaches and I don't know if it's

pollen (really high now) or the NV detoxing still. Before this he also had

loose mushy poo and I was trying to figure out the culprit but never did. Now

they are not mushy and hold together better. I use cloth diapers and he's

finally got " plop-able poos " if that makes since.
