Re: constipation on vacation --help!

[Guest guest]

Try giving him a good large dose of vitamin C, like about a gram at least.

Probably will work

better than the Miralax. Keep up the magnesium...might take a temp. break from

Zyme

Prime if you are giving him that.

Mag. Citrate( comes in a capsule) and Activated Charcoal around

bedtime, do not give within

1 1/2 - 2 hours of other supplements or medications.

I just happened to come across an article. It talks about balancing

calcium and magnesium. Calcium carbonate make constipation worse. They

recommend calcium gluconate, orotate or spartate. Calcium gluconate is

supposedly the best.

As for magnesium, it specifically recommends that you use magnesium

oxide or citrate. I'm using magnesium glycinate for my daughter and

according to Kirkman's supplement brochure, glycinate does nothing for

constipation. I going to add citrate for a while and see if that helps

my daughter.

Lots of magnesium works in my house. Also high doses of vitamin C can

work. Other ideas here

How much magnesium? Does he drink milk, or eat apples, bananas, rice,

or wheat? Those are commonly constipating foods.

>>I called our ped, they told me more miralax.

Miralax can be nasty, so best to find the cause of the constipation as

soon as you can

My son has always had issues with constipation. Miralax works (but I'm

trying to get him off of it). If it were my 3 year old -- and it had

been 7 days, I would probably go with an enema by now. Miralax takes 2

days +/- to work. Here's the protocol I just got from a new ND.

and all the stuff I've tried for him

(READ the whole thread)

Forgot to mention magnesium baths too.

Miralax for more than 2 weeks is not recommended per the information about

the product. For us this was the WORSE intervention I have ever used!!! My

non-asd son (now 5) had horrible issues on this, plus drs do not prescribe

this correctly! It wasn't until my third doctor (second ped

gastroenterologist) that told me that you can dump a gallon of Miralax into

a person and it will do NOTHING to existing stool! It only works on new

stool. If it comes out it is leaking its way through. So your doctor who

is recommending more Miralax falls into that idiot drs category with not

knowing how to prescribe a med properly.....sorry! My ped and 1st ped

gastroenterologist told me to do the same thing.... and it didn't work!

We needed to use a Fleet enema for several days to get all of it out. The

colon stretches too much to be emptied completely after one enema....IMO, I

would try for at least 2-3 days.

You really need to keep things like pudding for at least several months (6

months recommended by the 2nd ped gastro) to shrink the colon back to

normal. We use enzymes, supplements, 's Aloe Vera Liquid (tastes like

water), fish oils (to keep things slick-like mineral oil---don't use that),

magnesium oxide works like Miramax as it draws water into the colon, we

diluted Apricot Nectar with apple juice and fiber through foods or

supplement. We have used a lot of other interventions, but these worked

well for us.

You need to get it out so he is not withholding anymore, because this will

continue to cause problems for you in the future. Please e-mail me offlist

if you have any other questions.... we have been through a lot since birth

with this and from age 3 to 4 1/2.

Is he drinking enough water? My kids get really dehydrated on

trips, which doesn't help.

What has worked for us, and a friend of mines child, is Primal Defense by Garden

Life. You can find it in about every health food store.

2 scoops mixed in juice and my son was unblocked 20 minutes later.
