High fiber...

[Guest guest]

Well I kinda had it out with the ped last week and he put my girl on HIGH FIBER

diet (and wrote a script for Miralax, again which I said I didnt wanna use on

her) He got upset with me because I told him we werent going back to the GI

cause he said " shes holding it in " after speaking with everyone whos been

around her " during that time " they agree theres NO WAY shes holding it. She

tries soooooooo hard to get it out, her poor little face turns red. Cant get

much more than once every 2-3 days and always hard balls. So, I have been

looking into flax seed oil.... or maybe someone can recommended something else.

We tried numerous things, I am currently looking for a b6/mag citrate to try

(helps her seizures and hoping I can find a brand or mix that might help the

bowels too) He said remove all dairy but didnt wanna write a letter for the

school not to give her milk there. I love this ped and he already knows we are

not doing anymore shots and when I said I want her titers checked he said WHY u

just gotta sign a letter not to get em. YAY no big fight there I guess.

Anyways Bri is on 1 tablet of DMG and 1 caplet of Omega Complete daily.

Thanks!

Magnesium and vitamin C [and GSE if it was related to yeast] worked

well at my house.

We use GROUND flax seeds, digestive enzymes, probiotics, lots of water and

sometimes benefiber. Works very well for us. I sprinkle the flax seeds in

everything from meatloaf to spaghetti sauce to salads or soups. You no lose

the Omega 3 benefits by cooking it, but the fiber is fine. Hope something

helps!

I don't see what's wrong with a high fiber diet. It sounds like a

good idea. What does it mean, whole grains, lots of raw veggies?

Be sure she drinks plenty of water. Constipation is one of the

first indicators of dehydration. If one of my kids gets

constipated, I tell them to drink a big glass of water--at least 12

ounces. Usually they can go within 30 minutes.

There's tons of herbs which help constipation. You might want to

try prune juice or aloe vera. Prune juice: give a glass of about 4-

8 ounces (depending on size of child) and wait 24 hours. Aloe

vera: buy fresh aloe at the gro. store produce department. Grind

up the peel in the blender with water. Strain off liquid and give 3-

8 oz. of liquid.

Lena,

Have you had your daughter's thyroid checked? If not, talk your

friendly doctor into running Free T3 and Free T4 with TSH. The Free

T3 and T4 are the most important. Don't let him talk you out of it

because of " best practices " concerns or for any other reason. If

you do this, check to make sure the reference range they give you is

for children, not for adults. Most labs screw this up. A child's

Free T3 needs to be much higher than an adult's. Thyroid issues

play significantly into constipation. A healthy thyroid is

incredibly important for proper brain functioning. A bad thyroid

can lead to loss of IQ points (in addition to constipation, dry skin

and hair, etc.).

If this is not an issue for you, my apologies for the post.
