Some things that help me:

Aloe vera supplements.

Potato starch. I usually make homemade potato soup to get sufficient starch in

me. You could also do German " potato balls " . (You can get a package/mix for

these at some grocery stores.)

Sea salt.

Organic butter. I try to cook a high butter recipe if I feel I need it but if I

am desperate, I still sometimes just eat butter.

Gelatin. I usually mix a packet of plain gelatin with hot water. Stir

vigorously. Add a little fruit juice. Drink quickly while still very warm so it

doesn't turn to goo on the bottom of the cup. Continue stirring in between

until you are done with it.

I have also heard that constipation can be a sign of magnesium deficiency.

(Think of the fact that " milk of magnesia " is a product intended to treat

constipation.)

Good luck with this.

Sea salt in water - even a little bit helps - but 1/2 tsp to 1/2 liter.

REAL prune juice or apple juice. RW Knudsen organic juices are great.

Raisins.

Fletchers of Castoria (senna) they have a root beer flavor.

Is it constant or just for problematic times? Is he getting enough water?

If chronic, whole body vibration helps. Foot baths help.

FWIW:

Magnesium glycinate is supposed to be one of the best (if not the best) forms of

magnesium. Ideally, it should be taken with calcium. I think the ratio is

supposed to be 2 parts calcium to one part magnesium (but I might have that

backwards -- you should double check it).

I never did aloe juice. I did pills. I began taking it when I could no longer

afford glyconutrients. It was one of the ingredients in the glyconutrients and

it did about 50% of what they had been doing for me, which kept me out of

crisis.

In addition to butter, another oil that helps the gut is coconut oil. It is

higher in medium chain triglycerides than butter. I have to be careful how much

of this I use. It also has fairly good antimicrobial properties, so promotes

die-off. However, it helps with yeast. I use it a lot topically to treat yeast

infections when I am suffering yeast overgrowth due to die-off.

I got my best results for healing the gut by taking a combination of coconut

oil, glyconutrients, and Celtic sea salt. Each of them has a good track record

for helping the gut. I found if I increased only one or two of them, it did not

make a dramatic difference. But if I increased all three of them, it made a

huge difference. They each can cause diarrhea when taken alone. Taken

together, they pretty much were guaranteed to cause diarrhea for me. So I

usually took more on a Friday evening so I had all weekend to get over it. But

it moved my healing process forward and my experience has been that diarrhea

from supplements is usually very inconvenient but not miserable the way diarrhea

from antibiotics or illness typically is.

In addition to those things, I ate a lot of lettuce for a long time and worked

hard on my correcting my PH balance. Getting my gut to work properly has been a

major project for me. Serious gut issues are the norm for my genetic disorder.

Good luck with this.
