I use digestive support formula from Extended Health, but I couldn't

get the link from their website tonight.

Is it possible your daughter could be wheat or dairy intolerant? You

mentioned giving her a sandwich. Sometimes people can be wheat or

dairy intolerant and it doesn't show up on tests. My son can't take

dairy and he tested negative.

What about a bowel cleanse? I used this one on me

http://64.106.168.151/feature.asp?ProdID=16

but I've never done it with a child. When I had finished (it took 6

weeks) I felt great.

You said she has impaction, what are the doctors doing aobut that?

I'm not sure how they get it out, ask on the encopresis site. You

have to deal with that first.

Does she have other symptoms? Is she an easy child to get along with?

I know a lot about autistic kids causes and cures. The problem is

all in the bowel. One of my children is autistic with GI problems,

another is ADHD with encopresis. There's a lot of information on the

internet if you want me to point you in the right direction. There's

also a lot of ways you can go, there's no one right answer.

While I mention it, I love reading www.mercola.com

Here's the link to the encopresis web site

Thanks Tina, I have looked into both websites, joined the

encopresis one, Did the bowel cleanse pills work really

good for you? What about for impaction?

Thanks again,

I can't help with impaction, my son never had it. But I remember

others on the list discussing it and I can't remember what they did.

I really feel you should ask your questions on the encopresis board

as parents are more used to dealing with it than on this board.

Also, I've never done an enema on a child. I really wouldn't like to

do colonics myself on one of my own children.

I keep thinking that if your daughter is small and heavy for her

age, maybe there is something wrong with her that the doctors have

missed. Are there any other tests you can do? What about cystic

fibrosis? does she have any other symptoms?

Personally, I had a great time with the bowel cleanse. Basically you

give yourself diarrhea for 6 weeks, but you control how frequently

you go by the number of pills you take. You would have to get your

daughter's cooperation because to some extent you self regulate. By

the end of the 6 weeks I felt great. I got a lot of dross out.

Go and ask your question on the encopresis site. I'm over there too

Hi, there:

Is your child able to recognize when peristalsis is occurring? A

lot of kids sometimes ignore it (they are too busy playing, etc). If

you can get her to acknowledge to you when peristalsis is

occurring and get right to the bathroom, the problem may correct

itself eventually.

Bloating and gas can occur when each mouthful of food is not

chewed at last 32 times. Also, candida is often the cause of

bloating. Does she have any sugar in her diet? Also, chocolate is

a real constipator.

Have you considered giving your daughter digestive enzymes with HCL,

hydrochloric acid? Soloray has an excellent one with pepsin...I

agree with the idea that she is not digesting her food properly, and

HCL is soooooooooooooo good for you in other ways.
