mom24 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Has anyone heard of/used this as a detox for Lyme? I gave my DS a bath and he developed diarrhea this evening. I am not sure if it is just a coincidence (his brother just had a short bout of it). I'm also always on the lookout for C-Diff. He is on so many antibiotics that this is always never far from my thoughts even though he takes massive pro-biotics. Fingers crossed that he is better tomorrow!

SSS Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Well, it is magnesium, which can produce loose bowels if too much, but we've never seen that with the bath. Epsom salt baths over here have always been a good thing- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicklemama Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 If he swallowed some of the bath water, it might give him diarrhea. If you read the package directions, there is a formula to mix and give for constipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaraM Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) My dd does an epsom salt bath about once a week. Never caused any issues with diarrhea. In most cases, it has always resulted in a more relaxed child. Edited October 10, 2012 by KaraM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemar Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 2 cups in a full tub of warm water is what is generally recommended, so one cup in half a tub and less in a quarter tub etc It should not affect the bowels unless swallowed.
