nobreakyet Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 I have tried high dose magnesium, metamusil, mineral oil, senekot, milk of mag. and nothing makes her poop. She is in the emergency room with rectal prolapse 3 times now. The only way I have been able to get her to poop, is to give her culturelle one night and skip the next night. She then poops. It is not the culturelle making her constipated 'cause she was constipated before this. We suspect clostridia and we are about to start vancomycen soon. (She's already on the amphoceterin.) My thought was that she is constipated from all the bad bacteria not being killed and pushed out, but I am not so sure about that. I just don't get why stopping and starting the culturelle makes her poop. Any ideas???
tpotter Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Have you had her tested for c-difficil? What are you doing to detox? Also, is she taking lots of probiotics? Perhaps the culturelle is helping provide the proper bacteria in her stomach? But, whatever the reason...at least it's working.
Allie Posted April 16, 2013 Report Posted April 16, 2013 Have you considered Alinia for the C- diff? What about using other Probiotics instead of the Culturelle too? Vitamin C , Magnesium, Castor oil cap, together to move bowels? Even Castor oil Packs on the Stomach area with a heating pad for 20 mins, before bedtime.
nobreakyet Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Posted April 16, 2013 S.Smith thinks it's clostridia boltea (spelling???) We were only doing charcoal for detox, but I did not want to add anything else until we get her to poop. Why give stuff to detox if the toxins can't come out, I was thinking??? I am just giving 2 culturelle. She gets aggressive with more. I hate that I have to start/stop culturelle just to get her to poop, since she reacts to the slightest changes in supplements. I never tried Alinia, where do I get it? And no, I did not give the vitamin C, Mag, Castor oil all together. What do you meant "castor oil packs on the stomach area with heating pad" Isn't castor oil something you drink? Thanks for the help.
