I wanted to share with you guys what works for our family…because I know it’s not a fun life for ANYONE when there is constipation afoot. (Hopefully not ON your foot.)
These are things all 6 of us do – and I am VERY vigilant that Eli does them…because we don’t particularly like trips to the ER for pre-school enemas.
Basically, when your gut isn’t healthy, YOU aren’t healthy. And when your gut isn’t healthy, YOU CAN’T POOP.
I’ve been a huge fan of probiotics for years – our family takes them religiously. They help us stay healthier in our immune system and our gut.
We get our probiotics from: yogurt, Life 9 probiotic (Young Living), MightyPro (Young Living).
Here are some great ways to get probiotics:
A good, high quality probiotic like MightyPro.
Kefir (water or dairy)
If you didn’t know this, magnesium can clean you out. It also helps you sleep! And keeps cramps away! I really think magnesium is one of those magical minerals that everyone needs.
Some great options for magnesium:
It’s really hard to get enough magnesium naturally with food – so try one of those options. But caution – if you take too much, you’ll have the opposite problem of “can’t poop” –> the trots.
We use lotion from The Magnesium Lotion Shop and epsom salt baths.
Basically, enzymes break down food in your body. Eli especially needs this. He does so much better all around (even on his skin) when he takes digestive enzymes.
You can find a good quality digestive enzyme from your doctor or by doing your own research. We use MightyZymes from Young Living (for the kids) and Barry and I use EssentialZymes (Young Living).
A few other things that are important to think about when you can’t poop.:
Get a good bit of fiber
And then, go forth and poop. You’re welcome.
I have a son with food allergies and our dr told us to give him digestive enzymes while we take the problem foods out of our diet. I’ve started giving them to both of our sons along with a probiotic and we’ve never had such “regular” children.
Probiotics are a definite MUST!!!!! I’m so glad they’re regular!
