Constipation
By Anthonys mom on 01/04/2010
Hello everyone,
The last couple of months have been so busy. Anthony starting school. It feels like he goes to school a day or two and then is sick again. Before Christmas he was sick alot and was in the hospital. Every since that he has been getting so constipated. Nothing seems to be helping him get back on track. He takes enulose, we have incressed fluids more. Enamas are the only thing that seem to help him pass it. Any suggestions?

Rachel, I haven't been on for a while we just came back from the doctor today. Anthony has had cronic cough on and off since October. He has not been tested for it. I will have to call her back and ask. Constipation, fatigue, dehydration are issue he deals with Daily. Thank you so much. You are so Helpfull!

Help for constipation
Although I don't have MELAS, between GI problems associated w/ MITO and medications, I was prescribed Enulose (double ICK!) for my constipation. After sharing that I hated the idea of (and cost involved with) taking yet another medicine and that I'd gone 5 days w/o a bm, a dear friend of mine told me about a WONDERFUL natural suppliment that really worked for her without the ICK factor, or concerns about 'dependancy'. It's called 'Herbs & Prunes' made by Nature's Life, and is carried by SPROUTS, locally (AZ) for around $7.00 for 100 tabs.
The 'normal' dose is one per day, but because it had been 'a while' I took 4 the first time and there were NO unpleasant side effects -- urgency, gas, odor, watery consistency, etc. -- when it worked around 12 hours later. (w/MITO and meds, rather than the normal dose, I take 2 to 3 for daily regularity.) Hope this is helpful... Blessings

I have not looked online
I have not looked online lately for solutions. This sounds great! I have used Senna, a plant that creates bowel waves and it works well. Trouble is, it acts like a laxative and causes dependency, so have been careful not to use unless really necessary.
I will look for your Herbs and Prunes product. It would be convenient when traveling because Mirilax has to be taken in liquid, something not always convenient.
Thanks for sharing. Blessing to you also--
