Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Dear Sharon, I believe there are several list members here who's children are celiac and may have some input that can help. Amy Lovelace has had lots of experience in this area and when she sees your message I am sure she will write in. I will pray for your son. . .it must be so difficult to have him suffer so much. I do have an idea regarding a natural laxative that may help. It isn't " strong " but can be safely used every day. It might be something you can use " in between " doctor's " orders " . Aloe Vera juice acts as a safe and natural laxative and can be used daily. It isn't necessarily delicious, but mixed with pure water I think your son could get it down. The most inexpensive place I've found it is at WalMart. . .about $7.00 for a large container. I also recommend a book by Barbara Kerr called " Taste of Health " . It is actually a cookbook for those with colitis, but many of the principles apply. In it she speaks of her health troubles and the routes that were taken in curing them. She has a large section on taking care of colon troubles naturally and effectively. Her book is available at Barnes and Noble and also the ABC Family Bookcenters. Is there anyone else on our list who can assist Sharon with ideas and solutions? I know she would appreciate your help. Sincerely, LaDonna PS: Sharon, my dh is the celiac in our family. He was diagnosed last December. . .so I am still a bit new at this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
