Sulfur for constipated toddler?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
We had our first appt with a homepath practitioner today for my 2 year old.
Her problem she cant poop and hasnt been able to since she was EBF at 10 months old as soon as she started to drop feedings her bowels locked up, and to be honest she only pooped once a week when she was an infant EBF.

So anyhow we had my DD on miralax off and on for about 7 months , well i have read nort such goods things about children being on that, so we decided to find an alternative to help her, hence an appt with our homepathic practitioner.

He wants her to take 2 pellets once a day for a week and then 2 times a day for a week.
I am new to all this and I am a little nervous about giving this to her, I was hoping I could get some input. My DD is a horrible sleeper, wakes up crying at night for no reason and can't poop she he felt this would be the best thing to try to start taking everything in to account (the body as a whole).

So please if anyone can help ease my mins about giving this her please reply.
I imagine giving her Miralax would have worse side effect then the sulfur so I dont know why I am so nervous. Please respond. thank you

Homeopathic sulfur is not likely to have any side effects, unless your child is exquisitely sensitive to milk. But that brings up the point that the number one food intolerance in children is milk, and a very common side effect is constipation. All this said, while homeopathic sulfur is a fine suggestion, I personally would lean toward supplementing magnesium. Raise the childs magnesium levels and pooping WILL happen. It can't NOT happen. Try using Baby Calm and epsom salt baths... and head over to the allergy forum in health and healing if you want more info.
