I have been doing a lot of reading on here and not that much typing/writing. I need help from some of you really smart people on here....please!!!
My 3 year old daughter has had chronic constipation and blood in her stools since she started solids at 6 months. Soon after, we stopped vaccinations and started doing elimination diets. She was very skinny, having yeast infections/thrush. We have kept the severe constipation under control by a daily dose of either Magnesium or Miralax. I HATE to use the Miralax, but when the magnesium stops working after a month or two, we'd alternate. It's the ONLY thing that has worked. We've tried fiber, prunes, flax, probiotics, enzymes, high dose Vit c, coconut oil, CLO etc.
Recently I decided we needed to be on the candida diet to re-establish good bacteria balance. Her urine turned dark from all of the cholesterol and fats. I did a urinalysis and thought it looked like she had an elevated bilirubin and she was in ketosis. We immediately stopped the diet and started eating carbs. Her urine turned clear again but her stools are very hard and light colored. At first I was worried about liver function and started giving high doess of Vit. c, but that hasn't helped the constipation and now her stools are very light in color. I am reading on-line that this could mean a bile duct blockage. I hate going to doctors...they just want to medicate. But I am reeally worried that this could be serious.
Also, last week she drank a little of my kombucha and she got extremely hyper. The next day morning her nose was running non stop for a week as soon as her nose was running I noticed her eyes looked SO much clearer and brighter. When her nose finally stopped running, her eyes got blood-shot again--even with the healthy foods we've been doing and high dose vit. c.
I am so confused and overwhelmed by everything I've been reading, I don't know where to begin. We aren't seeing a naturopath..would that be the place to start?? ANy advice would be appreciated! TIA!
