Cleaning castor oil pack

Hi, would you have any recommendations about how to clean "easily" castor oil from the cotton cloth?

Testing supplements for my son

Dear Luminara,

Would it be possible to have the supplements recommended for constipation tested for my son Arthur, please? He is 9 years old and we’ve been fighting constipation for very long. I feel I have tried everything and I could use your personalised guidance. 

Thank you. Our son is pooping normal again.

Thank you for all this wonderful information. It has been helpful. We have been eating a pretty healthy diet and have been working on my son's gut for a while. Last time we checked it was all doing well. Our son is 6 years old and is small for his age as he has Down Syndrome. He was finally potty trained last month (whoo hoo!) then he started messing his pants at odd times and never told us he had to go. From your teaching we realized that when we started using the big potty to sit on, he was…

He was finally potty trained last month (whoo hoo!) then he started messing his pants at odd times and never told us he had to go. From your teaching we realized that when we started using the big potty to sit on, he was bending in half to go potty (trying not to fall in!) causing the constipation. Then he didn't even know when he was messing his pants. He is better now that we have changed potty positions. Thank you!

Castor oil pack too much?

My child was having kibble like poop when I started the magnesium which caused her to either have loose stools or kibble or both. Castor oil packing alone seems to be giving her too loose as well. She does 1-2 hours a day. Can it be too much? She eats a good amount of fiber and has been hydrating. I want her on magnesium but am worried it will be too much water lost

Supplement testing for Zoria

@Zoria Teodorowych I tested the supplements for your son.
First of all, I you did not fill in his age in the form so I am guessing he is about 6 or 7. Knowing age is very helpful for testing him for supplements. I am disappointed that you didn't fill in items in the form that would be good for me to know.

Second, I tested his current supplements, especially the ones you say he doesn't want to take right now. They don't test well for him. It's likely his body 'knows'. The B12 injections also did…

When I tested my usual supplements for constipation and his particular issues going on, I found not many of them to be helpful. Plus, supplements are tough in Canada! Not many can get into the country easily, so my stock I usually test from was even more limited.

But what did test well instead were some homeopathic remedies and a probiotic.

There are a group of 3 homeopathic remedies that are typically used together. I created an account for you in my online dispensary, Fullscript Canada. You will have an automated welcome message from them (likely in your spam or junk folder, so make sure to check there!). 

I also made you a recommendation with the homeopathic remedies. For all of the homeopathic remedies below, you will give 5 drops 2 times per day, at least 15-30 minutes away from food, drink (other than water) and teeth brushing. You may give them all together in a small amount of water.

The probiotic that tested well was the Just Thrive brand. You can either find it in a health food store near you or order it here.

After seeing this post, please respond so that I know you saw it. Thanks!

And please update here (if you still have access) or email us at support@autismtransformed.com to tell us how the homeopathic remedies worked for you son! We truly want to know!

Documentation from the Poop Perfect regimen

I enjoyed your 7 day Poop Perfect videos, I'm afraid I thought I had access to the documentation for longer, is there any way I can still get it without repaying for the entire course?  I'd like to explore more courses as we try to find some answers for our daughters behaviors and conditions.

Welcome parents!

Hello and welcome to all the new parents bere!

Please come and introduce yourself and say something about your child (optional) and what you are overcoming constipation-wise. 

For example, some kids poop only once per week. Some kids are anxious about going, either in a diaper or on the potty. 

As you go through the 7-Day Reset, say what is helping the most, what foods you are eliminating, etc.

I feel the more we share, the more support we all get!
