Help with my constipated daughter
I Have a two year's old daughter who is constipated since 5 months old. Despite a rich fiber diet, evacuation is very painful for her.I've tried at least 5 differente doctors and none of the remedies that she took had helped her. I've been reading a lot to try to find the right constitutional medicine for her, since no homeopath (here in Brazil) has found it yet.
Last week I gave her Sulphur 30C twice a day for three days. The first two days made a huge improvemnet on her mood. She had turn into a sweet girl and had sleep much better than she usually does (she always wakes up in the middle of the night) but on the third day the she became irritated and her constipation didn't get better.
She is a late talker and craves salt and sweet, so I thought natrum muriaticum, but she is tall and strong for her age and walked early.
What shoud I do ?
Thanks

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
please give daughter CARICA PAPAYA-Q some 10 drops at least 3 times a day for the first 5 days and then 2 times for some more days.
her constipation will get cured in a weeks time.
when the symptoms return after some weeks, restart the remedy.

Thank you for your reply. It's just CARICA PAPAYA I'll have to ask ? Without any potency ?

Include prune juice in her diet. It is very effective for constipation.
Read up Bryonia, Alumina, Opium for constipation and Baryta Carb for constitutional remedy.

Thank you for your response. Ill try the prune juice.
About Baryta Carb., I read it and I think its not her constitutional remedy.
I wrote a list of some of her characteristics:
Perspire a lot, on the head and on her back, especially at night when she is sleeping.
She kicks her covers off.
Early teething
Walked early, with 10 months.
Tall, strong muscles and bones. She is very strong (not fat).
Late talker, she is 24 months and only speaks about 14 words. She understand everything we say to her, responds imeddiatly to difficult taks (pick the credit card above the table in the kitchen and give it to daddy in his room). Her school teacher said she is very intelligent and she doesnt talk much because she is lazy and gets everything she wants with mimic and pointing.
Shes very attached to me, almost like a pulsatilla child, but she loved school since the first day and never cried when I left her there.
She only got sick twice until now, and she has recovered very fast.
She had acid reflux (without vomiting) and Milk allergy, and both had passed about five months ago.
She used to have strong hiccups
Sometimes she has a bad breath
She loves sweet, bread, salt, and hates fruits, although she takes all kind of juices. She also likes meat, but dislikes eggs.
She is curious, demanding and agitated. She also loves to dance. Despite her agitation she can keep quiet for a whole movie (Cinderella is her favorite).
Her sleeping is troubled. She usually resists going to bed and wakes up in the middle of the night and keep awaken for an hour or two before get to sleep again.
Any suggestions about her constitutional medicine?

She took Sulphur 30C twice a day for three days. The effect on her behaviour and sleep was almost magical, but it had no effect on her constipation. After those two days it had no more effect.
I'll read Calc. carb.
Thanks again!

calc is closer to her.

I've found a lot of similarities in Calc.Carbonica, but there are some calc. characteristics she is the opposite. She has very strong muscles and bones, she already has all the teeths and they are strong and perfect. Se has a white skin but red cheeks and red lips, with a very healthy look. Her feet is always hot. She hate eggs, loves meat.
I've found those characteristics below:
The feet are cold. Muscles emaciate. Emaciated about the neck; emaciated about the neck and from there downwards. Anemic conditions; pale, waxy, sickly; pale lips; pale ears; pale fingers; pale and yellowish.
The Calcarea patient has a very strong longing for eggs. Little children crave eggs; at every meal they will eat eggs, and eggs, will digest better than anything else. Aversion to meat
Are those strong indications to not consider Calc.Carbonica? Or she may be the opposite above and still be Calc. Carbonica?
Thanks again!

I Just came from a meeting with my daughters teacher at school. She said that she prefers to play alone, and she usually pushes other children that try to play with her toy. Also, she said that she concentrates so much when she finds something interesting that she almost forget the world around her. Does this help to indicate Calc.Carbonica? Or other remedy ?

The idea is not to match all the keynotes of a remedy. As a spiritual master and homeopath wrote, if one finds 3/4th of keynotes in a person, he will not survive.
While matching, mental keynotes and thermal modalities are primary. Pathological and other symptoms are of low importance.
Why dont you try some online constitutional Remedy Finder?
It takes a while even for very experienced homeopaths to arrive at the constituional remedy. Pl continue searching.

BTW Try Sulphur 200C since it had good effect on her for a couple of days at 30C.

Thank you for your help!
I'll try sulphur. I'd already try Remedy Finder but I didn't like it much.
I've found a online text about eight childrens constitutional remedies:

I'll read it and I'll try to find it based on what you told me, that mental keynotes and thermal modalities are primary.
I'll post her improvement.
I've already tried to find Carica Papaya here, but nobody has it, although we are a tropical country, full of papayas ...

I'd like to try Calc. Carbonica before give her Sulphur 200c.
Can I try it before sulphur ? What dosage is better ?
I usually give her 30c twice a day.

please note that SULPHUR should not be given after CALC.
try sulphur first and then after a gap of one week, you can try calc.

Ok!
I'll try Sulphur 200c. But is 1 week enought if I decide to change to Calc.Carbonica? Shouldn't I wait more time with a 200c potency ?
Thanks again for your help!

minimum one week, if you notice a change in the bowel movements in your daughter, you should not change the remedy.
if you see there has not been absolutely any change in the BM even after one week, probably the remedy isnt correct. in that case, you can go for calc.
