Stephen, Efrem our group practitioners,
please help me to figure out what it happening to this baby
12 months old slim Earth baby
generally no health issues, occasional constipation since birth
healthy home birth, breast fed, wax free
3 weeks ago got a stomach virus from his brothers ( loose white undigested diarrhea for a week), we used Tummy Tamer and Grow and Thrive at low dosage
5-10 drops 3 times per day
probiotics
within one week stool became formed, but immediately switched into constipation, hard clay like stool and pebbles
at the same time strong night symptoms started:
happy playful baby all day/ good appetite/ great mood/ sleeping/ nursing- but at night extreme spasms that seems to come from his belly, baby is moving and screaming, trying to run away from pain ( does not always fully wake up)
spasms lasts 5-15 seconds with 15-20 min intervals
belly seems soft before and after each spasm
we are now trying to use a little olive oil to prevent constipation,
but night spasms are continuing and not improving
and then again, during the day baby is happy and healthy looking
2 days ago he developed a high fever, lasted 24 hours
night symptoms are continuing, possibly are getting worse
we consulted with urgent care- no help there ( stool was tested for bacteria)
please let us know from your expertise what this night spasms could possibly be and how to help this baby asap
Thank you very much
i am very grateful for your respond in advance
anya
Blessings,
