CONSTIPATION AND
OPTIFLORA TESTIMONY FROM A MEMBER ~ "From the time my son, Kaden,
was an infant, he has had problems with bowel movements. I was able to nurse
him for a very short time before complications resulted in having to feed him
formula. Almost immediately, he began having problems with his stool. At five
weeks old, he would cry and strain until he was exhausted. It was so bad, that
we actually had to "dig" the excretions out of him. The ordeal was
terrible.
We talked to
multiple pediatricians about the issue. Each time, we were told to switch his
formula until we found one that worked. We finally settled on a formula that is
partially broken down, which is supposed to aid with digestion. Though the
formula helped with his acid reflux, it did nothing for his bowel problems.
Once Kaden began eating solid foods, the problem worsened. He would go a week
or more without being able to relieve himself. The pain became so bad, that we
were referred to Riley Hospital for Children, so that he could have an
ultrasound done on his lower abdomen. The results showed that he was insanely
backed up, and was full of hardened fecal matter. The only suggestion they gave
us was to feed him more fiber (our son in incredibly picky!) and to start him
on two doses of Miralax, daily. Kaden was a little over a year old when the
ultrasound was performed. He is now 3 1/2 years old.
Potty training a
child is a hard enough task; doing it with a child that has last minute
"explosions" is an even greater task. After several months and ruined
pairs of undies, I knew something else had to be done. I was tired of feeding
my kiddo synthetic fiber and having to clean up the horrid messes it created.
When I would skip his doses of Miralax, he would become so backed up, once
again. I was feeling pretty helpless.
One of my friends
from high school had been talking to me about Shaklee and all the benefits of
the many, many products. I mentioned to her about my son's bowel issues. She
suggested that I try the Optiflora Probiotic Complex. She told me she gives it
to her kiddos, and has friends that give it to their kiddos, as well. Although
I was a bit skeptical, I trust Jenni, and figured I would give it a try.
Once my order
arrived, I took one of the capsules (which are like a tiny little pearl) and
put it into a bite of Kaden's yogurt and told him to swallow. That very
evening, he had an enormous bowel movement, without the crying and pushing. At
first, I thought it was a coincidence, but the following three days, I gave him
his daily Optiflora and it resulted in more bowel movements!! SOLID, soft bowel
movements!! At this point, I knew it had to be the Optiflora. I sent Jenni a
text thanking her.
Kaden has been on
the Optiflora for two weeks now, and has consistent, soft, solid bowel movements.
I am blown away by this, and wish I would have known about this fabulous
product three years ago. Thanks to my dear friend, Jenni, and her concern for
my son, I now have a natural and pain free way for my son to be regular. I am a
Shaklee customer for life!!
note from Pat...just by adding something as simple as an Optiflora capsule what an incredible difference this made for the child and also for his mom who had been feeling helpless watching her child suffer.

I
love what Debra Foreman says about what happened
when she started their daughter on product for her digestive issues...Debra
said Shaklee gave her her power back
