Seeking advice for baby with blocked colon

November 6, 2008

My dear friend is almost 8 months pregnant and recently found out that her baby

may have

some sort of blockage in the colon. They do not know if this means there is a

blockage

somewhere along the large intestinal tract, or if it means that the baby does

not have an anal

opening and will need a colostomy bag right away. Any herbal recommendations,

treatments, specialist leads (she is in NYC), etc are all welcome. I told her I

would ask around

for advice and information since she doesn't know the specifics yet and so I am

really not

sure what exactly I am asking for here... Just wanted to help her as best I

can with the

communities I know.

Namaste,

Lexie

Dear Lexie -

The only thought that comes to mind is knowing sometimes babies are

born with anal opening not quite right, and gentle massaging with warm

ghee helps it to stretch and relax and open. Also ingesting of a

little ghee helps baby's movements to be more easy. Otherwise I do

not know enough to make any suggestoins for her now except

visualization and there must be some herb/essential oil/marma point

work that would encourage correcting the energetic level seed form

manifestation...Please let us know what is learned? The idea of a

baby with a colostomy bag sounds so extreme!

But what is your read on it from the jyotish astrology for them - the

karma, and best corrective angles? There must be some clues?

Love, Ysha

Ysha- Can you pass this on to whoever posted this?

Thanks

I don't have any herbal recommendations, but I can share our story

about this. We also had an ultrasound that showed this in my daughter.

Actually we had 12 total ultrasounds between 7 and 9 1/2 months and

all confirmed this. We underwent genetic counseling and were prepared

for the events that would follow birth. Then my last ultrasound

showed a normal large intestine and baby was born perfectly healthy. I

have since found out that the false-positive diagnosis for this by

ultrasound is quite high. I hope that this is the case for your

friend. I encourage her to spend lots of time in prayer and meditation

over it. I have come across many others who have had similar

experiences to mine.

Happy New Year!

To update you all: On December 18th, my dear friend I emailed about delivered a

very healthy baby girl, Kokoro (meaning " Heart " in Japanese)! Even though the

doctors kept insisting there was a blockage along the GI tract up until a few

weeks before delivering, little Koko has a perfectly clear and working

intestinal tract. Just goes to show that (luckily!) even sonograms can be

mistaken... Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!

Namaste,

Lexie

it's a shame the baby had to go through 12 ultrasounds. No?
