Sheila,

He is eating carrots, butternut squash, turkey, and pears

..

I even tried to get him to eat banana..and he won't.

I am considering avocado, but with his allergies,

I don't know. What about apples? I haven't been giving

them because of yeast and phenolics, but I do have him

on NO phenol right now.

Thanks,

Tammy

It sounds as if you need more carbs, even if you are fighting

yeast. You could try golden delicious apples. I have heard (but

don't know if it works) that peeling the apple twice removes

many/most of the phenolic compounds. Cooking the peeled apple

should also help.

Are you using anything for the yeast and C. diff.? Either of these

could be at the root of the diarrhea.

Thanks Sheila,

Sorry for the panic post, after the post he had a pretty decent

stool. But he is using enzymes now and hard to know if those are

firming them up or not. We are hoping to get flagyll from

the DAN dr. I am going to give him some pumpkin with honey and

cinnamon for Thanksgiving. I hate to give him honey, but I feel

like the kid deserves a break! The mb-12 seems to be helping as well.

He is going to be fine! (chant chant chant)

Thanks again,
