Re: Houston Enzymes

[Guest guest]

Hi Tammy,

We have also been SCD for 5 months and are seeing formed stools. I

have noticed that the poos are of smaller portion, do you think this

is because they are formed or because it is a constipation thing and

only so much comes out? We have had formed stool for about 5 days

now, with one day being a little loose. Do you know if this means he

ate something no tolerated when it became mushy for a day?

The other question I have is, my son never really had a D problem.

His stools use to be always mushy and different colors. I haven't

noticed huge changes with the diet yet and was wondering how I could

really determine if this is the diet for him. I just assume since he

is autistic that his intestines are not healthy and because his

stools were never formed.

Thanks,

Darci

The rice bran is rice bran oil and Elaine okayed them. Some find

the that the rice bran oil one works better and others like the

cellulose filler enzyme.

When the stool becomes solid after being either diarrhea or mush you

lose a lot of water weight so there will be some less - it is more

compacted as the body pulls water back into the body instead of

losing it (and nutrients) in the stool.

Did he eat something different in those days? Are you keeping a

food journal?

Has the frequency of bm's changed since being on the diet?

What is he eating? Is he taking probiotics and/or yogurt

(nut/dairy)?
