Re: Does anyone have any experience with this?

Judy, My son has had both extremes the chronic runs, and the persistent

constipation.....But the " colored " poop for him is usually a reaction to

something he totally cannot digest (for him chocolate, especially...also

carrots and carob.) Now when I see colored poop I think colored food

and try a 3 or 4 week elimination of suspects and reintroduction to test

for the reaction. Are they using something for a treat at school that

might be suspect?? HTH

and " normal " and recently they have changed. They are like wet, red clay mud

(to include the color). If he has had anything different I don't know what it

would be. The doctor tested for allergies and he wasn't allergic to any foods

like soy, corn or eggs, so I don't think that could be it. I send his snacks to

school (and I hope that they are actually giving them to him), but we have had

some trouble with one of the teacher's and I don't know if she would give him

something or not. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what it

could be. I keep a food diary of everything he eats, and can't find a clue,

it's pretty much the same stuff, just different days. Does anyone have any

experience with this problem?

My children have a problem w/ food coloring. Espiciallly in drinks or fruit

rollups. My son gets diarhea and my daughter gets constipation from things they

eat. Often the same thing (which makes it interesting)
