Since you are continuing to have mushy stools i would suggest the

intro for 2-3 days and then gradually add in some foods

It is hard to tell now if it is a phenol problem or something else

right now. If you start with the intro and slowly add foods in

their reactions will give a clearer picture which is the problem.

If unsure what it points to let us know their reactions and we'll

help figure it out.

Thanks Sheila! I have to ask a few questions.

First, since we think he has had reactions to eggs and bananas in the past,

should we include them in the intro or keep them out for now?

Secondly, the first time we did the intro, we didn't see improvement in BMs.

If that happens again, can we continue to adding stage one foods one at a

time?

Thanks for your help!

I just remembered that bananas are not in the intro. So nevermind about them

but still wondering about eggs (or egg yolks). Thanks!

His reactions to eggs seem to be a gastro and behavioral reaction

(aggression and tantrums). We went ahead and are going to try egg yolks and

see how it goes. We just assumed it was the eggs but I guess it could be

something else.

Allergic reaction or gut reaction (bloated belly, tummy pains..)?

Ripe bananas aren't on the intro.

Yes, you should only do the intro for 2-5 days maximum.
