Re: Re: Will you analyze this poopy?

[Guest guest]

So, she has been on SCD for 1 month, and you started solids one month ago, and

constipation started 1 month ago, and she just had a bi-colored poop. What is

the mainstay of her diet, breast milk, formula?

It is a hard call to say, not knowing anything about your particular

situation, but fatty acid malabsorption is a malabsorption issue. It is nothing

to be scared about, but the trigger for the malabsorption needs to be

investigated..i.e. food sensitivity, allergy, yeast, phenol issue, etc.

Introducing solids to a baby for the first time on SCD, the first foods are

best introduced one at a time, and waiting a full two weeks to introduce another

if there is no reaction from the first one. Actually, that was the advice I got

from our physician before we even started SCD. Food sensitivities, allergies and

triggers do not necessarily pop up all at once, some bodies have a tolerance to

a certain amount before physical or behavoiral changes occur, the noticable ones

at least.

Often times, constipation for us has been a sign of overgrowing yeast. Bananas

and pears can often be yeast feeders as well. I always have found it most

helpful in the past to go back to the intro diet, in her case, back to breast

milk or formula only, for at least two weeks or when poops are normal again, and

gradually add one food in every two weeks. Keeping a food journal in the process

can be handy, especially for future challenges.

Yes, this is true, I second this idea that Suzanne has, lamb is the main meat my

children eat as well. Slow cooking for many hours at a very low temp will make

the meat even more digestable and tender (and more delicious), as lamb is

expecially susceptable to tough peptides being formed from high heat/fast

cooking. I have always read that lamb is the most digestable meat on the planet.

Ground lamb has shorter cooking time, cooking it on low heat is still

applicable.

You can get ground lamb at most grocery stores, and unlike most

other meats, it tends not to be adulterated with lots of additives.

On top of that, lamb is grass-fed, not grain-fed, which leads to a

healthier animal. There's not a lot that producers can do to mess up

a sheep, the animals don't lend themselves to mass-production. I

don't buy organic lamb though, since it's hugely expensive, though I

wish I could afford to.

It's a great source of iron, which will become more important to her

as she gets a little older.
