Re: Re: Will you analyze this poopy?

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.
