Re: 7 months and still no solid poop!

[Guest guest]

Dear Molly

we had same issues too

at the begginng,

intermittent good poops on SCD

(especially if food was not pureed, he would have mushy stools

with lots of strands in it)

and then we did the Great Plans Lab Microbial OAT urine lab

and he showed c.difficile and yeast overgrowth

after hesitating the use of drugs for a looooong time

I finally gave in and let him have compounded (no sugar but

has stevioside sweetener, thus SCD legal)

metronidazole to kill clostridia

and fluconazole to kill yeast

and VIOLA!!!!

(after 1-2 days of terrible slurry poops)

he had beautifully formed poops daily!

I imagine that those drugs address c.difficile

and also fluconazole brought down the yeast to

a good level that is currently kept under controlled with SCD

good luck

What is he eating?

How is the food prepared?

Any supplements or meds?

Well...he did start with the intro. diet and we progressed slowly to

stage 1 and then to stage 2 foods with all fruits/veggies cooked and

deseeded. But after about 6 months I did stop cooking the fruit. He

has gone through phases with food. But this is his main rotation of

foods: green beans, squash, carrots, pears, apples, bananas, yogurt,

pancakes, eggs, SCD bread, and some baked goods (not much though since

he is not big on them), peanut or almond butter and honey in his

yogurt and on his pancakes. As for supplements, which as far as I

know are all SCD legal, he takes a Kirkman multivitamin and mineral

supp., Kirkman lemon/lime CLO, Kirkman probiotic (Lacto./Acidopholus),

mb12, and Houstons SCD legal enzymes.

Thanks for your help,

After you stopped cooking the fruit did you notice much/or any change

in his stool?

How soon after the intro did you introduce nuts/nut butters etc.?

Have you had any stool tests done?
