Guest guest Posted April 7, 2001 Report Share Posted April 7, 2001 My son has had loose stools for over a week. I honestly do not believe he has cheated on his diet. I have gone over everything he has eaten and can find nothing new. I have taken away fruits and fruit juices except for bananas. Bananas are supposed to be good for diarrhea. The cutting out of fruit seems to have helped the bedwetting, but the poor guy has so little he can eat now. He is losing weight, and I just don't know what could be causing the loose stools. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 8, 2001 Report Share Posted April 8, 2001 Thanks for your reply. I don't think he has gotten any gluten anywhere, but as he is 8 years old and has a mind of his own, it is hard to be totally sure. I have explained over and over about the diet and the many sources of gluten and casein. He has a pretty good understanding of it all, but he is still a kid. I have put flax seed in some of his muffins but not so much since he has had the loose stools. He is being treated for yeast and has been since last summer. I recently realized that the liquid Nystatin was not gfcf so switched to the tablets. They are ok aren't they? That is the one thing he is taking now that I am not real sure about. > Are you currently treating yeast? die off maybe if you are?
