Re: 1 month update QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

[Guest guest]

I so agree about the diet getting easier. I'm glad things are going

so well for your son! We just passed 1 month on the 4th. Just have

some questions comments for anyone.

I have the same question. My daughter and I have experienced more

gurgling tummy and odd stools. I thought maybe we moved too quickly

again, and were going to go back to the intro again. Is there

something magical about the month/5week mark that starts a die off?

I didn't really think it was die off since we've not had a big die

off reaction (other than my headaches the first 2 weeks). But could

it be? I also thought maybe we might just have a little bug.

I read where Elaine wrote that at 3 months people notice

a " regression " but haven't found anything about a month.

We had die-off/regression at 7 weeks, 11 weeks, 3 months, and 5 months. My

son's bowel signs were exactly the same except for 5 months it was only

behavior. If there is " sand " in the stools that has been our best indicator. If

you go back to the intro and stools are still strange, I would say it's a

regression.
