Yay! Poop...(not for the faint at heart)

[Guest guest]

So for those who have been following our progress - tonight we had the

first BM since starting SCD on Wednesday. In the past (pre-SCD) we

have had 1-6 very mushy toxic smelling stools each day. We went 3 days

w/out a poop since starting SCD - FORMED finally, but the

stench...WOAH - something is dying/died in there. Typically I've heard

of die-off poo's having black flecks - but this was totally speckled in

white. Any other poo peepers know if that is also die-off? I'm trying

to discern between typical die off and not digesting something properly.

Amy w/Mason 3.5 ASD - SCD 3 days and who will someday kill me for

talking about his poo on the internet!

Hooooooooray!!- the flecks could be related to undigested food or die

off...many die off poos are foul smelling, and can come in many

appearances..hard to say.. Die off typically does go on for a while. The author

of the book The Yeast Connection, Dr Cook.. makes a point of saying when

we are putting out the fire in the gut(die off) it takes a while to clear out

the

smoke... I think this is a great way to think of it..

Best wishes for more poop!...;-)

Take care

amy,

i have no idea if you son's poos with white flexs are the flecks of

yeast but i thought it might be worth noting that under a microcope

and in a petri dish in the laboratory, yeast cells are white. so i

wouldnt be surprised if white flex in the poo were chunks of yeast.

wouldnt if be nice if you were seeing chunks of yeast leaving his

body !

OOOH - I hope you are right!! We are still seeing white and black

flecks in his poo and if it's undigested food I can't tell what it

would be that he isn't digesting properly. I wish I had a microscope

so I could super poo peep!

You know, Mason typically covers his ears when the bus pulls up to

our house. It has air brakes and makes a really loud hissing sound

when it stops - Mason has always been very sensitive to that, but

today he didn't do it. He hopped on the bus w/out being

apprehensive at all. I've commonly heard of ear covering associated

w/yeast overgrowth - so now I wonder if it's all related! Wouldn't

that just be the most amazing thing ever!
