Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 We waited 3 months to get into this big GI from Wisconsin Children's Hospital for my son and his advice to us was loose bowels are normal in toddlers, he'll grow out of it. And, that we need to expand his diet - not that what he is eating is bad, it's just weird. It isn't socially acceptable not to let your child eat what other kids are having. Needless to say, my husband and I just sat there, smiled, and resolved to continue our son on the SCD diet. We won't be seeing this GI again. Anyway, after 2 months on the diet (stage 1 with some stage 2) Caleb is starting to have some formation to his stools. We either have part formed with loose around it or a small, formed stool followd by a loose diaper 15 minutes later. Anyone else experience this or have some input? I am rotating his foods to see if there is a food sensitivity, but our MD has him on high vitamin C at the moment and I have read that C can loosen stools. Thank you! Liz - Mom to Caleb age 23mo.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Hi Liz, I am so glad that your son's digestion has improved! Vitamin C can produce loose stools. Decrease the amount until the stools are firm. What are you feeding your son? Are the veggies and fruit cooked, peeled and seeded? Any manufactured foods? Supplements?

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Liz, I can't answer your questions, but all I have to say is way to go to you guys. I hope he'll be one of those MDs that will be dumb founded and made a believer when you show him your child's progress months down the road.
