calcium

[Guest guest]

I have started giving my daughter the kirkman calcium powder-the one

without anything added. She is on about 1/8 of a teaspoon, which is

about 250 mg. I also give her the 1/8 tsp of scd goat yogurt and 125

mg of vitamin c-also from kirkman. I am wondering if any of you had

found the calcium powder and if you had found ways around that. My

daughter eats a whole lot of well steamed squash and peas (I just

added), as well as green beans (do I need to take out the beans

inside), she also eats quite a bit of lamb. I have tried adding lots

of other meats, as well as fruits and she has a monstrous 24 hrs, so

I am sticking with what she is on and adding only stage 2-3 steamed

peeled veggies.

So I can't add fruit to move things through, but are there certain

veggies that help more than others? She poops a bit like a deer-lots

of little balls. Some days more than others, but every day (unless

she reacts to something I have added). Any clues as to what the

proportions of squash/green beans to lamb should be? Should I be

trying veggies more often, it's usually the meat I try to add-I am

scared she will become allergic to lamb-like all of the many other

foods.

Thanks to you all,

Since she is constipated I would try to increase her vegetable

intake. If she tolerates any fruit this may help relieve some

constipation also.

Have you seen the constipation protocol at the BTVC website?

Is there any chance she has yeast? Yeast overgrowth can worsen/cause

constipation.
