Serious setback-help

September 11, 2007

I recently posted about my son's wonderful progress. Well, he got sick

recently, throwing up off and on for several days straight. I felt a

little ill the first night as well. I'm not sure if it was just

something going around or if it was the jack style goat cheese we

tried for the first time that day. When he threw up the first time

there were little round globules of the cheese in it, although the

snack that we had after the cheese was not present at all. Does it

take longer to digest the cheese? Would this be normal to still have

big globs of it in the digestive system many hours later (about 8

hours)? Does anyone know what cultures are used in jack style cheese?

Could that have caused the throwing up? Slowly his poop has started

getting less formed. Now it is so bad and runny that I just threw away

an entire outfit, it was that bad! Could all of this have been the

jack style cheese? We were doing fine with the cheddar style, but the

store was out so I thought I would try the jack. Bad bad bad decision,

I guess.

Was the jack cheese aged sufficiently. This may be a coincidence but

my gut says it could be a reaction to the Jack cheese. Some Jack

cheese is aged insufficiently. Some may have illegals added.

Try the intro for a few days to get the D under control. Once the d

stops readd all of your safe foods again.

Hi Sheila. Thanks for your input. I think perhaps the cheese wasn't

aged properly. I looked on their website, and they actually label this

cheese as " fresh jack cheese. " Although the package I bought is just

labeled " country jack cheese " and doesn't say anything about being

fresh or aged or not. It is a harder cheese, similar to the

consistency of the cheddar, so I didn't think anything of it when I

bought it. I certainly would not have thought it was " fresh. "

The ingredients are: pasteurized cultured goat milk, salt, microbial

enzymes.

We'll go back to a really basic diet again (not much of a change for

us, sigh) and see if we can clear up the D. We will basically do the

intro diet plus the banana. The banana really always seems to help

firm things up.
