More sandy poo related questions....

[Guest guest]

Jessie's poos over the last two days are completely sand free but

are much, much more liquidy. She's now having two bm's a day and

they're very loose. I have started her on S.boulaardis (just one

capsules in the evening) and have upped her l.acidophilus to one

whole capsule a day (which I think is around 3 billion CFU's) -

prior to that she was only having 1/2 a capsule. I haven't gone

back to the intro diet as I just wanted to see what would happen

with S.boulaardis. Anyway so like I said, no more sand, just watery

poos. Could this be die off of some kind?? Should I expect this to

ease up or should I stop all supplements, go back to intro diet and

then move forward again?? Oh and last night she slept terribly, was

awake every 2 hours and refused a day sleep today. First thing this

morning she had a bm and it was horrendous so I related that to her

bad night.

Thanks in advance,

> To check for clostridium bacteria you can do a Urine Metabolic

(MAP) from Genova Diagnostics. If you have elivated DHPPA which is

a malapsorption marker then you have clostridium. I think it is a

couple of hundred dollars to run the test but it will also show what

nutrients you are missing and how your Krebs cycle works. (how you

turn the food you eat into the energy your body/brain needs to run)

It is an interesting test.

It may be die off, from the increase in L. acidophilus. Are you

using the epsom salt baths? - many find they help pull out the toxins.

If her symptoms don't approve in the next few days I'd suggest

reducing the L. acidophilus a bit at then slowly increase it again.

It seems that a full capsule may be a bit too much for her body at

the moment. First try the epsom salt baths and see if that helps

ease her die off symptoms.
