Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hi! I've gotten such good advice, I need to ask more questions... My almost 3 yr old ASD guy had stopped all diarrhea when we went gluten free back in Feb. We would know within hours if he had been exposed since then. We are now on Day 17 of SCD. My question is he is having diarrhea-like BMs again. Not real runny, but not at all normal, and kind of strange smelling too. It seems to be almost a rancid sweet smell. (Sorry, I know TMI). He has one BM like this every other day. (Nothing in-between). Prior to SCD he had regular BMs every day like clockwork, none of this every other day stuff. He also has HUGE reddish-dark circles under his eyes and very fould breath. He does eat a lot of banana shakes (with other fruits and veggies included), but otherwise he would truly starve. The diarrhea seems to coincide with the start of the probiotic from GI health. He has taken probiotics in the past though. Could this new one have caused another round of yeast die-off? Is SCD hurting him? He also takes Houston SCD compliant zyme prime and peptizyde. (He's been on them for 3.5 months, and we've seen nothing but positive effects from them.) Would the goat yogurt be better then the probiotic? Or both? I don't want to totally stop attcking the yeast and stop the probiotic if this will clear up. I know yeast is a huge problem. The goat yogurt has done wonders for my 19 mo old, but she is not ASD. They were both GF/CF prior to SCD. When can I introduce pecan butter? And as a side note...my fingertips are peeling, sore, and prune-like on the last week of SCD....any ideas? Thank you for your help!!

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I would assume it's die off and no, it shouldn't hurt him. Remember that day 17 is very early in the diet. Also remember that switching to a new therapy isn't the same thing as being healed yet, so you may have good days and bad days until the healing is complete. : D Evenstar wrote: Hi!

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hi, Tonja, Die-off from the probiotic is my guess, plus die-off from the change in diet itself--it's only day 17. You can use goat yogurt and pro-biotic both but we recommend not starting the goat yogurt until 3-4 months into the diet if you were previously CF so you can tell a yogurt reaction from all of this initial bad poop and all. Let all of this clear up before you consider trying pecan butter. You have to be able to know if he has a reaction to it. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
