Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 <<Also, could greens beans come through as black chunks in his stool?>> If you're seeing " chunks " of undigested food, he is not chewing his food well enough. You may need to puree everything until he is able to chew more thoroughly, or until his system is able to handle things like this better.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I can't tell if its food or not. He isn't eating anything that would look like that. Thats why I was wondering if green beans could turn black after going through the digestive system or if its still just die off. He won't eat stuff pureed. He is barely eating the fruit cooked. I try to cut in up in as little pieces as possible. > > <<Also, could greens beans come through as black chunks in his stool?>> > > If you're seeing " chunks " of undigested food, he is not chewing his food well enough.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 We have been using baking soda to wash our clothes and we haven't used any fabric softener in a couple of years. I also make all our cleaning products and we don't wear perfume/cologne or let anyone handle him that does. He takes cod liver oil for the efa's. > try changing the laundry soap to something that doesn't cause > allergies and don't use any fabric softener. > Also, add in some essential fatty acid if you haven't already done > it. > , mom to broderick, asd, scd 11 months > > > > > > For those moms doing SCD with their kids because of eczema, do you > > notice that your kids get itchier when they are hungry.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi , If you honestly cannot tell if it is food or not, I wanted to suggest another possibility. If your son is fairly new to SCD, it seems possible that his system is clearing itself out. I have heard some gross stories about very disturbing " things " coming out of children when their bodies finally begin to clear out. It wasn't always " die-off " , but just the clearing out of gunk that has been in the digestive tract for a while. I read one account of a parent whose child passed gobs of mucous for 3 weeks simply because that is what had coated the intestines all that time he was ill. The child finally started to heal and was " shedding " this stuff as a result. Obviously, keep a watchful eye on the situation. You may pick up more clues as you go along here. But I just wanted to present the possibility that this may be a good thing. Sometimes you have to endure some nasty things before you " step forward. " If the situation does not improve (and you still cannot determine whether it is food or not), you may want to examine other possibilities. Enzymestuff.com has been invaluable to me when I am playing " poop detective. " Look under the " studying stools " section. Jeni Lynn > > I can't tell if its food or not.
