Is it green in color or the mustard yellow? If yellow, not green, that is

normal, though the rash could be a slight yeast problem. Is she getting

probiotics? It does pass from breast milk to baby if you are taking it, but

maybe some in expressed milk if she will take a bottle will help with that.

I would avoid the high allergen foods as well for preventive measures like

peanuts and shellfish. If she has the green, foul stools there could be a food

sensitivity there that you might have to address with an elimination diet. Eggs

and cow's milk protein (which would include the SCD legal dairy) are problematic

with many babies. I had to avoid them when I bfed my babies.

Ugh! I think my daughter is having trouble, too!

My 20 month-old NT daughter seems to be having digestive issues. She

has been on SCD since she was 8 mos. old. My three-year-old has been

on the diet for one year as well. He was the push to start the diet

and I put my daughter on to avoid what my son went through and also

because she was having terrible painful, sometimes bloody diaper rash

that spread all down her thighs. The rash cleared up but for quite

some time she has been having VERY loose stools up to 3X a day, and

the occasional pimply rash on her bum. She is breastfed. I do SCD

as well. I don't know what I should expect from her stoolwise since

she is breastfed. Does this sound normal or should I maybe consider

cutting out some of the more obvious potential problems (nuts, eggs,

etc., etc.)?

Her poops worry me, but apart from that she is developing right on

track for a kid her age (she talks alot, interacts great with her

brothers, imitates everything, does pretend play, etc., etc.). She is

also a healthy height and weight, at least I think. She is about

33ish inches and 30 pds.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

molly
