stool frequency / consistency

[Guest guest]

Hello friends -

Since starting SCD our sons stools have improved quite

a bit, but aren't quite to normal consistency or

frequency. As predicted by SCD, his stools have gone

from mostly clayish masses to nearly formed logs, but

with a little bit of mushiness. This isn't all

together unexpected, as he is still getting small

amounts of illegal carbs as we gradually bring him

down off rice 'milk'.

What I'm finding strange, however, is that we are down

to about 1 stool every other day. Did anyone else

experience a lessening in stool generation when

starting on SCD? Luke was pretty much a one stool a

day guy on GF/CF for the past year.

His diet primarily includes:

ripe bananas

well cooked pears

eggs

a variety of meats such as bacon, chicken, steak, and

turkey.

He's eating a LOT of bananas, two a day probably, and

I'd think that this would be enough to have him

regular, at the least, but we aren't seeing it.

We've also seen some significant cognitive (pointing)

and fine motor improvements since starting SCD. (Yes!)

Any insight is appreciated.
