CONGRATULATIONS! Elaine Gottschall told us green stools are a sign

that there is a good change.

Here is the quote from Elaine:

Getting back to the first week or so on SCD: it often happens that

things look a bit worse and what frightens many Moms and Dads is

that the color of the stool can become bizarre shades of green and

yellow. This color change is a good sign: bacterial metabolism is

CHANGING. The change is affecting the bile salts and, therefore, the

color change.

> On Saturday I put him back on the intro diet, and he has been on

it strictly for the last six days. Aside from one day, when he had

a slightly firm stool (but full of carrot chunks, which you guys

advised me about), he has had yucky greenish-black pudding-like

stools, often with some sandy texture in them.
