New to SCD - Change in stool

[Guest guest]

After three days on the intro diet, we began giving our son cooked,

peeled apples (cooked with cider, honey and cinnamon). For the

initial 3 days on the intro diet, and 2 days with apple added, he had

well-formed stools that weren't all that smelly. This morning I added

almond muffins and just a little while ago (4pm) he passed a formed

but soft stool that was pretty smelly. Do you think the almond

muffins could have had an impact so quickly (he has had 4 today), or

is there a possibility he had too much apple? He had apples for 1

snack and with each meal.

Welcome to the list!

Almond flour should not be introduced immediately following the intro

diet. It is too difficult to digest.

Also, 4 muffins is too many for a child. The limit for a child is the

equivalent of 2 muffins per day (this includes the nut flour that

would be in muffins, cookies, cakes, pancakes or bread).

SCD is not meant to be a diet that is high in nut intake.

So, please remove the muffins, go back and introduce more

easy-to-digest foods. Peeled and cooked fruits and veggies are the

best things to introduce after the intro diet.

After a few days on SCD, you would actually typically expect changes in the

stool, including " smelliness " , or things like various colors, grainy, speckly,

stringy.... any of the above.... as signs that bad gut pathogens were dying off

and taking their leave. His system probably needs to detoxify... or you would

not be on SCD in the first place. So look at this as a sign of GOOD changes.

Almond flour definitely would contribute to a softer stool. Four muffins sounds

like way too many to start with.

I think you should hold off nut muffins until later and limit them to two a day.
