This is probably a question better asked in Pecanbread, but I believe I have

read there that green (solid) poop is a very good sign, attributed to die-off.

were told we only needed to restrict to all SCD legal foods, not do the stages.

We did that for a year and saw some amazing improvements. However, his GI

issues never reconciled. He hadn't had a normal formed stool since he was 2

1/2. We restarted the diet back on 2/8/10 and are just about to start Stage 2

foods. And we have again seen amazing cognitive/language/social improvements.

His stools have also gotten formed and less fetid-smelling, but for some reason

are still army-green.

Hi Stacie,

Not sure if you received any help/answers.  That’s usually

die-off and yuck stuff (bacterial changes occurring in the gut, all good, but

affects the look of the stool) coming out when it’s green.  You may want

to join the pecanbread list….which is all moms w/ kids on the diet, if

you haven’t already. So nice to hear  you’re having great results

with the diet.
