Moving in the right direction

[Guest guest]

Well, we had our first formed bm! That was exciting. The only problem

is that he didn't have a bm yesterday and he seemed uncomfortable. He

would lean over the couch, lay on the couch or floor, he even fell

asleep on the floor. His cheeks were bright red too. I thought he

might be coming down with something since everyone we know has some

kind of cold or something. This morning he ate a good breakfast, then

started again with the crying out like he had cramps. All afternoon he

cried off and on and wanted me to sit with him on the couch. So, I gave

him a very small amount of mag. cit. and vit. C. He finally had his bm

around 7:00 p.m., but he was really crying. He has been eating acorn

squash, but for the last two days I've used butternut squash because my

store was out of acorn. Today his cheeks and chin are red and rashy,

and I think it really gave him lots of gas pains. I knew I remembered

that he didn't tolerate it in the past, but I couldn't remember why I

thought that he didn't. I'm going back to the acorn squash, and hope

the bm's continue to improve even more - without the pain and crying.
