Re: Two weeks and seeing changes

Hi Debbie,

You could try epsom salt baths and/or activated charcoal to see if that

deals with die off.

What is he eating? How's it prepared?

He eats:

Broiled meat patties (buffalo, pork, ostrich)

Squash buttons - acorn or butternut squash and egg and honey

Pecan muffins - pecan butter, squash, soda, honey

1/2 cup goat yogurt

Peeled and cooked peaches and golden delicious apple

Cooked mango and refrozen and very ripe banana

Watered down White Grape Juice

I just started the pecan muffins, and I don't allow more than 2 a

day. He usually only eats 1/2 to 1 banana a day.

These are the only things he really likes. I've tried some other

things like chicken pancakes, but he hated them. He doesn't tolerate

carrots at all, and I tried pureed green beans in his meat, but he

wouldn't eat it. He seems to actually be better today. Not as hyper

and silly. He followed directions without a problem this morning and

seemed to be talking more again. I did do an epsom salts bath last

night which may have helped out. I plan to do that each night now.

It does seem the epsom salt bath may have helped with the die off

symptoms. If his stools don't continue to slowly improve let me know

and we can revisit what he's eating and see if it needs to be tweaked.
