The green color is definitely die off. That's a good sign, and very

exciting.

Hmmm...all this time we've been assuming that green-colored stools was because

of all the spinach and green beans we are eating; those are almost the only

veggies right now with the occasional butternut squash thrown in and sometimes

cucumber (can't do carrots; one of my kids tested allergic). So, is it actually

die-off, and not just a reflection of the content of the diet? I'd LOVE

clarification on this, because if it really is die-off, we will be jumping for

joy since we have not seen anything else that could be die-off. Help, anyone?

Six weeks seems like green die off

stools should be gone, but I guess it's possible. Then again, it could be

due to the green vegies that you eat so much of. I'm not sure about this

case.

Hi Tumpa,

Green is good

" During the first week or so, it often happens that things look a

bit worse. 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 affects the color of the

stool. "

Hi Lynn,

Green stools could indicate die off. They're eating more than just

the spinach and green beans right?

Sheila,

For vegetables, those two are the main ones. We use some butternut squash. My

ASD son tested IgG allergic to carrots and tomatoes, so we have not been using

them. We use some cucumber, but not much. So for vegetables, it is mainly

spinach and green beans. Of course we are eating other foods, just not much

else for vegetables - and they are eating a lot of those two vegetables. So my

assumption has been that the dark green colored stools is because of the

vegetables.

Hi Lynn,

If actually more green than brown i'd think die off.

Have you had the green stools since starting the diet?

Have they been mushy that whole time?

Did you start with the intro and gradually add food?

Yes, we started with intro and gradually added foods. The green stools have

been off and on since starting (7 weeks ago). We alternate between mushy and

constipated. My ASD son is very constipated. My 4yr old seems to be getting

firmer stools than he used to have. The toddler is still consistently mushy.

If your four year old's stools were mushy before SCD and now are

firming up I'd think that he's headed in the right direction despite

the green stools.

> The toddler is still consistently mushy.

If the toddler's stools haven't changed except gone green I'd

consider pulling the spinach and green beans . He may not be

tolerating them. Is your toddler also allergic to carrots? What

about peeled cooked zucchini and more squash for your toddler?

Thanks Sheila; I'll try the veggie change for the little one.
