Re: apple/pears causing Pooh????

That might depend.... of course, everyone is different. Did you use fresh, raw

apple? I guess bananas might cause the opposite, depending on whether they were

ripe... or slightly green.

I'm just going by what has been reported over the years here. Also, applesauce

and bananas are among the handful of bland foods that are generally recommended

to be eaten first by pediatricians for children who have been going through a

bout of vomiting and diarrhea (such as with a flu bug). So, I suppose it just

depends.

apple/pears causing Pooh????

I emailed earlier about pears possibly causing runny pooh. Patti you

said apples and bananas are supposed to do the opposite and firm up

pooh, but after talking with my husband, he reminded me that we used

to give G , who is ASD, applejuice and apples to make him pooh when he

was constipated. (he often had constipation prior to the diet, pooping

every other day or every 2 days) If that didn't work we went to pears

and then prune juice. That was always the recommendation by

pediatrician, friends and good ol grandma. It seems to me that the

one thing my child does enjoy, his apple/pear sauce, may be

contributing to his runny pooh. Never in the past would he have eaten

such quantities of apples/pears, especially morning noon and night for

9 days.

Just need clarification. Our pooh has gone from grey to tan/carmel

color within the last 2 days so maybe something good is going on.

Yes we use fresh, raw apple. Steamed of course, then mixed with steamed pear

in the blender for applesauce. My bananas are almost ready (praise the Lord).

That's the only thing he will eat for breakfast, refuses every pancake i've

tried. I am going to keep him on the apple/pear sauce, as like you said, it is

bland. He ate some cheese tonight about an ounce or so. I think if I can get a

little more cheese in him along with the amount of chicken he is eating, the

apples and pears should be counter-acted if they were possibly doing anything.

You guys have been doing this LONG before me. I trust what you are saying.

If it wasn't for you guys, I'd be lost. His doctor just recommended the diet to

us and gave us the pecanbread website. I've been on my own since then with

regards to doctor's input. If i hadn't found you guys, my poor G would be

MESSED up cause I would have just followed the book with little knowledge on how

it should be modified for kids on the ASD spectrum. I know I say this all the

time, but you guys are really a blessing in my life. My prayers always include

asking God to direct me to the people who can help G and I really feel like he

brought me to you guys for a reason!! Thanks

My son has been on SCD for a couple of years. His diarrhea started back last

week. We removed apples from his diet, and the diarrhea cleared up. Everyone's

different, I guess, but apples were the cause of his diarrhea.

,

Were the apples your son was eating raw? Or cooked? That makes a big difference

for some.

They were raw. Maybe someday we'll try them cooked.
