Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I'd have to say that the most obvious issue to me is poor chewing. If he had chewed the nut well, there would not have been a recognizable chunk in his stool. So, I'd just be sure to chop them up much finer if he's not able to chew well, even with reminders. I still have to cue Katera to chew.... and it's especially tricky if something like a piece of nut is mixed into other foods. If it's just ONE small pecan quarter or something, I can pretty much supervise her and control what's going on.... but if things are mixed, she tends to swallow without chewing well. patti Nut pieces in stool We have given iel pecan halves and a few whole almond here and there in the last couple of weeks to see how he did with them. I never noticed any behavior reactions, and no apparent stool reaction...which means c or d for me since I can't see if undigested food is in his stools. My husband was home today, and helped iel after he had used the toilet. He said that there was a piece of undigested nut in the stool. Here's what I'm wondering. I made the toffee candy recipe from pecan bread, and the vanilla candy recipe from BTVC yesterday. We were at a party today, and I wanted to be able to give iel candy since the other kids would be eating pizza, candy, and cake...those poor kids and parents are destroying their gut and don't even know it. Anyway, could it be the combination of the nuts and honey or poor chewing that would've caused the problem? Should I just play it safe and cut out the large pieces of nuts for another month or so? He does fine with the nut butter and nut flour, but those aren't large pieces, of course? What does anyone think?

I am going to answer on experience and speculation. 1. iel can be encouraged to chew things thoroughly. 2. I am a texture eater and like things I can bite into. I had dental problems a few months ago and also had to prepare for a colonoscope procedure by having irrigation instead if taking the laxative. The thrapist noted large pieces of starwberry in the stool. i was not chewing my food properly. So that is poosibilty one. 3. It may be linked to the length of time on the diet. Nut pieces are advanced food. Carol F. SCD 6 years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
