Help!! Years of Constipation. Straight to Diarrhea

[Guest guest]

Help. My daughter has been constipated most of her young life (3

years). She has been doing SCD for about a week. She stools god

softer right from the start. Then they got softer. Now she has green

diarrhea and lots of it. This does not seem to be a better thing.

Does anyone know if this is to be expected and how I should handle it?

Thanks! Annette

This is most likely releated to bacterial die-off and will be temporary. The

are BIG changes that go on in the beginning. She needs to clear out a lot of

toxins and waste products. I highly, HIGHLY recommend soup broth.... especially

any you can make from bones and cook at least 24 hrs. There are lots of vital

nutrients, mineral and protein (from collagen, etc.) that come from the bones

that are very healing to the gut.

You're using all cooked fruits and vegetables right now, right?

My son had severe constipation before we went GFCF a year ago... He

immediately began to have green diarrhea. It didn't go away until we

added Saccharomyes Boullardi(sic) and other probiotics. He continued

to have ups and downs with his behavior and bowel movements-a year

later I know starches are the culprit. I found out that eggs make my

sons stool green and loose also. Potatoes causes immediate problems.

He has a lot of reactions to different foods so.....all i can say is

start off with the most basic of diet....and I wouldnt recommend

adding foods that are common food allergens. It is hard to put your

child on such a restricted diet initially..but it will make it easier

to weed out problem food items in the future.
