Re: Problem with lots of gas, watery stool frequent..intro diet

[Guest guest]

Kristie,

Do you mean that you're now on day 8 of the intro diet, since you restarted

intro? If not, how many days has it been since you re-started? Intro should

not be done for more than just a couple of days..... five days MAX. When did he

start feeling super cranky and having the other symptoms.

This sounds like classic die-off symptoms. Are you giving him baths with epsom

salts? This will help. Also, supplements of activated charcoal can help sop up

toxins and make him more comfortable.

I am not aware of any Hansen's juices being legal. I would stick to the

Welch's.

Problem with lots of gas, watery stool frequent..intro

diet

Okay all please help. We have my son on day eight and we are on the

intro diet. (we did several days first of almond flours and such but

others instructed me to go back to the intro diet.) Here is my

problem. My son is on these foods:

chicken pancakes

chicken soup/broth

hamburger patties,

(won't touch gelatin)

eggs scrambled.

He does drink juice heavily diluted with water. The juices he has

are: white grape juice from Welches and or Hansens. The boy loves to

drink! He drinks often through the day and I try to dilute more and

more with water.

He has been super cranky. He has been heavily perservating which is

unlike him (only wants to watch Ice Age 1 or 2 for instance and

cries and screams when we go out all of the sudden..but it is cold

here in So California, and when ABA instructors come here.)

He is having heavy gas throughout the day and frequent stools that

are watery. Would someone please email me back and help me on what

to do! Or give me a call

We are on 2 months now with my son and he loves to drink as well. I have come

to the conclusion that he is doing so to fill himself up. He still asks for

waffles, cheese (he's GFCF too) and other things he can't have. So because he

doesn't want to eat what is available, he will instead drink. When we come home

from the sitter's house sometimes I fill his cup up 3 times (mostly water of

course).

The super cranky is probably because his little body is going through

detox---and quite frankly - it sucks! Gavin had the shakes, was fussy etc... He

also starting doing more of the behaviors that I started the diet for- stimming,

zoning out, perseverating. Patti explained, probably better than I will here,

that as the stuff is being starved out in his gut, it starts to go into panic

mode and producing more trying to stay alive, hence the more bad stuff kicking

around the more behaviors you are going to see.

We also had a phase of " gassiness " and woooo was is powerful. We still have

occasional days of stinkiness. I was told not to be really alarmed by it. Some

may have more info on this than I. The eggs may be contributing if he is eating

alot.

We didn't have watery stools, however, they did go " watery mashed potato

style " but became normal about week 3.

We experienced most everything you are, you are on the right track. Everyone

on this site is EXCEPTIONAL in helping us " newbies "

Pretty good, Becky!

We assume a couple of things are happening. One is that gut pathogens will

certainly send out their little chemical " messages " telling our kids to " GO FIND

FOOD " (meaning, the foods THEY need to survive)... so cravings will kick in big

time for some. They are DESPERATE!

Secondly, the bacteria also give off extra toxin as they die.... just releasing

toxin they normally produce all the time, but when they croak altogether, you

get a big influx of that same toxin flooding the system.

For whatever reason,..... these kids definitely have to deal with extra toxins

as these big bad guys take their last gasp. But, most importantly, it's

temporary.

Thanks all for your wonderul words of wisdom. I also got a phone

on track. I will change over to Welches as well pronto. I am

introducing a new fruit tomorrow (bananas)and will every 2-3 days.

Thank you all for the support!!!!! Much appreciated!!!! I know this

is what we need to do for my guy and so we press on.

Kristie,

I wanted to also mention that you might want to introduce an essential fatty

acid supplement(EFA). Nordic Naturals makes good quality products, and I've

heard that some on our list use a brnd called Green Pastures. We saw increased

eye contact and language when we started it. A good fish oil supplement will

cross the blood/brain barrier and helps to reduce inflammation as well. Not to

mention that EFAs are essential for brain development. Nordic Naturals Complete

Omega 3,6,9 is a good one that covers everything. You can probably get it at a

local health food store, or you can order it from Kirkman, Nordic Naturals

themselves, and a host of other places. If you want to list any other meds or

supps that he's taking to see if others can help you determine whether or not

they are SCD legal or maybe even undermining to SCD, feel free. There are a

couple of moms on this list that are especially gifted at that kind of thing.
