taking any magnesium? That will help a bit. I recommend the magnesium

taurate. My dd takes it. It will help things move out a little faster

so you won't see the black tarry stool. For my dd, the black, tarry

stools were too much protein, Constipation, ammonia due to all the

protein and the goat yogurt helped with the C as well. The black could

be occult blood but, if it comes out neg. tomarrow, I would put him

through an all-natural parasite cleanse.

Jenn,

IMO A parent should be inclined to accept the advice an approved SCD

counselor such as Patti on such matters, rather than relying upon well

meaning suggestions from the general membership.

You suggest protocols and some are outside the province of the diet.

Some of the " cleanses " advocated by naturopaths can be contrary to SCD.

I had personal experience in an instance of two such cleanses which

used rice based formulas. At the time they were advocated, I had just

started SCD and was angry at my regular family doctor for responding to

my sudden immune problems by questioning my sanity so was inclined to

follow the naturopath without question. The treatment was useless.

As a " quasi moderator, " ( translated it just means " veteran, " ) I shy

away from trying to untangle the puzzle of the many supplements

advocated,. I take only one, magnesium. I am going to repeat that

Elaine made it clear that we are not doctors of medicine and are not

qualified to advise on medical matters which this could well be.

If I had a young child that presented that symptom, I would see a

doctor and quickly. We cannot say the child in question has the same

thing as yours had. When my og had black tarry stools, something was

definitely wrong and I acted quickly by going to our vet. I wanted to

be safe than sorry. In that case it turned out there was a serious

gastric condition. Acting quickly was a life saver.

Also, I would not advise anyone to eliminate fruit entirely from SCD.

I wasn't speaking of a cleanse by a ND or a doc for that matter. What I mean by

cleansing is using clove oil & a carrier to the bottom of feet at night or

probio's. Something like this. There is a lot of reading into what people say

here and not enough clarification BEFORE jumping to conclusions. I did apologize

to Patti and shouldn't be grilled any longer. I am experienced giving my child

supps. EXPERIENCE and knowing your child well can help you figure out

nutritional deficiencies and these kids have those problems as well. I only

tried to help offering what we have done. I NEVER claimed to be a doc. I

refferred Kristie to the best GI I know. You'll need to relax! Jenn L
