Re: how many bananas...

[Guest guest]

I'm curious what you think about banana quantity as well. My 2 year

old is crazy for bananas. I pulled them for a week because even

though they were ripe I was scared that there was a possibility they

were adding to the constipation. But he has had 2 a day for a two

days (and would eat the whole bunch if I didn't put them under lock

and key) and today he had 3 small-ish bm's and one very large one so I

feel like we're heading in the right direction even with bananas. He

is eating 3 spinach-sicles a day and 3 or 4 squash-sicles. I gave him

a choice between the two this evening and he actually chose the

spinach! Another interesting thing that happened was that I offered

him some peaches and he turned them down flat. He LOVED peaches

before we started this diet just a few weeks ago. So I pulled out the

pears and he ate a whole bowl full. Maybe just a fluke, but I wonder

if he somehow knew that peaches were not a good choice yet. He even

attempted to wave bye to me this evening. It has been months and

months since he has done that.

I wonder if the little white things in her stools are yeast coming out. When

you say her stools are still very soft, do you mean peanutbutter consistency?

Can you liken it to something for us? It sounds like you're on the right track,

and you're very observant of her behaviors to know that she wasn't doing well

with the honey and nut flour. Did she have sandy texture to her stools prior to

SCD?

how many bananas...

Hello again

is eating more things now. She loved the butternut squash fries this

time. I made popsicles to give her other fruits different than banana and she

loves them, so thank you for the idea.

She's hungry all the time and wants to eat bananas very often, she takes my

hand and points to the bananas and even try to say the word to get them!!!

(That's a big deal in my house!). My question is how many bananas can a 3

year-old eat without problem? I'm giving her only 2 per day.

The only thing that still bothers me is that her stools are very, very soft,

VERY sandy and today I notice little white particules that look like very little

pieces of egg shell. I stoped using nut because I thought the little particules

were undigested nuts. I'm not using honey because I notice she got very active

after eating sweet things even with honey. She's not eating bacon or pork rinds

any more (good!). Mostly eggs, meat once a day, green beans, carrots, butternut

squash, zuccini (first time today), pears (popsicles) y bananas, MUCHAS BANANAS

.

I'm very thankful for this diet, she has improved so much! I can see that she

sees things more clearly and even when she's not saying any words yet, she

communicates in some other way. We're amazed of her every day little

improvements and thank God and you for all your help.

Any advice will be very appreciated.

Thanks

Hello Meleah

Yes, that would be a very good description. Her stools have peanutbutter

consistency and I'm not sure it is ammonia but the smell is very strong. She

has had sandy stools for the last two years. I notice her stools were sandy

after she started showing autistic behaviors. I don't know if there is any

relation, but she showed these behaviors very clearly after she went from one

infection to another for two entire months, from ear infection to a very severe

sinus infection. Unfortunaly I dont remember the connection with vaccines (She

got some here in America and some in Colombia, SA so I'm still a little confused

with that matter) After that, she was never the same child... Anyway, I'm

convinced she has a big problem with oxalates but she has yeast problems, too,

so I couldn't be sure if the little white things are yeast or maybe some

calcium-related sustance. ?????

thanks for any information

Well, whether you remember specifics about vaccinnes or not, lots of meds from

many infections can do damage to the gut and brain. Neverthless, you can do

lots to swing her back the other way. My son had sandy stools for I don't know

how long. I truly can't remember how long it was after beginning SCD that the

stools firmed up and became a normal texture. I do know that he had the sandy,

peanutbuttery stools before starting SCD. Oh, how I wish I could remember how

long it took to normalize the stools for your sake. If you wonder about calcium

oxilates, what about getting her started on a high dose cod liver oil? Green

Pastures makes one. How long has your daughter been on SCD?

Thank you, Meleah, for your insight on this. I feel better now that I learn that

my daughter will eventually get better, just like your son. How long it takes is

not really important, right? Knowing that with SCD will help her is enough for

now. , 3, has been on the diet for 6 weeks. We're planning to start the

vitamin K protocol and for that we already ordered the CLO from Green Pastures.

It should arrive shortly.

Now, please forgive my persistence, but, how many bananas do you think should

be alright per day?

I think that two is fine since she's not having any constepation issues. I

wouldn't go over that though. I try to keep it at one for my son, but sometimes

allow him to eat two.

Two bananas per day is just fine. I depends on the child, of course.... that

might be too many for some kids. If she's feeling good and not having huge

yeast issues, there is no harm in two bananas for a 3 yr old.

I only worry when a child wants to self-limit to bananas only, or something. If

you feel the bananas are causing the very soft stools, though.... the only way

to know for sure if this is a problem is to pull them completely out, see how

she does for a few days, then add them back.

Remember..... be sure they are nice and RIPE!
