From Dr. Shaw/Grt.Plains/Re: Does anyone know what the black flecks are???

[Guest guest]

Don't know if there is info on the Grt. Plains site regarding this but at a

conference some time ago, WM.Shaw offered the guess that he and colleagues made

that the grittiness found in the kid's stool might be the gravel dumped from the

gall bladder which was cleaned out from certain supplements kids were taking.

Not harmful and some of us oldsters who have gall bladder stones and gravel

would be willing to do if we knew what to take. Found that out later, it was use

of Olive oil and Grapefruit juice as well as taking epsom salts. Most kids

aren't taking this combo outright but other supps. seem to do this too, not sure

which ones...

Yes, we went thru' that too when first on the GFCF and supplements diet...black

grit.

The flecks are about the size of glitter and they are all over.
