No, not constipated, these are formed stools but VERY soft. Definately not

leakage around impaction. If anything, I think his stool is passing TOO QUICKLY.

Hi ,

They are neither pale or dark..mostly normal brown with an orange tinge. Am

wondering if maybe even the probiotics I give are causing this(am scared to

stop, as I've done in the past and yeast symptoms return.) Am also wondering if

it is bacteria he has, but his stool is never green.

Donna.

Are you using digestive enzymes? It sounds like maybe he is not fully digesting

his foods.

We had similar problems until I added digestive enzymes back into the supplement

schedule. I use Kirkmans Enzymes and Klaire Labs Enzyme Complete.

Also, I started giving psyllium fiber around the same time that we saw

improvement in his

stools, so this could have played a role in helping firm up his stools. I just

mix a heaping

tablespoon in with some applesauce, it doesn't have any flavor so it's easy to

hide in stuff.

Here too - we avoid fiber products, especially the psylliums. They

have not been helpful & seem to cause increased belly issues for us.

We do eat a lot of fresh fruit/vegs, so would assume this provides

enough fiber for us...wishing you the best, elizabeth
