I forgot it was November. Hi there! I have to go back and catch up. I'm also gonna hit you ladies with my newest post...
Okay, I have exhausted my resources (of which there are many.) I'm posting this as a serious longshot. Maybe it will jog someone's memory or something-who knows.
My newest ds doesn't poop. Well, to clarify, he poops very infrequently-as in once every ten days. He doesn't appear to be uncomfortable, is thriving and meeting all of his developmental milestones and generally a very happy little man.
He has at least three food allergies that I am aware of (that provoke an immediate and clear response.) I'm sure there are more, but my many dietary changes have not uncovered them. I have gone off nuts, legumes, seeds, beans, nightshades, animal products etc. I have done them all for long enough periods of time to see a difference. The only ones that are clear are soy, dairy and eggs.
He has minor structural stuff that is begin addressed very consistently. He also had a tongue tie. All of the midline stuff has been assessed and I am comfortable with everybody's reports. He has trouble bearing down with his diaphragm, and we're working on it. The problem is he consistently goes ten days without a bowel movement and when he goes it's just once. Not a large one either, just one regular bm-then nothing for another ten days. There is no blockage or build up in his intestinal tract. He doesn't appear to be uncomfortable and it isn't difficult for him to have the bm.
It is the right color, though the consistency is off. It's sometimes a bit thick, and sometimes a bit runny. IT smells exactly as it should.
I haven't been able to find a probiotic that he can tolerate yet, so we're also working on that. I am very clear on what needs to happen in his gut, what I'm not clear on is why isn't he producing more waste? Anybody? Given what I've said, would you worry? This is absolutely not a normal stooling pattern, but aside from *knowing* that, nothing else appears to be a problem. Thanks for any insights.

hello. I have many food intolerances (20 on a blood test!!) and mild candida and I am hoping SCD will help me heal my gut...Is SCD a good choice for me? (I eat traditional foods and take probiotics already) I am also on antibiotics for 2nd stage Lyme right now so I am at least trying to keep any further damage from being done.
and has already heard "well, how do you make pumpkin pie without using a can of milk?" eesh.
I am also unsure about my makeup, I need to get a good list of what gluten ingredients are in makeup-this is a harder list to find.
) and it was a normal consistency for EBF. I still have yet to figure out his food sensitivities.
: (The details are too gross) I told me to quit abx for 3 days and go really heavy an probiotics. I am also starting colostrum with meals this week.
