A couple of days ago there was blood in her stool. Quite a bit. They went to the Dr.'s and was told to keep an eye on it but said it is probably nothing. My friend was freaking out because when she was little her brother died of an intestinal problem where one intestine grows inside the other (not 100% sure of the details). I am a little worried because her daughter is vaccinated and in a little less than 3 wks she'll be vaccinated again. Could this problem be from vaccinations? If so, is there somewhere I can read about it and send it to her? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Carlena,The baby's reaction/symptoms are a function of altered/dysbiotic gut flora of the mother. Essentially, many mothers these days have gut dysbiosis/leaky gut and so are having immunological reactions to the foods they eat (most often these are hidden or underrecognized food allergies or sensitivities). So when mom eats something she is unknowingly sensitive to, the baby will manifest symptoms (eg., colic, bloody stools, constipation, etc). The short answer (this is a very complex situation and would be happy to talk over the phone about how to fix/heal this problem) is to try eating new foods that you don't usually eat (e.g., quinoa and millet for your grains instead of wheat and corn...use hemp or almond milk instead of cows milk, etc). Try eating "unusual" or different foods for a couple days to see if baby's symptoms improve. Also consider having an IgG food sensitivity test done for yourself (again, I can tell you more about this over the phone). The bottom line is this: this is an epidemic....so many babies are suffering. I explain this all in detail in my book. I'm always happy to talk at length about this anytime.BethSent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerryFrom: "summershart@..." <summershart@...>Sender: Vaccinations Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2010 22:19:01 CDT<Vaccinations >Reply Vaccinations Subject: Re: blood in stool My is 4 mos old and is colic & fussy baby.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Sharon, There is a food allergy expert in Minneapolis named Dr. Bill Walsh, who believes that MOST people have some kind of food allergy/insensitivity that creates some kind of health problem/clinical symptom, yet very few people would ever think to look to their diet to alleviate whatever their symptoms may be. Good for you for figuring it out! I do believe that vaccines can contribute to immune dysregulation and gut dysbiosis --two underlying conditions that result in a whole variety of symptoms--including bloody stools in infants. We just need to get to the moms who aren't aware of this yet. . . we need to prevent anymore babies from being put on Prevacid or Prilosec because they have "reflux" (when it is really just a food sensitivity that can be addressed with temporary diet changes). If you know any moms w/babies that fit this category--send them my way!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Beth,My son is 16 months old and he has awful silent reflux since he was 2 weeks old. I blame my stupidity, he was vaccinated up til his 4 month appointment, none after that...if only turning back the clock was possible!! He doesn't throw up, never did really, but it comes up his throat and burns him. He goes hoarse, and he doesn't sleep well because of being so uncomfortable. We have Zantac, (reluctantly got it when he turned a year old after the reflux didn't go away like I was hoping it would) which works wonders, but I realize it's bad for him so we only use it a couple times a week. He is on probiotics (since July) that our ND sells. He doesn't ever have any dairy (I don't believe it's healthy), and he is also gluten free (Celiacs: me, my sister, and her 2 kids). I have Hyland's Nat Phos, which I think helps us to use the Zantac less. He is supposed to have one dose per day, but we use it only 2x a week at most. I don't know what else to do!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Oh-oh. Homeopathics aren't supposed to be taken every day. Maybe that's why it hasn't resolved. Did the ND prescribe it that way? Good that you're mixing dairy. Perhaps look into if his body is too acidic and whether the foods he eats are alkaline enough. I'm not overly familiar with doing that but that's the direction I would take--trying to be less acidic. I've had serious heartburn before, though, and learned that what happens is your body is producing excess acid because there wasn't enough at some point. When you take an antacid, there is now even less so more gets produced--endless cycle goes on. It's not fun but I found that just bearing with it and avoiding the foods that bothered me worked. And you weren't stupid to vaccinate him. You obviously thought it was what good parents do, as did I and many of us here. You weren't stupid. You were lied to.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 , I know what you are going through and have talked to so many parents who went through a similar experience. Take heart, there ARE answers!! I would strongly suggest you look into determining his possible food sensitivities. I think it is great that you already have him off of dairy and wheat, but unfortunately, where there's smoke, there's fire--in other words, if he has one or two sensitivities, it is likely that he has many, and these food sensitivities may be causing the reflux symptoms. I have spoken to many mothers who have resolved their baby's reflux, bloody stool, colic, constipation, failure to thrive, gagging, food storing and other GI symptoms by removing foods from their child/baby's diet (this includes the mother removing foods from her diet if she is breastfeeding). Here is what I would do (and it's a sucky option, but it works!): Go to a new and barebones diet for a three or four day and see if his symptoms improve. (Are you nursing? If so, then this applies to you too) By this I mean--eat foods you do not usually eat that are considered low on the allergy scale. This would include: quinoa, amaranth, buckwheat and millet for grains (although some people can't tolerate buckwheat). Eat fruits and vegetables that you don't typically eat (try ones that aren't very allergenic, so NO tomatoes, no pineapple, no citrus, no strawberries, etc .) Eat meats that you don't typically eat--if you are not big fish eaters or you don't typically eat lamb, then eat those meats for a couple days. Make substituitions so that the foods you most commonly eat are OUT of you and your son's diet (again, only if you are nursing). Then if the symptoms improve, slowly, one by one, add foods back in and see which ones seem to bother him. I would defintely take out corn, soy, citrus, nuts at a minimum. It isn't fun to take foods out of your diet, but it isn't forever, and this way you'll know if these foods are bothering him. If he refuses to eat the new foods, don't give up! Second, you might want to consider going to see a practitioner who does BioSET, NAET or some other kind of kinesiology-based allergy elimination program. They can help you determine his sensitivities and then eliminate them-- it seems a little bit like weirdo voodo medicine at first by TRUST me, I have talked to dozens of people for whom this stuff really works! (My oldest daughter got over 26 food sensitivities using BioSET and NAET). See our website for practitioners: http://www.epidemicanswers.org/get-help/find-a-provider/ Feel free to email me anytime with questions. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 You stop when you see it begin to work. But I use it more for acute, temporary conditions giving maybe two or three doses and change if I don't see any improvement. The chronic heartburn might take a little more time to show--plus he can't really tell you if he's better. I'll defer to others here who were actually trained in it for the details on how to time the doses for a chronic condition. It seems to me that even if that remedy works for him, the problem keeps coming back. So, you need to try to figure out what else in your diet could be affecting him that keeps this going. It would likely be something you ate every day. A vitamin or other supplement? Are you taking iron pills?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 a, I wish there were a quick easy answer for that one. I personally think most formulas are pretty poor alternatives to breast milk, and soy formula is among the worst. There are basically a couple options: 1) he stays on soy formula and will likely develop soy sensitivity and/or thyroid issues and further immune dysregulation issues (especially if it is not organic soy, as GMO soy is scary). 2) She can try a hypoallergenic formula like Elecare or Alimentum or Neocate, but I don't think these are good options b/c most of them contain corn (a top allergen and often a problem for kids w/reflux) and b/c they still do not have the good immune factors that breast milk does 3) The mom can take foods out of her diet and try to continue breastfeeding (if she stopped, there are ways to relactate, FYI, and I can give more info on this)--Doing an elimination diet is hard to do for the moms, but I know many moms who have done it successfully and saved themselves and their babies further reflux or other GI problems. I usually recommend starting by removing dairy, wheat, corn and soy from the mom's diet and also any foods that she typically eats everyday (e.g. if she has a glass of orange juice in the morning, then I would take out citrus). The mother needs to watch baby like a hawk and start journaling to see which foods seem to bother him and take these out. 4) If breastfeeding, she can go see a practitioner of NAET or BioSET and have the foods that baby is sensitive to "cleared"--so that she can begin adding them back in. Alternatively, if he is not breastfeed, he can be cleared for dairy and the formula that she would like him to try (not soy!). You can find BioSET practitioners at www.bioset.net Regardless of what she tries to do, he should be on a daily infant probiotic--I give my 6 month old son Klaire Labs infant formula probiotic twice a day in his food. And keeping him off of reflux meds is KEY. The reflux meds will cause further gut dysbiosis and immune issues down the line (and makes him susceptible to autism, ADHD, LD, asthma ,other disorders--especially if he is vaccinated while on the reflux meds) And of course, you know what I would say about vaccinating a child with GI issues-- It's a complicated process, but the net-net is if you want to resolve the reflux without taking medication (and medication will cause many more worse problems down the road!) then you need to remove the allergenic foods that the baby is exposed to. You can have the mom email me directly at beth@... if she wants more help with this.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Beth, Thank you for this information! I will pass it along to my friend. I have told her to start a probiotic ASAP. She said she would talk to her doctor...ugh....AND he is pushing her to try the zantac for her baby! Apparantly, she can not breastfeed because of some medication she is having to take for her heart. Thanks again! and I will give her your website to refer to as well. a Kunselman From: Beth Lambert <beth1lambert@...>Vaccinations Sent: Wed, October 13, 2010 1:05:39 PMSubject: Re: Re: blood in stool a, I wish there were a quick easy answer for that one. I personally think most formulas are pretty poor alternatives to breast milk, and soy formula is among the worst. There are basically a couple options: 1) he stays on soy formula and will likely develop soy sensitivity and/or thyroid issues and further immune dysregulation issues (especially if it is not organic soy, as GMO soy is scary). 2) She can try a hypoallergenic formula like Elecare or Alimentum or Neocate, but I don't think these are good options b/c most of them contain corn (a top allergen and often a problem for kids w/reflux) and b/c they still do not have the good immune factors that breast milk does 3) The mom can take foods out of her diet and try to continue breastfeeding (if she stopped, there are ways to relactate, FYI, and I can give more info on this)--Doing an elimination diet is hard to do for the moms, but I know many moms who have done it successfully and saved themselves and their babies further reflux or other GI problems. I usually recommend starting by removing dairy, wheat, corn and soy from the mom's diet and also any foods that she typically eats everyday (e.g. if she has a glass of orange juice in the morning, then I would take out citrus). The mother needs to watch baby like a hawk and start journaling to see which foods seem to bother him and take these out. 4) If breastfeeding, she can go see a practitioner of NAET or BioSET and have the foods that baby is sensitive to "cleared"--so that she can begin adding them back in. Alternatively, if he is not breastfeed, he can be cleared for dairy and the formula that she would like him to try (not soy!). You can find BioSET practitioners at www.bioset.net Regardless of what she tries to do, he should be on a daily infant probiotic--I give my 6 month old son Klaire Labs infant formula probiotic twice a day in his food. And keeping him off of reflux meds is KEY. The reflux meds will cause further gut dysbiosis and immune issues down the line (and makes him susceptible to autism, ADHD, LD, asthma ,other disorders--especially if he is vaccinated while on the reflux meds) And of course, you know what I would say about vaccinating a child with GI issues-- It's a complicated process, but the net-net is if you want to resolve the reflux without taking medication (and medication will cause many more worse problems down the road!) then you need to remove the allergenic foods that the baby is exposed to. You can have the mom email me directly at beth@... if she wants more help with this.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 My friend found blood in his stool, he showed me pictures and it looks like it's just pure blood and very little stool. The doctor told him it's just stress, but he's worries and so am I. It's like a diarrhea of blood with very little specs of stool. Any idea what you guys think it could be?

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Thank you so much I will forward this too him. He also has HIV and the doctors are quit to just blame it on HIV, I am also HIV positive and I'm as healthy as can be. I don't even think i have the virus in me anymore. This HIV theory is complete BS!! He also takes many supplements a day like cat's claw, Pau D' Arco, Selenium, Fish oil and others. I told him to ease down a little. Could this be a possible source? To many supplements? From: Duncan Crow <duncancrow@...> Subject: Re: Blood in stool Coconut Oil Date: Sunday, December 19, 2010, 11:11 AM  Don, when I had a condition like that back in the 60's, the diagnosis was ulcerative colitis. Cured it with sulfa and a dietary change. Many organisms that are natural to the gut can corrupt bowel lining if their numbers are too high; an incorrect balance is called dysbiosis. Colitis, Crohn's disease and IBS are both aggravated and caused by bowel dysbiosis, and the cure is to correct gut ecology. To correct ecology you feed your probiotics more of what they need. Probiotic bacteria eat the inulin in your vegetables while most of the other germs can't. High inulin vegetables used to be a staple historically but not today. Inulin shortfall in our diet puts us at risk for colorectal cancer, reduced liver function, nutrient malabsorption, inadequate stomach acid, reduced immune response, arthritis, fibromyalgia, Crohn's, colitis, IBS, heart disease, psoriasis, eczema etc... Gooogling inulin references for more information brings up my resource page at #1 spot: http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/inulin_prebiotic_probiotic.html Some doctors seek to improve the condition with antibiotics. That may work in the short term and the long term treatment is to steadily improve the gut biology. Some doctors try to improve the condition with high-dose probiotics, which have been pronounced a " cure " for Crohn's disease. The cure is impermanent though in absence of feeding the organisms the necessary inulin to keep activity high on the bowel lining, and when the probiotic is withdrawn in absence of the inulin, the dysbiosis re-asserts itself. Buddy would be better off by far if it turns out he has a stress-related hemorrhoid; dysbiosis is a lifespan reducer that increases cancer risk and produces failure to thrive even on its own. Treatment for reducing dysbiosis should probably include daily inulin 12 grams or so, selenium 400 mcg or so daily, and undenatured whey 60 grams or so to reduce cell injury and toxicity and increase energy and recovery. Whey also prevents bacterial pathogen adhesion; Gooogling brings the resource page up in #1 spot: http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/undenatured-whey-reduces-adhesion.html Many people have used the anti-candida low-carb diet plus the supplements to clear themselves of digestive trouble over a few months; reducing candidiasis the dysbiosis naturally leads to takes a lot longer. all good, Duncan Crow http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow > My friend found blood in his stool,...
