Guest guest Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 Hi Belinda, Hope things get better soon. Your post reminded me that we had a problem once where skin was taken off if the nappy wasn't changed immediately. It was very shocking to us that poo could have such an effect on skin. Hope things improve soon. Did you try kefir? Would you like some grains. Best wishes Sandy > > > > Dear All, my son has just started taking off his nappy and getting the > > poo out of it.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi , A good question. We avoid strep therm in probios but kefir apparently has strep strains too. We always found probiotics - with just a few exceptions - harder to tolerate than fermented foods. Maybe it is the maltodextrin etc that we are especially sensitive too. http://users.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefirpage.html#composition-of-KG If you scroll down a bit you will see kefir contains a lot of different strains of bacteria. Best wishes, Sandy > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi Belinda, a good starting point for looking at stools and what they might mean can be found here: http://www.enzymestuff.com/rtstools.htm I cant find 'sick' smelling stools but 'stinky stools' might be a good category to look at. Really bad smelling stools in our house means bacterial overgrowth.... Is he trying to get the poo away from his skin because it is irritating it do you think? Does his skin look sore after he poos? The poo could be acidic and burning his skin or have high levels of ammonia or oxalates in it, that would definitely cause irritation to the skin. What does the poo look like, can you describe it, this info might help in working out what is going on in your ds gut.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Sue, I agree I would be very upset in this situation- is there anything you can do? Can you choose to go back into a cast or consult with the primary doctor? Heidi, Bexon's Mommy, (3 years old, in 8th cast from Salt Lake City Shriners, currently down from 62 degrees to 20 in cast.

Braces are a little hard to adapt to at first. My Abby is in her first cast. But, she wore a brace for about 5 weeks prior to getting her first cast applied. It took her about one week to fully gain back all of her mobility. You will see that the adjustment will come quickly. But, I would address the fact that they left you out in the cold about the decision. That is not at all right. I would have had a fit. But, things will be OK.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Im sorry they surprised you w/ this Sue. I think she will adjust fine if its a well made brace and they provide it to Abi promptly. Please insist on getting a copy of her last xrays (in cast)and compare them to the in brace xrays. Have they given you any numbers at all to work with?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I agree with 100%. They should have consulted with you. Even if it was at the last minute from plaster theatre.
