Guest guest Posted June 15, 2006 Report Posted June 15, 2006 Can someone help me with poos?!!!! I've read a little in McBride's book but still don't know how to rate his poos or describe them or even what to expect. I've never once seen a normal poo come out of my son but then I didn't think that I should be expecting one because he still lives primarily on infant formula. I've been tracking his poos in his daily diary sheets but I don't really know how to describe them. Someone sent me a sheet recently saying to score his poos out of ten. Huh? So is dark green *better* than bright yellow????? Pasty better than little pebbles? Also, can someone tell me why 's poos so frequently smell like vinegar? The smell is so piercing, just like vinegar, I've never known anyone else to have poos so pungent! Thanks for any advice or comments. Darla Quote

I think you may be right re: the bad bacteria/vinegar smell. Once I started the biokult probiotics the smell has decreased and has had more energy. He is also eating more and more solids which is incredible. >>>This is exciting, Biokult did good things for Sam way back when and we still use it, the enzymes will help with this too. My favourite probios are Custom Probiotics CP1, they are 25 billion +++ Per cap so if you tried those you would need only a sprinkle to start. One thing to look at when choosing probio's is whether or not they advise giving on an empty stomach - this varies between brands - BioKult is a with food one, CP1 is preferred on empty tummy - Sam only has empty tummy at night so we give them while he is asleep. I think I sent you a link about enzymes helping with GERD last night, let me know if it didn;t come through Mandi x Quote
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 A poo book would be great wouldn't it!!!!! Darla don't know why but my son's poo used to have that vinegary smell too, it changed completely when we changed to SCD as opposed to GFCF they now smell normal, hideous but normal if you know what I mean , sorry I don't have any more insight but thought it worth mentioning, Josie > > > > > > All I know is what told us and that is `good poo' is brown > > and slightly > > > orangey - likened it to the colour of her desk which was > > polished wood > > > and they should be formed but not too hard.
