Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Can someone help my friend, who is mid-thirties? Today she told me for the last five years she has had a yellow pus in her poop. She went to the doctor but he told her not to worry about it. Currently she's on antibiotics because a gum graft didn't take and got very infected. She got lots of dental problems during her pregnancy, which i know to be a sign of poor nutrition. Her infant is strictly breastfed at 7 months but has terrible eczema, as if she has a road rash on her face. My friend eats a typical SAD. She otherwise seems pretty robust, but grapples with mild depression and is on an anti-depressant. She's not rich so i hope you don't mind my tapping your knowledge here to point her in the right direction. I told her to get Primal Defense right away but have no clue what the pus could be. She is a Weight Watchers graduate but is extremely open to new ideas and better yet, works at a health food store where she gets discounts. Thanks, Elaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Elaine, So it was yellow? My husband had something similiar, but he said his was more a creamy color. He went to the doctor out of concern. The doctor told him the body is 99% fluid and that is pretty normal to pass that kind of stuff. I know this isn't much help but. . . .

If she can get her doctor to do an antigliadin IgA test that's even easier! Mucosal discharge is a usual symptom in IBS, and it is yellowish usually. IBS can be caused by lots of stuff, but in our society gluten is the most common problem. A general meat and vegie ONLY diet is the usually test to avoid all allergens and hard to digests stuff to pinpoint the culprit. Chances are her baby is reacting to the same allergen, and is getting it through the breast milk. -- Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Hey Elaine, I was looking up the pus in poop and this is what I found. Pus in Stools: In Ulcer and Cancer of the Rectum, in Chronic Dysentery, Appendicitis. Mucus in Stool: In Catarrh of Stomach and Bowels, Diarrhea, Inflammation of the Bowels, and Catarrh of the Colon (Colitis). So there is a definite difference in pus and Mucus. . . here is the link where I foun this. http://www.meridianinstitute.com/echerb/Files/classics/mausert/sympto ms.html Just thought you'd want to know Sheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Elaine, Echinacea works on pus conditions. Cysts and the like as well as boosting immune system. Don't have your original post. Did you mention she had trouble with teeth during pregnancy? My mouth ulcers went away finally with no gluten as Heidi suggested here. As far as nursing and echinacea health food stores have infant echinacea glycerine tinctures. For Mom only i'd suggest whole herb echinacea rather than alcohol tincture.
