Re: Homemade formula=better poop!!

It's indicative of the proper "critters" living in his colon. My grandson was suffering from diarrhea so badly the acidic fluids burned the skin off of his bottom. The traditional doctor said "more antibiotics". They just made it worse.

My alternative doctor said "go buy acidophilus and some of the other bacteria that are common to kefir". We tried it and he had normal poops in less than two days.

That event is what set me in motion to investigate homeopathic medicines and raw milk in particular.

I have not been disappointed with what I have found.

Homemade formula=better poop!!

I just started my baby yesterday on the homemade formula in Sally's book. My baby likes it alot. The one thing I noticed that is interesting to me is his poop has changed. His poops have returned to the breast fed type poops he had in the beginning when we were trying to breast feed. ( I had a breast reduction ) They went from dark brown and very smelly (on formula) back to the very light mustardy seedy looking breast fed poops. And the best thing is they dont smell as bad. lolSeriously though, I wonder if this means anything in terms of how his body is handling all the raw milk and good fats. sandy

It may be a simple issue of what causes what... but, I think the healthier poop is also indicative of the baby's body being able to get more out of the homemade formula. Undigested bits are what get nasty on the way out. I've always been told that the reason breastfed babies have such pleasant poop is because there's less being wasted. Formula poops are positively rancid.

I know that better gut flora improves digestion, but also, having better food going through the gut helps improve the gut flora.

I'm impressed and amazed that the raw formula can mimic breastmilk! That's great! I hope to never need a substitute, but if I do, I'll know what to use.

I have to say that I am impressed too. And I agree that better food should produce better poop... that is true in the rest of us too. Poop should be light in color, and float, and not stink! I hope I haven't grossed anyone out!
