R.. our experience with gut bugs too :) was:Re: sores on bottom-

[Guest guest]

Hi Faye...well he woke up many AM's with stool all over himself and

the bed... this is with two pairs of long pj's on and a double

diaper. So yep.. we're all toooo familiar with runny poop. We had

soo much of this and of cottage cheesey type poop over the time we

struggled with this. He would improve with treatment but it always

cropped back up. He was better by the time he recovered but still it

was not gone by any means.. we were still having it in fact when we

started LDN in the study group..LDN helped his gut a lot too but we

still have flareups that I could not figure out. In fact we had

almost runny poop yesterday but I knew what had done it and it was

back to formed stools by the time he went to bed that night. It is

not always that quick fo fix but is getting quicker and quicker the

more he heals. It is not a 6 week ordeal now if something causes a

flare..he can recover very quickly. This may not be the case for

other children but really has been for us.

Best of luck!
