Re: poop question

[Guest guest]

Hi Heidi,

I can only answer the poop question since I am not ready to try to

do the yoghurt. We also have a 2 year old (besides the constipated

10 year old) that I change diapers, so I know what you mean by balls

of poop because he has them. If the balls are hard (yes, I do pick

them up and check the consistency) then it's constipation. If you

don't want to pick them up, you can tell just by compressing them in

the diaper and feeling how hard they are through the diaper.

Sometimes our two year old has the soft balls and I know it's time

to keep an eye on it more carefully and introduce something to

soften them up which is usually peeled raw pears or less diluted

apple juice(he's not on SCD)or cooked peeled carrots. His

constipation is so much easier to resolve than the 10 year old's

constipation. I've tried the same things I do to the 2 year old

with the 10 year old but it doesn't work for the 10 year old. The 2

year old is unvaccinated while the 10 year old had the full course

of vaccines. Maybe that's the difference. Got to go. Hope this

helps a bit and someone who is SCD legal has a better answer. Take

care, Becky in Chesapeake, VA

Welcome to the list Abigail,

On the road to healing people will often swing between periods of d, loose stool

and constipation. My son and I did and lots of people have reported this on

other lists. Even when we started having trophies (solid regular bm's)

occasionally we would go to either loose stool or slightly constipated. But

eventually those episodes became less and less until they were gone. Of course

if someone gets a stomach virus, flu etc. " all bets are off' but we usually

bounce back fairly quickly.

Do you mean the warming tray got to hot after you added the starter culture? If

that's the case than the bacterial culture is likely dead, depending on high it

got. How hot is too hot? If this is the case it is better to start with a

fresh batch.

BTW, did you do the intro and what is he eating?

Hello!

Liam has been having little ball poops. I thought this was good because

his have always been lose, but reading other peoples posts I started wondering

if his is constipated. I gave him a little bit of prune juice yesterday just

in case. Dad doesn't think he is though because he had at least five poppy

diapers yesterday. He usually has one or two. What do you all think? His

stomach seems a bit hard and he was up in the night (which isn't real unusual,

the night thing), could this be related?

My other question is about yogurt. I bought a yogurt maker at Goodwill

yesterday, thanks to the person you recommend trying there, I hadn't thought

about it. I got mine for $2.50 and it was still in plastic. I

accidentally

made to much milk though, so I put some on the stove (I have a warming plate).

It didn't work very well, got to hot and then to cold. Can I reheat this

and try again? Has anyone else tried that?

Thanks for you help,

Heidi
