How much yogurt did you give him? It should start with about 1/2 of a

teaspoon or less.

Hi ,

Do You mean that you started the activated charcoal the day before the

explosive d? If so, that may be the cause. I think some activated charcoal

contains illegals. Explosive d after a week and half on yogurt isn't the

usual bad reaction. That kind of reaction seems to happen with others with

something given the day before or same day. So it may have been the

charcoal. Either way you should pull back to more basic until he feels a

bit better.

Any chance it is viral?

How is he now? My daughter had explosive d once after ingesting illegals.

It took her a couple of days to clear it all out.

Hey Sheila, Thanks for the post. Interestingly enough he just had

bad D. no other symptoms. (The week or so prior really cranky and

tantrum-y with the new diet, possible die-off I suppose but that

seems to be waning). I was doing like 1 tsp-2tsp a day of yogurt

then I increased it. He's up to 3tsp or more. But yes, the

activated charcoal was 1 day before the explosive episode. I didnt

stop either and we've had no probs since but I worry every time I

send him off to school...would hate for the school to have to deal

with that mess, not to mention he would be embarrassed in front of

buddies. No, not viral. THanks for the insight.
