Re: Spencer and yogurt

[Guest guest]

Louisa,

This definitely could be die-off, so I think you should keep going.

What kind of yogurt are you giving Spencer? My kids aren't eating

yogurt yet, so I don't have a whole lot experience in this. I'm

hoping someone else will chime in. But my gut feeling is that you

should stick it out for a week or two, and then go from there.

Should I continue? "

Yes, but do keep an eye on those stools.

I agree with Gia. Since you aren't seeing any negative behaviour,

I'd continue using the yogurt, very slowly.

It makes sense that as the " good bugs " take up residence in the gut,

they will evict some of the " bad bugs " ... and they need to be

flushed!

Hi Louisa,

Yes, the loose stools could be die-off.

1/4 of a teaspoon is a good staring amount and skip two days in

between instead of just one. You really do want to start with a

small amount. It may help if the yogurt is dripped (before

measuring) some find it easier to tolerate at first.
