yogurt die off timing..and ??'s

April 10, 2004

Here's my naivety showing but I gave Kenzie his first 1/2 tsp. of yogurt a

couple of hours ago. He just had a really mushy stool. Not diarrhea but not

formed. Is it too soon to see this as die off or could it be too many cashew

nut cookies? I'm thinking the latter.

Also I know it's been discussed a ton but I didn't read the yogurt questions

because I wasn't there yet and this tiny little brain can only absorb so much.

What kinds of die off reactions might I see? When might they start? How long

will it last? Will I see big negative behavior things at first? How long

before you see the positive effects of yogurt? Should I skip tomorrow and try

another 1/2 tsp on Monday? Thanks for dealing with my questions.

Hi Penny,

Yes, skip tomorrow and give another 1/2 tsp. on Monday.

The mushy stool could definitely be from the yogurt.

Die off symptoms are different for every kid, but I have seen:

increased stimming

irritability

temper tantrums

stool changes.

AT THE SAME TIME, you should see *something* positive. Could be

behaviour, language, more " withit " but something.
