Diarrhea

[Guest guest]

For the last week or so I have been having loose stools and today I

have just plain watery diarrhea... I really do not understand this.

Could it be that the SCD diet IS NOT FOR ME???? I am doing it to

support my son's. He has also had mushy stools this past week, but

not diarrhea yet. At the beginning of last week we started

acidophilous which we have discontinued for now...

The only thing new that I can think of, other than a " long lived

virurs " is an HN Zyme that I took yesterday (first one!) and that I

ate out this morning, a ham and cheese omelette with veggies... I am

eating about 4 eggs a day, and about 2 bananas, a lot of vegetables

fruits and meat or fish. I also drink a cup of coffee or two (but I

have always have!). For the first 4 weeks of the diet I did not have

loose stools, quite the contrary. I have lost about 12 pounds (I

would need to loose 10 or 20 more!), but I have not lost any for the

last 2 weeks, I guess since I started making goodies (ketchup, cakes

and cookies).

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the encouragement!!! The truth is that felt I

always had a healthy gut, and nowadays... But no, I am not going to

abandone my son's diet. His health has improved with it!!! And I

think my participation in it makes it easier on him to accept that

other people in the family eat pasta and bread, but WE don't.

I put my son into a Stage One this week (carrots, hamburger, eggs,

applesauce, banana and PB pancakes) for a couple of days, and I think

his tummy feels better now. Boy it is my rear end what is burning

right now (don't know if caused by die-off or rough toilet paper)

lol

I will let " it " speak to me tomorrow, but yes, I may go back to the

intro.

Boy I was just thinking that a good comedian would get rich on " SCD

potty stories " ... ;-) Maybe I will write " A tale of two potties. "

Hi Coral,

Ham is usually made with sugar and/or other illegals. If you were

having loose stools (possibly from the probiotic - not everyone

tolerates probiotics) the ham may have pushed you over the edge.
