Re: detailed poop question

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Colour changes in stool can mean a couple of things.

It can mean changes in bile salts, change of body microflora or be blood.

Are you peeling and cooking the zucchini? The skins can be pretty tough if he

isn't ready for them. A lot of people have reported trouble with celery even

cooked. You can either take it out of his diet temporarily; leave it whole in

the soup for flavour but take it out so he doesn't eat it or remove the " fibrous

strings " on the back of the celery.

There are not set weeks before seeing trophies. Usually it is a gradual

improvement. He may swing back and forth between constipation (pebbly stools)

and mushy stools as he gets closer to having trophies. Once he starts having

trophies he may a period of time before he gets them consistently. Patience is

a big part of this.

Folks,

What's with the dark stool, almost black at the beginning?.

It has been a month and now it is getting a bit better, but is it a

good/bad sign? Also, his stools have varied between mashed potato,

pebbles and very very soft playdough. We are keeping a journal but

we still cannot figure out what causes what. He also has what I call

Sunday poop (sorry about that), formed center surrounded by D. His

diet consists of mostly chicken, beef, acorn, some zuchinni, cooked

pear, and acorn fries, and some carrots and celery in the soup. We

are introducing butter nut squash today, wish us luck! Also, what

are the typical number of weeks before we can expect trophies?
