The last one I saw was a small amount and very loose. He's in Gr. 1

so it's hard to know what happens while at school. It's been a very

long time since he's had anything solid.

I should have also asked about the frequency. Doh!

If the frequency of the stools has decreased you may be able to try

starting with a small amount of yogurt (1/8 - 1/4 tsp). Sometimes

the yogurt helps improve the stools.

Let me know about how often he's going /day. Also does he have

cramping, gas any other symptoms and has there been any changes

(good or bad) since the sesame seed bar.

just wanted to share my experience. . . with regard to what sheila

was saying.

i was going crazy trying to do SCD with 3 kids. My one child was

having such a hard time with each new foods. or maybe it was me

having a hard time with interpreting each bit of results. He was a

kid who tended to very loose, badly formed stools and so i have a

theory that it took some time to train his bowels or maybe healing

time, or maybe to establish a good bacterial population, to do

anything differently so he only passed every 2-3 days at first. a

long time to wait for data from each new food. after starting even

as little as 1/4 tsp of goat yogurt i started seeing solid formed

stool each day. i must say he had been dairy free for 2 years prior

so i was hesitant but the SCD was very hard with 3 kids when 2 were

ready for a new food and waiting for their brother. so for any that

are reluctant to try goat yogurt i hope this gives you what courage

you need to try.
