wondering about stool volume

[Guest guest]

hi.

i am wondering for those that have had their children on the diet for a

while . . . . maybe someone could help me to know how much stool a 7 or 9

yr old boy would be putting out? and or how often?

an approximate day of eating (for one) might include 3 eggs for

breakfast and a small nut flour muffin,

3-4 slices of cold cuts and a 1/2 cup of veggie beef soup and 2 chicken

pancakes.

a baked apple or pear. 3-4 slices of steak, or chicken, or pork, or 6

meatballs, and 1 cup of legally prepared veggies.

(we are using pears, spinach, zuchini, carrots, and green beans now.)

if eating this food and drinking diluted juice and water, would every 3rd

day seem expected for a bowel movement? i am trying to increase the

fiber with more veggies and some almond flour. but i am thinking that

the reason for this might just be that there is less waste to pass and so

it might be normal for the early stages before a lot of fiber is added

in? and i would assume that as i add in more fiber this would increase

in volume and frequency - right?

no i am not using the probiotics or yogurt yet. after i see our next set

of data on results i will begin nut yogurt.

Donna,

Every third day...... I would call that somewhat constipated. He's eating a lot

more meat and eggs than veggies..... so yes, there would be less residue. But,

I think you really have got to get more vegetables going in. Hide them in the

muffins and pancakes if you have to. His diet right now seems out of balance to

me. Even at the beginning of SCD, it really isn't the intention for anyone to be

eating so much meat and eggs compared to everything else.
