OT: another poop question

[Guest guest]

Hi Listmates: OK... another poop question. What does black grainy

(like sand) poop mean? This is NOT my ASD child but my NT one. I do

not think it is blood in stool and it is much softer than normal.

She is the queen of normal poops. No diet changes that I know of

either. I'm stumped on this one... can't find it on the website I

usually refer to either.

Thanks for any insight.

Blessings,

Well in my son it meant he ate sand.

Blood that has been digested (i.e. from the stomach) generally looks like

coffee grounds, or tar. Blood from the lower GI tract will be red.

She could be getting sick. Watch her tomorrow for other symptoms.

If it continues I'd take a sample in to the dr.

Good luck, hth.

Some believe this is yeast and/or yeast die-off. Whether it is the

actual critter or something the yeast gives off I do not know. It

does seem to correlate with increased behavioral symptoms in my

daughter and seems to show up cyclically--which would go along with

it being linked to some stage of yeast or other gut flora.

Did your NT daughter have a high sugar/junk food type day in the

last couple of weeks?

My son had the same black sand like specks in his BM after starting nystatin and

then it reappears when nystatin is increased.

Hi Lissy and thanks for replying. Actually my NT daughter doesn't

eat sweets at all and has never had junk food.. won't even eat

Mc's stuff I discovered when we moved this week-end and I

picked up french fries for the first time. She hasn't had diet

changes at all ... she eats green beans, a little ham, fruits and

veggies and oatmeal for breakfast uaually. She drinks only water.

She seems to feel just fine and I'm waiting to see what today's poop

looks like.She doesn't have signs of yeast in behavior or otherwise

so I'm just stumped. If it is still this way for another day or so,

I'll have to head to the doc with stool sample I guess.

Thanks and any other ideas are welcome!

Blessings,
