Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Mark, There's a good discussion of poop color implications on enzymestuff.com. Have you looked there? My son's poops have tended towards the tan, so we added some ox bile (which I am quite sure would take the award for the most disgusting, foul, putrid smelling and tasting supplement available on the market) and that seems to be doing very good things for him. But I think I did read that titanium dioxide can cause white poops. Curious, why are you giving your son something with titanium dioxide in it?

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Milkshakes, I am told actually have an inert filler ingredient called diatomaceous earth in them. DE is also used as media for pool filtration, as an abrasive in toothpastes, and even pretty cleverly as pesticides. The white cliffs of Dover are diatoms. When crushed to a powder DE has microscopically sharp edges that contact the insect or parasite, and pierce their protective coating, so they soon dehydrate and die. For pests walking over DE powder is like us walking over a bed of broken glass. I don't know if anyone has associated diatomaceous earth in milkshakes or other food products with microscopic abrasions in the throat. Even at the microscopic level wouldn't sharp edges be capable of creating throat irritations and possibly assisting the acid reflux phenomena? There seems to be a lot of acid reflux these days. Maybe DE as a food filler is causing microscopic slices in throat tissue making it hypersensitive to any acid contact? [ ] White poop - what now? Our son (3 1/2 ASD) was having that milkshake poop. We cut out all of our son's supplements. We got the first normal poop (consistency and shape). All except that it was light grey, or nearly white, and there were a couple blood spots, and he strained like hell to get it out). What do we do now? What test should be done? Could this be hepatitis? Could this be from his potato-based milk (which has titanium dioxide)? The wife thinks this is normal. Should we just add taurine? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Have you considered/tried some of the other dairy-free mylks? We use Pacific brand almond low-fat vanilla.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Anne; Thanks for your reply. To answer your question, it seems that cow's milk has casein which is bad for him. Then almond and soy milk are high oxalate. Rice milk is one alternative, potato milk is the other. So we had bought a bunch of the stuff per advise of a parent whose kid loved it. Our kid doesn't like it so much so we may try rice milk. But I think rice milk has a lot of sugar in it, right? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi; I meant the consistency of his poop was previously like that of a milkshake (for want of a better example). Not that I feed him milk shakes. They put DE in food??? Really? That's disgusting. I've seen the mines up in Lompoc where they dig that white stuff out of the ground. I thought they just used it in gypsum board. Anyways I wouldn't put it into the body. Mark > > > Milkshakes, I am told actually have an inert filler ingredient called diatomaceous earth in them.

It helps them not to confuse being hungry with being thirsty, and it has no crap and no sugar. Potatoes and rice can cause major gut trouble. Plus, once your kid is doing better you can give them an occasional juice box and they'll think they won the lottery . Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not normal Taurine might help. Digestive enzymes (lipase) might help. Bile might help. Lecithin is good too. For my son this happens because he cannot digest fats.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I complained for 3 1/2 yrs (since his birth) to my son's regular pediatrician that he never had a regular bowel movement. Usually smelly and yellow. He told me that a gastroenterologist told him that if the poop is not black, white or red not to worry about it. So, I would get him checked for peace of mind. My son's poop straightened out after going to the DAN doctor and being treated for yeast and other deficiencies. > > Our son (3 1/2 ASD) was having that milkshake poop.

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 One can make zucchini mylk...though they're not in season here now. Might be worth a try and people will probably be willing to give you their extra zukes from the garden in the summer! A recipe website states: " 1967 newspaper article stated: peel, seed and chunk zucchini. Use your blender to make a " milk " . I did, I tried and I liked. " milk " can be frozen also.

Yes, this is a likely possiblity. Titanium dioxide is used in Dairy-Free and other products, it colors things white. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
