intro and question
Hi all...
I hope some of you remember me! I posted quite a bit when my last daughter was still nursing (she's now almost 3yo) and I see quite a few familiar names from mkp. I'm Amy... sahm to 4 wonderful kids ... our son is 11, and we have 3 daughters ages 8, almost 3 and 5 weeks. Dh and I have been married for a little over 12 years and we live in Indiana. I nursed all of my children until they self weaned (which means I nursed extendedly with one of my dd's You would think I would know how to solve most breastfeeding dilemmas at this point, but this one has me stumped. Halli has been very, very gassy over the last couple of weeks. Her poops have slowed down (as expected) to every other day to every 3 days. The thing is that her gas is incredibly stinky! I smells of sulfur! Then today when she pooped it was very unusual ... it was foamy and thick and smelled awful! Not at all like the poop of a breastfed baby! In the past couple of weeks I have avoided dairy, caffeine, chocolate and broccoli because of her gassiness and some excessive spitting up. The spitting up seems better, but the gas is awful, and sometimes painful for her. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Is there something in my diet that could be causing such stinky gas? Thanks in advance! -- Amy~ Tre' (6/92) Keelyn (6/95) Peyton (10/00) Halli (8/15/03) |

Is there something in my diet that could be causing such stinky gas? Hmmm..if you're dropping dairy (and really dropping it...), are you using soy instead? And taking a calcium supplement? I've noticed (TMI warning) that since I started doing soy and rice milk and taking calcium that both I and P have gotten gassier and his poops are...looser. Not foamy, but he's also older that Halli. If that's not the case, try dropping egg as well (that's a really tough one, egg's in everything!!). I was told egg is a big allergen. -- Meself mom to P, 23/12/01 |

intro and question
Hi Amy, I'm no expert, being a new mum, but you may want to check out this
link that I found. It seemed to be a good way of getting some ideas about what different poops mean. Good luck, Alicia http://www.drjaygordon.com/pediatricks/poop.htm |
