Wow!! No more diarrhea
I wanted to post a followup on my ds. MANY months ago, I posted a
message about how he had diarrhea off & on constantly--as well as lots of spitting up on those days. Well, I tried varying my diet and really didn't find much except confusion, as he would get it when I was just eating rice, potatoes, green beans, etc which very rarely would affect a baby. We even had him tested for allergies, but came up with nothing. But then once during a bout of diarrhea, I noticed he got a yeasty diaper rash, so I cut my carbs to almost nothing and ate lots of yogurt. It seemed to work and after being on & off the yogurt and seeing that any time I ate many carbs (I'm a carb-o-holic) or missed my yogurt (1 lg container a day) he would start to have the diarrhea again and if it was more than a day or so, the rash would appear. So then I started taking acidophillus--and it's quite amazing. Now, instead of 6-10 dirty diapers/day, ds only has 1-2 (now almost 12 mos old--9 1/2 mos corrected for prematurity) and I can eat whatever I want (he still nurses 5x per day). I just wanted to post this info as I struggled so much finding a solution and am hoping someone else might benefit. Since he was gaining weight very well, doctors didn't venture any help. And since the diaper rash was normally not even there, I didn't even suspect yeast. But clearly that was the answer. So, I hope this helps someone else out there--it has definitely made a huge difference for us--just wish I would have found it about 8 mos ago! Thanks for all those out there that did try to help us out!! I wouldn't have made it this far without this ng! Thanks! |

Wow!! No more diarrhea
glad you found a solution, I remember it was confounding everyone as to
what to do/try. I'm not sure this is correct or not, but I heard that allergy tests aren't always positive in young babies that have sensitivies. Anne |
