Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm a bit worried about my youngest daughter. She is 2 1/2 years old. She is recently having mucus in her stool. I know, great topic, right? She has always worried me with her bowels. When she was a newborn, she could go sometimes up to a week without having a BM, dispite the fact that she was breastfed until 4 months old. (I had to have back surgery, long story). These days, she can go a few days without having a BM and when she does, it's horribly smelly and full of mucus. I'm sure if I call the doctor, he'll say something about her diet, give her an elixer full of things I cannot pronounce, to mask her symptoms for a while. Hence the reason I've not called him. Maybe writing out her diet would help, perhaps someone can see a possible allergy that I do not. Her diet is pretty consistant. The child loves yogurt. She has a whole milk organic yogurt with a green smoothie in the mornings. I have been putting a few drops of cod liver oil in her green smoothie for her skin (keeps little eczema places clear) as well as 2 drops of GSE for immune support. It's also cut with 2 oz of water. Sometimes, she'll want a scrambled egg, but usually about once a week. For a snack, she'll eat a few crackers with a handful of raisins or dried cranberries. Usually, she'll eat whatever was leftover from dinner the night before for lunch, with a fresh carrot or apple slices for lunch. She loves cheese, but I try very hard to limit that, it just constipates her so. With whatever we have for dinner, we always have a salad of fresh tomato, carrot, cucumber, spinach or romaine, avocado, or broccoli. She always has her veggies. For a snack before bed, she'll have either apple slices or pear, popcorn or crackers. Her diet is pretty consistant. Oh, and I allow her juices during the day, if she'll drink a glass of water first. Even then, the juice is cut with water. She doesn't usually drink milk unless she's having a cookie or someone offers it to her for dinner. She's not a big fan. Okay, all this to say, I know there's wisdom on this forum. Maybe someone's had the same experience or just maybe, someone's got the answer. Should I be worried? Should I bite my lip and take her to the doc? What say you? Thank you so much for reading this and for your time. Blessings, Jacqui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Dear Jacqui, It definitely sounds as if she's getting too much cheese. I'd cut this food out altogether. The Crackers should also go. I've been seeing a lot of stomach disorders recently in adults as well, so I think I'll post my Cabbage / Acidophilous recipe again. Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom, Doc Doc's Cultured Cabbage Juice Recipe Cut up and put one whole cabbage in blender. Fill with water, and blend. Put in glass jar and cover with saran wrap and rubber band Put in closet for 3 days Strain and drink 3-4 cups a day This drink will heal an inflamed colon. colonize friendly bacteria , (which antibiotics kill along with the bad guys, leaving room for the bad guys to return.) and help the colon produce b vitamins. The results are usually noticeable immediately. This is an excellent remedy and awesome at replacing friendly bacteria (much better, and cheaper than buying acidophilus at the store as it literally creates trillions of the good guys ;o) Much love, Ian "Doc" Shillington Jacqueline Leal wrote: I'm a bit worried about my youngest daughter.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Sounds like a dairy intolerance. Casein (and gluten too) sometimes messes with the receptors in the brain causing an addictive response. I would eliminate all forms of dairy, overt and hidden, for at least six weeks, but I bet you will see improvement sooner than that. If you are nursing her at all, you must avoid dairy as well.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Dear Doc and worried mom I can confirm that your cabbage formula is very effective on stomach problems, I had great results after threee days, its an acquired taste but if you want a settled digestive track ........
