What is causing my baby to have green diarrhea?




I am exclusively pumping. When I give my baby just straight breastmilk he gets green diarrhea and a terrible diaper rash and is really fussy after eating. I switched to formula for a few days to see if it would make a difference. When I give him formula (Enfamil Gentlease) his stool returns to a mustard color and his rash clears up. What could be the problem?

Diarrhea…?




Last night my girl woke us up in the middle of the night for a potty break. My mom went down with her and came up saying Kiley had diarrhea. This morning my dad went down and he told me in a note on my door that she had diarrhea all over her crate. They left some on the back deck for me to look at (i always inspect runny poo for blood, objects, etc because they refuse to do it) and i noticed that there were two discolored spots (darker than the rest… maybe blood?) It was also very watery and grainy if that makes sense. She’s had diarrhea once more about half an hour ago (no discoloration, watery, grainy) and has peed three times (large puddles) since about 7 this morning.

She was spayed on Friday morning (past Friday), her incision looks normal and healing well. She was more rambunctious the past few days and i took her for two short walks yesterday to expel energy.

We did change her food to Canidae and she picked old food out of new and ate the new. No new treats.
I am calling the vet after class to ask them but was wondering is anyone had any suggestions as to what it could be while i wait for class to get out. The change of food? Maybe she was too energetic yesterday?

She does not have access to plants (and does not eat grass or flowers in yard.) She does not have access to any objects she can swallow or chew pieces off of. She does not get human food any more. She has not been around other dogs OR dog poop.
Don’t know if this relates but she’s had this before – the vet told us it was either mushrooms or her food (it went away after we mowed lawn and changed food, so i don’t know which it was.)

We fed her rice and chicken and the vet had us give her Kaopectate then, the only problem with feeding her the rice is she’ll stop eating the kibble again. We just got her to START eating it lol.
She didn’t eat anything while at the vets last Friday morning to Saturday morning. Her stool had been fine up until last night – nice and formed and no blood.

She is drinking water and i try to feed her small amounts but she only seems to want to eat at night and ignores any other food i put down during the day usually (i posted a question about that as well.)

My dress is too tight. I need to lost like 2-3 inches. It zips but I couldn’t sit w/o busting the seam if I tried! I cant even hunch its SO tight! What do I do? My wedding is in 3 1/2 weeks but I have a photo shoot in two weeks and I’m sure I’ll have to be moving somewhat! I’m thinking not eating for a few days. OR eating like one meal a day. I know I need to lose weight the correct way and diet and excersize but I dont have that kind of time. And don’t say I should’ve been dieting sooner b/c I already know I screwed that up! So should I take water pills? Colon Pills? Will toxic releif pills make me break out since they are taking toxins out of your body? If you recommend some sort of body shaper/girdle pls include a link or name brand. Thanks.

I did post a similar post a few days ago however the situation has worsened. My dad is 73 y/o with a large mass on his colon. Currently he is in SICU with c-diff and septic shock. He is on 100% breathing machine and his kidneys are not working. After a bowel resection he current has blood in his stool. His palette count is low and his breathing is fast. They suggested kidney dialysis but with VERY high risks such as bleeding, heart and lung strain and more infection. I am looking to see if anyone has knowledge of all these symptoms and what to expect. Thank you for taking the time to read

Looking to detox my body for a few days before starting a healthier diet plan. Just been eating way too much on the go fast food and alcohol lately. I’m trying to decide between the Hollywood Miracle 48 hour diet and The Master Cleanse plan with the maple syrup, lemon and cayenne pepper. I am interested in which is a more effective detox for the body, as opposed to some kinda of miracle weight loss.

I am considering starting a diet with a few days fasting and wondering if anyone with some knowledge on the subject can shed any light on advantages, disadvantages, risks, etc?

I have IBS which only comes in bouts and I just am convinced it will happen on my wedding day. Immodium usually cures the bout at the time but just to be sure… could I take the 2 immodium that you take initially to stop diarhea the day before the wedding and then 1 the morning of even if I am not having any symptoms?? I know I can but what I am really asking is what would I do if I became constipated for like a few days afterwards…??? HELP!

Anyone know about colon or body cleansing?




I’ve been interesting in cleansing my body internally for awhile now. I don’t want to visit any clinics or anything and get that huge tube (LOL) but I am interested in taking some supplements or vitamins. I’ve been reading up on Dr. Natura Colonix and although it’s mainly positive, I also seen a lot of negative reviews. But I want to feel healthier and I don’t want my gas or breath to smell bad. I also remember seeing an infomercial on television about a colon cleansing product that seemed very good at removing a lot of the waste in regular bowel movements (nothing like laxatives though). Does anyone know that product or can recommend anything else?
No. This has nothing to do with diet pills or wanting to be thin. I just heard it’s important to cleanse your body every once in awhile with a cleansing that lasts for a few days and not like, months or anything since that’ll take away your body’s nutrients and moisture.

Is this a good routine?




I have sensitive skin and (I think) moderate, persistent acne.
I just started doing this routine a few days ago:
Morning and night, I wash first with Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash, then moisturize with Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturizer with 2% salicylic acid . (and if my skin is still a little dry, I use a teeny bit of Clean and Clear oxygenating moisturizer with SPF 15)
Do you think this is a good routine for me?
If so, how long do you think it will take for my acne to clear up (or at least get better)?
