My sons has chronic diarrhea and he’s been on inulin for 3 months. HIs diarrhea is improved from 5 times a day, to now 1 or 2 times a day but it’s still loose. Why is this?
Sometimes the amount of fish oil or olive oil in the protocol can contribute to loose stool. I recommend my patients stop the oils for a week or so to see if the remaining diarrhea resolves. If so, I restart the oils but split the dosing into 2 portions. If the diarrhea does not stop, then I recommend discussing the situation with the child’s pediatrician.
