mucousy poop

[Anonymous]

Hi, I’m Angel and new to this board. I usually post on the mspi quick topic board. I started the TED a week and a half ago. My 2 1/2 month old daughter has shown significant signs of improvement. She is not fussy anymore and has been “sleeping like a baby.” I couldn’t be happier about it except that her poop is still all mucousy and she fusses when she has to go. Should the mucous still be there? If so, how long until I can open up her diaper and not see it?

hi & welcome! here’s my welcome/intro: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853&am p;PN=1&TPN=1

is there mucous w/ every diaper? are are most of them yellow/mustardy seedy breastfed baby diapers?

I think some green & some mucous from time to time is ‘normal’

my second baby doesn’t have reflux (hallelujah!!)

and has mucousy or green mucousy diapers from time to time…

I think that if you do the TED and notice these occuring after you introduce a food back into your diet, then you will have more of an idea of how the food you ingest effects your baby’s diapers…keeping a food journal might help with this as well.

glad you found us!

Laura,

Every time she goes it is all mucous, no seeds. It is yellow mustard like in color and sometimes greenish but definately no seeds. It is always explosive. Nearly everyday I have a onesie and sleeper to wash out. She is much happier since I started the TED and eliminated my vitamins. Hopefully her stool will change soon.

I would say that mucousy poop all the time is definitely not normal but since you just started the TED, it could take a month or more for all the milk proteins and other offending proteins to get out of your system and hers. I would keep up the TED for awhile before you start introducing foods back in. I hope the mucous stops soon! Good luck and so glad she is feeling and sleeping better!
