Question 1

The frequency of my kids poops increased from 1 to 2 times a day to 3 to 4 times a day. His stool is not loose but just the frequency increased. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Increased frequency of stool without diarrhea is generally nothing to worry about. Sometimes increased frequency of stooling when on the protocol might be from the amount of oil the child is consuming.  I recommend my patients double-check the amount of oil they are given by looking at the table in the book (also available in the Nemechek Navigator). Adjust doses if necessary, and then I recommend giving the fish oil and olive oil at separate times.
