An honest place where autism, GFCF diet, and poop meet. This is the sister site to Tori's GFCF Blog. [Note: The images here are obviously graphic in nature. The purpose is not to be gross or funny -- any parent dealing with autism spectrum disorders and/or the gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet knows that poop is of primary concern. My goal here is to establish a place where our poop photos can help each other compare and contrast and thereby help our kids.]

Constipation, White Strings
click on photo to enlarge
Source: 3-year old boy with "moderate autism." On GFCF diet and "tons of supplements."
Style: Little balls. Mom reports "tiny white string-like things in them."
Notes: Child is currently taking Diflucan for yeast and "has weird poops," says mom. "One day they are formed, the next day they'll be runny, and many days he doesn't have any at all (sometimes up to 3 or 4 days)." "I noticed they had tiny white string-like things in them," mom says, "so I called the pediatrician and made an appointment for tomorrow to discuss and pick up a pin worm test. (Better safe than sorry!) I'm not sure what they are but have 3 guesses: pin worms, yeast die off, or undigested rice crispy treats from last night...you tell me!"

If your child is still eating rice krispie treats you are feeding the yeast and it will not go away. It is also useless to take anti-fungals when still eating sugary carby foods.
