Source: 19-month old girl.

Style: Loose/unformed with melted cheese-like strings.

Notes: Mom wonders if this is yeast overgrowth. "Over the past 7-10 days she has started occasionally tip-toe walking and hand/arm flapping when very excited or very upset. These are new bahaviours for her, and we wonder if they may be related to yeast overgrowth." Other notes from mom: "We reduced her dose of biotin a few weeks ago because I was wondering if she was reacting to it. Now I think her yeast has flared back up as a result. She is currently on a Klaire probiotic (infant formula) and 3,000 mcg biotin twice a day. She had been on 4,500 mcg twice a day in the past and we saw good die-off from that, so I think we need to up the dose again." Child is almost exclusively fed Neocate infant formula "since her GI issues are so severe."
