Parasite update
Well, my daughter completed 7 days of Clarkia and I wanted to update you on my findings. Her stool now looks like normal, healthy breast-fed baby poop. I noticed the first BM after starting Clarkia had only 3 black strips - compared to 50 + before. Strangely, a rubbery yellow object came out at that time and I know she didn't injest anything even closely resembling that. There were also small grey thread-like things in there which I had never seen before. Then, the second BM a few days later was free & clear of any black strips or grey things!
I also gave her a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil each day. I think that helped too.
I figured I would give her body a 7 day break, then repeat the de-worming process for another 7 days. Does that sound reasonable?
I looked at the pictures of worm eggs in your booklet and I didn't see anything that looked like what was in my daughter's diaper. I've scoured the internet and can't find any pictures to reference to except for microscopic egg images. It must have been some kind of critter though, and the Clarkia apparently wiped it out! Unless the black objects were banana strings like I mentioned before? I did stop feeding her bananas too.
