Arowroot hasn't worked!!


I gave Teddie arrowroot with her fish this morning (after going out to the PO at an unholy hour), but unfortunately she has now developed the runs again. She went to the tray about an hour ago and it blasted out of her and she has been 3 times since then and it is all very watery, so that plan didn't go according to plan . So, I will have to let her tummy empty tonight and then give her fish in the morning. I'll give her the tree bark powder with it for the next week and see if that can help strenghten her tummy and then maybe try her with some chicken.

Such a shame that poor Teddies tummy is so intolerant. I sincerely hope that it gets better as she gets older.

Well, that's one more thing to cross off the list of possible foods for our little monster. Back to the drawing board

Have you tried mixing a small amount of boiled rice with the fish Alex?

Re: Arowroot hasn't worked!!


When I've tried the rice with her in the past Mags, she pushes it to one side, no matter how well I mix it, and wont eat the stuff!! I'll give it another go with tonights fish, maybe boil it in the same water I poach the fish in, see if that helps.
