Do any of you know if pitted prunes are more likely to cause “movements” than those with pits? This may seem like a funny (if not gross) question but here’s the reason I ask.

BC can eat breakfast prunes (prunes with pits) by the handful and won’t suffer any of the side effects. Yesterday, I picked up the wrong prunes from the market and today all of the adults in the house have been under the weather, leaving BC to fend for himself.

For lunch he ate “the big raisins with the hard thing in the middle”, and yogurt. And throughout the day, he continued to snack on the big raisins because “The hard thing is gone” Mind you, this is coming from a three year old.

No one stopped him because he’s never had a reaction to prunes….until now. He's been up and down all evening with “movements” and now his little bottom is beet red. I called my Grandma and Momma Ames to ask if there’s a different but neither of them knew for certain.

This is strange indeed. The big raisins never do this to him. Anyway, I thought I’d ask since many of you are parents. Sorry if I grossed anyone out. Just trying to get to the bottom of this.
