Help Please. Does anyone have information about the artificial fat "Olean"?
Young 18 yr old mom who has been successfully nursing her 2 month old baby
called today. She ate some chips containing Olean and it gave her terrible
diarrhea. She has stopped brestfeeding and has been feeding formula for 2
days, pumping and dumping her breastmilk "to protect the baby."
Her father (baby's grandfather) found information on the internet (and you
know that if anyone finds it on the internet it must be true) that olean
stays in the system for 2 weeks!!! So she plans to pump and dump that long!
Nothing I said made a dent in her belief that she could harm her baby by
nursing, or that formula could have hazards. He is doing fine on the formula
and she is not over her diarrhea yet. What she is experiencing is far more
powerful than what I say to her. I don't blame her for worrying and wanting
to protect her baby.
Does anyone have information on this artificial fat or know where I can get
information? I do plan to call Frito-Lay tomorrow.
Thanks,
