I've had it for years. Then I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I tried changing my diet to suit the diabetes - low carbs, whole wheats, leafy greens - and my IBS flared up so badly. It was bad before I started taking my metformin/glucofage but it got increasingly worse when I changed my diet for the diabetes.
Newborns are also coated with a thick, pasty, white material called vernix caseosa (made up of the fetus' shed skin cells and skin gland secretions), most of which will be washed off during the baby's first bath.
See your babyâs doctor the same day if your baby: 1  Is very yellow or orange (skin color changes start from the head and spread to the toes). 2  Is hard to wake up or will not sleep at all. 3  Is not breastfeeding or sucking from a bottle well. 4  Is very fussy. 5  Does not have enough wet or dirty diapers.
