Rice cereal mixed with stage 1 prunes.

Poop bomb approx 3 min after you clean her up!

The grains and wheat might be doing it. Lessen that for a few days and see if it helps. You can also take prunes and blend them up into a juice or mash and try that.

You could jsut back off on the solids for a while to see if that helps. I wouldn't do prunes/prune juice either, just because I dont like them, I definitely wouldn't do dr pepper, especially at 7 months! Yikes.
