Making chicken broth w/ or w/o vegetables

July 8, 2008

Hi- I have a daughter who is everely sensitive to just about

everything. the only thing she can eat right is Purlty, cod fish,

lamb, french green beans (smaller are eaiser to breakdown), spiniach,

and non-cruciferous greens, olive oil. Not much - but it is working.

In the past I make her organic chickens in the crockpot and reserve

broth. I have thrown in onion and celery- but removed them when

straining broth. Recenlty I did not have either so we went with the

broth w/o added " flavoring " Anyway- just made a batch that had

onions and celery. I am wondering if the onions and celery (though

removed) could reult in an increase in gas.

My daughter is nearly 6 and we just achieved 27lbs. I blenderize her

food to be given via a feeding tube. She is non-verbal but

somunicates w/ a yes/no board.

Your insigths have been helpful as I assess what seems to bother Kyli-

I find validation in what you all are experienceing. I also have

troubles but not to the xtreme she does.

Kyli does not officially have celiac- but has severe intolerances of

all straches/carbs etc. We figured this out slowly w/ the elp of a

fabulous applied kinnesiologist and then I found out about SCD.

Turns out we were already doing SCD for the most part but at least we

became validated. GI reports show esophigitis, gastristis-- which s

tands to reason colitis too- but she is only 6 and has been

hospitalized so much for other reaspons these last few months- so a

lower GI scope was not done. Had a metametrix test and all and

bacteria was normal- but we have been on the diet for a while.

I would really like to know if some of you could not tolerate broth

w/ added vegetables and if it increased bloating/gas etc...... Kyli

seems to be having lots of trouble right now and that is the ony

thing I can think of. Would so appreicate your urgent feedback
