individual pineapple packs, nuts and cranberry and raisin mix packs from either Trader Joes or Cosco- I think it's Trader Joe's.

Website info for prepared foods ??

Can anyone recommend websites to order pre-packaged SCD snacks? I have ordered the Apple Crisps from Digestive Wellness, but other than the fruit leather, the selection is limited. Both of my childrens' teachers have requested shelf stable food choices to keep in the class for unexpected snacking - like prizes for games, etc. and freezers are not an option. Thank you for any assistance!Kim Mom of Matt - 7 yr old newly diag Crohns and Kailee - 12 yr old ASD

Well, that's the problem. SAFE snacks for SCD are homemade -- and may not

be shelf stable.

A couple items I can think of contain nuts, and your school is probably a

nut-free zone.

Terri and Kurt said, " individual pineapple packs, nuts

and cranberry and raisin mix packs from either Trader Joes or Cosco- I

think it's Trader Joe's. " and this is a good suggestion.

However, Trader Joe's has a very limited distribution area.

Also, with ANY pre-packaged fruit, you have to be exceptionally careful

that they do not add sugars or starches to it. Both cranberries and

pineapple are especially bad for this.

I dehydrate my own pineapple and it keeps very well.

You might suggest to the teacher that she make something other than food

a prize, especially considering the obesity issue in this country these

days.

Marilyn, my understanding is that canned fruits are "legal" as long as they are packaged in their own juice with nothing added. Also if nuts are raw and cranberries are raw or dehydrated and no sugar or starch are listed in the ingredients, aren't they legal? Am I missing something here? Yes obesity is a problem and sometimes a kid just wants to fit in. And I thought your suggestion about something other than food as a treat was a good suggestion. My daughter's class at that age asked for unopened Mc 's toys.

Terri,

You are correct that fruits canned in their own juice are legal -- but

these are few and far between. I've even had trouble getting pineapple in

its own juice: Dole has started doing " pineapple in pineapple

juice " to which they add things, and to which I react. But I never

did to the " own juice " ones.

For instance, pears in white grape juice would not be legal.

Raw fruits, if tolerated, are fine. Dehydrated fruits, as long as nothing

illegal is added to them when they are processed. I have yet to find

dried cranberries which don't have (a) sugar, ( high fructose corn

syrup, or © raw cane juice, all of which boil down to " sugar "

added to them.

That's why I bought a dehydrator. Just couldn't trust the commercial

stuff.

Marilyn, thanks for the response. I need to check the label on those nut packs at the store. It was pre-SCD but I thought there was no sugar and maybe it was some berry other than cranberry because what you said makes sense. I know that the pears and peaches are packed in other stuff but the Dole pineapple packs are in their own juice.

I bought a dehydrator last night. Do you have a favorite dehydrating recipe other than au-natural?

I found a packaged dried apple/pear snack that my daughter enjoys. It is Brothers-All-Natural Crisps. We get them at Costco.

Also, we found l'ara' bars sold at Costco. They look legal, but we haven't eatten them because they have nuts and we aren't ready for nuts yet.

Another thought is that we also get individual applesause cups that have no sugar. They are from Giant Food Store and they are the Nature's Promise brand.

Hope that helps.

My daughter does pretty well with raisens, as long and she doesn't go crazy and eat a ton. You could get small boxes of raisens for snacks. We get Nature's Promise at the Giant. The ingredients are just organic raisens.

Jennies macaroons are not legal...there's something in the powdered

egg whites, I think. I read about it here once.
