Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 My son is away at school, so I've been making alll his SCD compliant food at home and driving in twice a week to bring him a fresh supply. I'm nervous about how long the food will keep. He refrigerates everything. Anyone know how long until things start to go bad? Souffle bread (made w/eggs and DCCC) Pecan butter bread (from Stage 2 pecanbutter recipes) Bison burgers Grilled chicken Butternut squash (mashed w/butter and honey) Applesauce Chicken soup w/egg noodles Cooked Pineapple Also, souffle bread gets soggy by the next day. Any suggestions how to keep it fresh? Thanks Caroline 20 yr old son w/Crohn's SCD 4 1/2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline, I would freeze the food and then keep it in an car fridge enroute. It should last at least 3-4 days without difficulty -- I was planning on this for my one week trip to Albany. The souffle bread can be placed in a toaster (on very light) or toaster oven or regular oven on 250F for a few minutes to get rid of the tackiness. Don't leave it too long, or he'll have crackers instead of bread! — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 THanks Marilyn. And thanks for the souffle bread suggestions way back. That (with some of the variations you suggested) has really been his safest food to fall back on. BTW, he'd love to have crackers. Are crackers considered a more advanced food or as they as easy as the soft bread? Caroline > > > Caroline, > > I would freeze the food and then keep it in an > car fridge enroute.

Are crackers considered a more advanced food or as they as easy as the soft bread? Given how light and crispy the crackers come out, I don't think they would be much more difficult to digest than the bread itself. Just make sure any dip he has for them is quite soft, because they're very fragile. And make amazing cracker crumbs. I'm threatening to see how they would work for making breaded fried chicken. I'm glad the souffle bread has allowed you to make a break-through for your son's foods! — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Dip? He'd kill for dip. He's tapering off prednisone, so being very very careful with his food choices right now. BUT, if you have a recipe for DIP that is easily tolerated, he'd be one happy camper.

" (quoth the toons in " Rabbit. " ) I don't yet have an onion dip mix that I consider acceptable, but I do have ranch dressing, and several others. Can he do half & half yogurt? — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 No yogurt of any kind Marilyn. Tried everything from goat milk to cream, from ice cream, to cooked yogurt, and he can't tolerate it yet. No onions either. What he can tolerate: your mustard powder/vinegar recipe, in which he dips chicken, squashes, cooked eggs, butter, coconut oil, honey, pecan nut butter, DCCC. I'm afraid to add any new foods while he's tapering. Any easy dips/spreads with these limited ingredients? Are there any squash dips? I've got a houseful of acorn squash and sweet potato squash a friend grew for me. > > At 06:13 PM 10/18/2008, you wrote: > >Dip? He'd kill for dip.
