New and have a few questions...

[Guest guest]

I'm fairly new to all of this as our 11 year old daughter was

diagnosed with Crohn's a couple of weeks ago. She is currently taking

Pentasa and Prilosec to treat the Crohn's that was found to be in her

colon, lower small intestine, stomach, and also in her esophagus. She

has not gained any weight or height for 2 years.

We started the Intro diet yesterday. My question is: Since she was

already " symptom free " before we started the diet, do I still need to

move slowly through the stages? She has no diarrhea at all. The

doctor said that is due to the fact that she has mild CD in her colon

but it is worse in her lower intestine, the reason for not gaining

weight or growing.

I specifically wanted to give her some bananas that I had dehydrated

myself using VERY ripe bananas. I did dip the bananas in a solution

of water and citric acid to prevent browning. Is it okay for her to

have that now?

I did let her have homemade applesauce and SCD yogurt today with a

little honey on top and a mashed up VERY ripe banana. What about

cinnamon on her applesauce. Is that okay to give at this point? We

are only on day two but the book says that they only need to stay on

the intro until diarrhea clears and she does not have that.

Well, I guess that's all for now.

Thank you for letting me join your group. :-)
