Her tummy is getting bigger and circles under the eyes seem darker.

She's also wanting to eat all the time. Is it yeast? Could it be

phenol? If so, should I take away the homemade applesauce and home-

squeezed apple juice?

Is increase in tummy size normal? How long before it gets better?

Her diet now consists only of boiled chicken, chicken broth, green

beans, eggs, home-squeezed and sieved apple juice (diluted), homemade

applesauce. If I take the apples away, she won't have any carb! She

won't have anything to drink either since she doesn't like water.

Please help. Any suggestions will be much appreciated. It's really

painful to see her bloated tummy and dark circles and tantrums.

What about carrots and squash? One of the squashes ( " cinderella " aka

Long Island Cheese squash) made my son's belly bloat up and it also gave

him diarrhea. He's okay with butternut, though. We're practically

living off of carrots right now as far as carbs go - at least for that

child, the rest of us are okay with foods that he can't handle (I'm

trying to delay the fruit this time as well). He didn't handle the

green beans well either, or the tomatoes that I tried last night. I

think the big belly could be a sign that some particular food isn't

being digested well.

Whoops, I was thinking that that didn't sound right! LOL. We're also

having honey - mixed into carrots and squash and gelatin - along with

grape juice gelatin, and he can do the zucchini. So, carrots aren't

his sole carb, but they are his main carb right now, until we find more

things that he can handle. He's not ASD, but is a true celiac.

Hi ,

The increased appetite is normal when starting the diet.

The bloated tummy and dark circles could be die off and/or yeast.

I haven't heard of phenol problems causing bloating (but it may be

just unreported), but yes to the dark circles.

If so, should I take away the homemade applesauce and home-

Bloating isn't normal. If bloated it would seem to indicate

something isn't tolerated.

Since you had trouble with spinach, bananas, and now applesauce ,

apple juice (made at home) and green beans it is very hard to tell

which of these may be causing trouble. The best thing to do is go

back to the intro for another day or two to get things under control

and then add foods very slowly one at a time. You can use welch's

grape juice (diluted) on the intro besides apple cider.

If you think phenols may be a problem you can try double peeling the

apples before juicing them. Most phenolic compounds are closest to

the peels.

Let me know how she is doing.
