Hi ,

I feel along with you. I would not be able to do this diet for my daughter

without Digestive Wellness's delicious baked goods and ingredients.

Digestive Wellness has an online store where they sell exclusive SCD products.

Good Luck!

You are going to try and batch cook on your days off like breads and try to plan

out as menu for the week. I know it is tough but it is well worth it for your

child. Nothing good for you is ever easy. Convience foods are probably the

cause of many health problems in this country. I think that if you can make

extra large portions on the weekend and then freeze them, it might help. Also,

save the more time consuming breakfasts for the weekend, i.e. pancakes and serve

hard boiled eggs or peanut butter bread for the weekday breakfasts with banana

or other fruit.

I agree with Suzanne, also the beginning was so hard for me cooking SCD, then

one day, I figured out I had committed to memory all the weekly stuff, and could

churn it out while doing other things. So much of it is organization, which I

lacked. ALso, if you live in my area (I live in Portland area, Or/Wa), I am able

to help you make a few things. Let me know.

Thank you so much Dena! WOW! I'm looking at digestivewellness.com right now, and

I cannot believe what I'm seeing! This is such a boost!

Although I'm aware that Elaine prefers home-made food only, I feel like there's

no choice. I don’t feel like I can do this diet without help. I'm sure this is

better than getting off the diet completely; it would be such a pity.

I really appreciate it Dena!

Meet a real enstein when it comes to SCD cooking who sometimes doesn't keep

up

with baking. I had a poached egg on " unbread " for breakfast. Just press some

almond

flour into a circle on to a plate and plopped the poached egg on top. It tastes

good. mak

The almond flour was from almonds with skins on for a coarse texture. I keep

some on

hand for breading things. Many people find the skins hard to digest and

generally use

blanched almond flour. Afterf ive years on SCD, I tolerate the whole nut well.

little girl is controlled, we have been on SCD for 4 mos now we have seen

great strides, however, there are times when the challange is much to great

for me to cope with. I also work full-time my commute is 2 hrs from my

home so I am up really early and rely on public transport, but my husband is

a very loving and helpful man, TG for him. So, when I fell like I just

can't do it anymore I try to look at my son and then solider on as its

really working.

Is it possible to hire a cook or engage a relative for a day to prepare a number

of SCD

foods in quantity and then you can freeze them in meal size portions? Another

idea is to

stick to broiled meat fish and poultry and two or three vegetables on your

busiest days.

You can make large pots of meat sauce, stews, even vegetable puddings that will

freeze

well. SCD breads, crackers, muffin, browniess and other baked goods also can be

frozen.

So can soups. Many of the entrees can be slow cooked while you are engaged in

other

activities.

Hi Carol,

Thank you for your advice. A cook is just beyond our financial means, and

family, yes, they are doing their best to help.

What really keeps us going is Digestive Wellness's food items. I would simply

not manage without them. I hope, in the near future to manage on my own with

cooking a lot and freezing, but until that happens, fortunately, I have some

breads & muffins from Digestive Wellness. My son is doing great w/ their food.

They're so light and nutritious.
