Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hey group. Proud momma here! I just wanted to let you know that after lots of experimenting I got my daughter to eat walnuts, zucchini, and raisins within the last 2 weeks. We were stuck because of the texture/ taste issues. I believe she is healing because she is trying new foods now or at least starting to. She has been the most healthy child or teacher in her class so far this year.? Is this my child?Also, she has become much more spontaneously verbal since 2 days ago. Sometimes appropriate and sometimes not but, we'll work on that. I am just so proud of her newest accomplishments! Jenn & KALI 95% SCD 4 months Keep it coming!!!
