Re: yogurt&baby food

[Guest guest]

Thank you both Sheila and Marisol for the input on the

yogurt and baby food. It's horrible to think

commercial baby food can be so bad. I am getting ready

to cook my own.

Also, after a week on SCD (even with the probably

awfully bad baby food), my son is no longer allergic

to almonds, so I can probably start with the yogurt

too. I tested almonds for three days without any

reaction, I am stopping now to give him a break on the

almonds and will introduce cashews and macadamias

next.
