Re: New to diet but have done research.

Hi,

Can't answer your question about the intro diet, we had to work our

way through that similar situation with Cameron (4 yrs old in May),

but a fantastic thing about taking his supplements happened that I

never expected... He has to take about 15 capsules a day (of various

supps) and our DAN! just told us to show him how to swallow a capsule

like an adult. He DID and still does, esp. since he gets to chase

those capsules with diluted Welch's grape juice - something he hasn't

laid eyes on for almost a year while GFCFSF.

Give it a try - he may surprise you...

ps - and Cameron's also a major gagger with certain foods/textures/smells.

As long as the legal juice you used was diluted, then a fair amount

is okay. It will supply carbs and nutrients. Try to balance it out

somewhat with eggs and chicken. Will he eat the cooked carrots?

(Cooked veggies help against constipation)

> does he have to have the broth?

No, he doesn't.

>We have constipation problems.

Since you are dealing with constipation, 2-3 days on the intro is

sufficient. (maximum of 5 days on the intro)

There are two important links on constipation at

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/

Go to the " Knowledge Base " and then to

1. " Constipation " and

2. " Constipation continued "

Some put them in diluted juices, homemmade applesauce/pearsauce or

mashed ripe banana
