Re: Will you analyze this poopy?

What solids did you introduce that caused the constipation? Sounds like fatty

acid malabsorption to me.

She's basically only been eating bananas, pears and zucchini (with

an occassional pear here and there.)

Yes, she's primarily breastfed still. ACtually, she started solids

at 6 months but spit them up so we stopped. Then reintroduced at 8-

9 months or so here and there until last month when starting scd I

became more consistent in giving her solids (3x a day). These foods

seem to be the only ones she can tolerate right now. I made the

mistake of trying some pureed chicken (scd style) and she had a

violent reaction to that - projectile vomiting. So now I don't do

any kind of poultry either.

You might want to try lamb. It's a very low-allergen meat (chicken

and pork are fairly high, and beef can be problematic for some very

sensitive babies who have milk or corn allergies). My son, who is

allergic to almost everything, has tolerated lamb since he was 9

months old. The GI said we could have introduced it earlier than

that.

You can get ground lamb at most grocery stores, and unlike most

other meats, it tends not to be adulterated with lots of additives.

On top of that, lamb is grass-fed, not grain-fed, which leads to a

healthier animal. There's not a lot that producers can do to mess up

a sheep, the animals don't lend themselves to mass-production. I

don't buy organic lamb though, since it's hugely expensive, though I

wish I could afford to.

It's a great source of iron, which will become more important to her

as she gets a little older.

Summer,

This is interesting about lamb developing tough peptides at high

heats. Can you say more about that? On the intro diet, I've started

broiling my son's lamb patties rather than pan-frying them as we

always did, and both methods use high heat - broiling more so than

pan-frying. Now I wonder if baking at a lower heat would be better.

Can you say more about tough peptides? I'm not sure that I

understand what you mean by this.

Thanks!

Thanks! It's good to hear support for what seemed intuitively best.

Broiling made the lamb patties tough and crusty, none of us liked

them as much. I had been panfrying them on very low heat, and I

often sort of poached them with a bit of water. I will experiment

with steaming them or low-heat baking as well.

I used to love lamb, in the old days, but with daily exposure for 3

years we have grown a bit tired of it, though it is still one of his

yummier meats (it beats ostrich!) I still look forward to using

recipes with other ingredients in the future. Right now we just eat

whole, single-ingredient foods with only oil and seasalt for

seasonings, no spices or other ingredients, due to my son's

intolerances.

Yes, I started SCD for myself figuring it would help her. I had

been diagnosed w/IBS in the past and have a history (since birth) of

digestive issues. None really serious except duodenal atresia

surgery at birth.

My daughter showed classic signs of allergies (red, puffy eyes, dark

cirles, GERD, little to no sleeping (seriously - like 5-8 hours in a

24 hour period), etc. etc.

So . . . If found out about SCD and started her too. (Well, as much

as I can a 10 mo. old.)

I've been told about the egg yolk before too. I may try that. I

will try the lamb as well (although I can't stomach it.)
