If you started with the intro or at least peeled and cooked fruit and

veggies and then gradually try more complex foods any negative changes

in symptoms would let you know you aren't ready for them yet. My DH

did the diet a few yrs back and since he didn't have any symptoms just

ate anything legal. Does your DH have symtoms of any kind?

What foods would you consider more complex? My son really wanted some

(legal) peanuts we had in the house but he's only been on the diet 3

weeks and is really turned off of baked nut products after his first try

on the diet. He tried a little baked nuts with no problems. AFAIK, he

hasn't had any fallout from the nuts. Thanks and take care, Fay (13 y.o.

son with Crohns)

Have a look at the chart at

If it isn't clear, or you have questions let me know.

Hi likes blueberries and actually ate the muffins in The Grain Free

Gourmet (he likes it, hey MIkey!). He claims he'll turn down any baked

nut products. So this is a great time of year to be ordering new nut

flour though I'll have to handle it carefully. Because with Passover

coming up, I'll splurge and make some great nut things with any extra

flour for the rest of the family too (e.g. pizza).

He also liked Raman Prasad's cheese crackers. Like most things, he ate

them to the point of becoming sick of them, so I won't make them so soon.

He really just misses bread and pretzels etc. I made " pretzels " with the

Lois Lang bread. They came out in a blob, which I sliced and baked like

biscotti. I thought t was really onto something but he didn't like them.

At this point, we should be able to experiment. He had a peeled raw

apple, and a very ripe pear with no problems. I'm gong to try cooked

cabbage next week. Possibly a little early, it'll just be one month, but

it's for a special dinner and it's something legal he asked for -

meatballs cooked on a bed of wilted cabbage in tomato sauce.

Thanks and take care, Fay

P.S. Nut butters aren't appealing. I made a cashew butter muffin that I

agreed was not exactly tasty. (No offense, just our tastes.)
