Re: Intro Diet...again

" why would you THEN go back and do the intro diet? Is it more at

that point to test what foods effect their behavior/ gut problems? "

Yes. Sometimes kids will willingly eat foods that they don't really

digest that well. But most of the time once we can get them away from

their starchy diets, then they become more willing to try new foods.

But sometimes it is still helpful at that point to go back to the

intro diet and add foods slowly to see which ones work best. That's

not to say that healing won't take place if you never do the intro,

but it seems to take more time. The easier the food is to digest, the

quicker the healing.

I am so confused about the intro diet and adding foods. We're on Day 6 here --

we did the intro diet for two days. After that, we pretty quickly added in a

variety of SCD-legal foods -- applesauce, bread, nut butters, jellies made from

boiled fruit, SCD ketchup, nut muffins, yogurt, SCD cookies. Some people seem

to say that, if there aren't any digestive problems going on, this is OK.

Others say it's important to start the intro diet and add one food at a time,

slowly. Some, like Summer, mentioned that they did SCD too fast first, and went

back and did it slower and more successfully (What does " more successfully " mean

in your case?)

If my boys don't have any diarrhea or other obvious digestive problems, am I OK

giving them a wide variety of SCD foods this early? Or is there some reason

that this would jeopardize the healing?

Thanks,

Then, I'd just take the old foods away and give him the new ones, even

if it means skipping the intro diet.

Several families have done this and after a while they've been able to

go back and do the intro diet later. Most kids do expand their food

preferences once the forbidden foods are no longer part of their diet.
