Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hi Fay, > How soon in the diet can we start (lightly sauteed or steamed) mushrooms? Has his diarrhea stopped yet? If his bm's are better you could try a little and see how it goes - But, if he is still heavy into the flare it may be prudent to wait a while longer. When the diarrhea stops then try a small amount (mushrooms cooked til tender) and see how he does with it. > This is for a 13 y.o. with Crohn's, who's showing improvement on the > starter diet.

I'm worried about the seeds. The french cut beans refers to the frozen beans - they are usually smaller and more tender than the regular cut frozen beans. If you can buy fresh beans they would be fine cooked or steamed until very tender. These aren't the type of seeds you need to woory about. Those seeds would e hard seeds like sesame seeds or pumpkin seeds. Sheila, SCD 60 mos, 22 yrs UC mom of Em and Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I make my own pickles - a lazy pickle recipe using water, vinegar, salt, dill seeds, garlic and small cucumbers. Are the cucumber seeds ok? I probably wouldn't make them so soon - I don't know how it would come out if the pickles were peeled. Take care, Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as the seeds aren't too large- which happens in the really big zucchini - which happens sometimes in my garden . Small zucchini and their tiny seeds are fine.

But you have to go by your son's reaction. If he is okay with it good. If he isn't then avoid a while longer.
