Okay, finally read the book and have some quick questions..

1. If there is no diarrhea at the begining, can we use fresh apple

juice? We have a wonderful juicer, so would it be okay to throw some

apples in it and give it to my son?

2. Does it matter if the kid won't eat soup? Really, he has never

like soup. What if the kid won't eat any of the stuff offered? I

know there are a few things there my son will eat, but I'm not sure

about all of it. I, for one, don't like cottage cheese, but I guess

I'll force it down, b/c I'm going to do this diet too.

3. What if we eat out(which we do often)? I thought I saw something

about it somewhere..

4. What about preschool? Do you send snacks w/your kids? The

preschool provides all meals/snacks, but ds is only there for morning

snack. He goes M-F 8:30-12.

5. Should I wait until he is over his cold before I start the

introduction diet? He's had a cold for a while and I'm hoping it will

go away by itself w/out turning into bronchitis again. ugh.

Any other info. you can give me would be great. Thanks

Janice,

No one has to eat the DCCC (which is not like regular cottage cheese

at all).

You can juice your own fruits, but still water it down to 50/50

juice/water.

Going out to eat is very tricky. Most chain restaurants have

preseasoned meats and canned food. If you can find a local place that

actually cooks the food and serves REAL stuff, you might be okay.

Preschool-definitely send his snacks for him. It is unlikely that the

school will provide SCD safe snacks. Most places serve junk food for

snacks- cookies, pretzels, crackers, kool-aid, etc.
