You can try Fitday.com to see if you have enough legal carbs.

or the " Caloric calculator " : go to

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/links for the link.

What foods did he eat prior to starting the diet? That may help us

to come up with relevant suggestions.

Hi Shar,

Is your child consuming other legal carbs? Any other food?

If you have been on the intro for at least 3 days you can start

adding in other foods. Since you are battling constipation please

read the two important links at

http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/

Go to the " Knowledge Base " and then to

1. " Constipation " and

2. " Constipation continued "

As for how much *diluted* legal juice (half juice/half water) and

homemade jello - it depends on the age weight of your child if they

are eating other things etc. There is no straight one size fits all

answer. You should try to balance the food with other legal options

that you are ready to digest and other types of food, proteins etc.

You can use the " Caloric Intake Kids Calculator " at

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/links to determine

how many legal carbs are needed /day

Thank you Sheila. yes he is eating plenty of eggs, two fruits a day, Peanut

butter, chicken, and other proteins.

Unfortunately his IGG showed a 1 sensitivity to all proteins but I am still

giving

hime the meats and nuts. but I feel guilty doing it. The only protein he is not

sensitive to is eggs.

I checked the kids calculator and he is getting enough calories.

Thank you for your reply.
