Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hello, I am seventeen and also just starting the diet accually it will be 7 days tommorrow since I started it. The yogurt does not make me ill, it's not my favorite stuff to eat that is for sure but I haven't had a reaction to it. Of course we all react differntly so like you said just take it slow and see what happens. I am taking my lunch to school, and I can tell you that some days are alot easier than others. The best tip I can give is make sure there plenty of food avaliable. Some days I am really hungry by the time lunch rolls around and other days I am perfectly fine with just a little bit of food. The problem becomes if you are really hungry you can't just go buy something else to eat like all the other kids. That would be my biggest tip. My school has a microwave availible so that makes things lots easier too. If you have anynore questions or your daughter needs someone to ask just pass them my way I would be glad to help!

If you want to try the yogurt starting with a tiny amount is a good idea. The problem that some people have is that they start with too much of the yogurt and it overwhelms their system. 1/8 tsp or 1/4 tsp may seem like a tiny amount, but even those amounts have lots of good bacteria and for some it can cause die off (hence the recommendation of small amounts). If she does okay with those amounts you can gradually increase it. The maximum Elaine suggested was about 2 C/day for children and 3 C/ day for adults. I am nervous now after reading some posts.

How do you handle lunch for your kids when they > are in school? I make souffle bread sandwich for my kids since their school is nut free. I send juice boxes filled with legal juices or yogurt smoothies. Ripe bananas, cheese, homemade applesauce, apples.
