A number of people have reported that as the gut heals the phenol

reactions lessen. Some are able to use phenolic foods and some can

use some occasionally whereas preSCD they had to avoid them

completely.

For a number of phenolic fruits and veggies the higher concentration

of phenolic substances are in the peels so peeling them helps. Some

even double peel the fruits and veggies taking away a layer of the

pulp of the fruit/veggie to further lessen the amounts of phenols.

Cooking the fruit/veg. makes them easier to digest but I don't know

if it alters the phenolic content or not.

Some use " No Fenol " to allow more variety in their diet. Some just

avoid those foods until later.

Did he eat anything different? New supplements/meds etc.

>How do you know when there is blood?

Depending on what is causing the blood you may see it laced in the

stool, the stools may appear black or dark red (maroon coloured)

If it is occult blood (not visible to the naked eye) that would be

found through testing.
