Re: How do I cook for entire family at different stages?

[Guest guest]

Antoinette,

I am going to go out on a limb here.

We have been doing GFCF for almost 5 years, now SCD for two months. We

have three teenagers.

We have had such amazing results with diet--everyone is appreciative

for the positive effects. It has been life saving.

Now, we have someone who can eat everything, a vegan (!!), and then Ben

and I. I can't eat peanuts, cashews...and more stuff. He is highly

sensative to, you know, lots.

Everyone needs to get over it! I spent days being very stressed--

this managing of food, trying to make cool substitutes--it is stressful

enough just making the change to SCD without trying to accomadate

everyone's wishes. Now that we have adjusted they are pretty content

with the food. And if they aren't they can add to it with their own

labors. That includes being responsible for kitchen messes.

We eat to live, not live to eat. We are a family, a team, and we have

some sick members here. What we are doing now will impact their entire

lives. We can all sacrifice for a period of time to achieve this goal.

In other words, they need to adjust--it's hard on everyone. They are

building in character and will apply this amazing experience to future

events in life. Really, they will. And one day they will respect you

enormously for it.

And the mom is leading the way, without apologies.

Just my two cents!

Lorraine

P.S. Soon enough everyone will graduate to the next level--they just

aren't there yet. It's only 15 days--you are doing great.

" Jumping " ?

The Stages are not a required procedure or written as part of SCD. They are a

guideline for

those who are unsure what to add and when. Elaine suggested once diaharrea

clears up to

add foods of your choice in small amounts and do it gradually. We advise keeping

a log of

what was added and any effects noted. Simply keep it simple for you and the

baby. You

will catch up. feed the rest of the family as you have ben doing. i assume you

have chosen

to give them SCD legal foods since you mentioned that before.

Yogurt, peanuts, seeds,beans and raw foods don't get added at the beginning.

Dried fruits

should always be used in small amounts when they are added.

Everyone will benefit by reading BTVC several times and studying the websites

for the diet.

Well said Lorraine. You deserve a medal for common sense and a positive

attitude!

last summer eating the paleo diet. I hate feeling sick again. I just hate it.

I trust that the

SCDiet is the answer...it is paleo after all.

It is not Paleo. SCD. It may have similarities to Paleo but please don't confuse

the

diets. Antoinette, you are new to this and are forming conclusions that do not

apply. For

now, focus on learning what you require for SCD

Dairy is not allowed on Paleo and although not mandatory on SCD, plays an

important role for those who tolerate it.

Cashews are not allowed on the Paleo Diet nor are beans.

Discussions and advertising of alternative diets, illegal foods, treatments

that are not recommended, or other subjects that are not part of the science and

practices of SCD are not allowed on the list. This does include references made

in the body of an e-mail, subject lines and signature lines.

This rule is done to protect those new to SCD and to avoid confusion.
