Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi , Yes, he will gradually return to his old self. Right now he needs fluids, some food and rest. Please don't try and force him to eat, for now let him do that on his own. In 3 or 4 days, once the new antibiotic kicks in, you will see an improvement. Our son has had only one ear infection and that is what happened to him. After a bout 4 days, he starte eating again and slowly ate more util all the medicine was finished. It took about a month for him to regain all the weight he lost. It worried us but the doctor said that was fine. Keep an eye on him and if it looks like the new anitbiotic isn't working, contact your doctor. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Thanks for your comments Ken. I have been really stressed about it and wondering if he is just going to stop eating period. I know that has happened to other families here. I just need to calm down a bit and say a prayer and he'll hopefully come around. I'm sure I've been down this road before, but every time I'm on it I freak out a bit! Thanks again for being a voice of reassurance. and 's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 , I'm really sorry you and are going through this. Yuk. Hang in there. Give me a call if I can help you out in any way. It's horrible when our kids get sick and won't eat. It's hard enough when they are healthy. Willie had ear infections like crazy when he was 's age but they've stopped and he had a hearing screen last week that showed fine hearing. Just hang in there! Love to .

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Hello group. Today i embarked on my first day of making scd foods. I first attempted to make my own mayo as outlined in Elaines book and it was a disappointment. Did not thicken at all. Did it in blender, do not have a food processor yet.Also attempted to make zucchini muffins. Very wet inside and they sunk in the middle.Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Feeling discouraged. thanx, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 To make mayo, you'll need to remove the little hole cover inside the lid to your blender. Pour the oil through the hole. Pour the oil VERY, VERY slowly. It should take a couple of minutes to pour all of the oil into the blender. If you do it faster, it will not whip and emulsify. As for the muffins, I don't think you baked them long enough. Next time lower the temp by 25 degrees and cook for longer. You'll know they're done when you can stick a toothpick in the center and pull it out and find it clean (with no gooey stuff on it).

Feeling discouraged. thanx, The oil has to be drizzled into the egg and lemon or vinegar not poured or dumped. Next time use a little more nut flour in the muffins amd bake a little longer turning the oven down a litle. Carol F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling discouraged. thanx, About the mayo: did you drip the oil in slowly? You can get a fairly cheap food processor from Walmart, KMart, etc. About $30, maybe less. I work mine really hard and it's lasted a few years. About the muffins: you may have to reduce the temperature at some point in the baking - maybe when they're supposed to be done, but aren't - and bake longer. That seems to be the solution for a lot of recipes. HTH. Take care, Fay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
