Re: Hi, we are new here, too!!

We are Carb junkies,

> and love crunchy stuff. Carrots will be my new best friend.

Not everyone can tolerate raw veggies immediately. Other options are

cheese crackers (plain cheese baked or fried, various recipes in

recommended books using nut flour if you can handle it), other SCD legal

crackers - homemade or bought, dehyrated veggie chips, and more. I just

got a deyhdrator and may start using it today. I noticed that 2 racks

were cracked. If I can find the receipt, I'm back to the store, otherwise

I may call for replacements.

I have always been able to eat raw carrots without any known issues- always well

digested BM, no gas, bloating, can't say neurologically, as I remain in " hype "

mode 98% of my day. Then I drink coffee on top!!! Everyone says I have so much

energy-but I am exhausted much of the time-until recently when I started to

attend a Pilates class 2-3 days a week. My daughter (ASD) can't eat oranges,

they pass right through her. I am trying to remember what she's eaten in the

last 13 hours, as her BM was very soft tonight. canned pears may have been the

culprit. I know now to get rid of the canned stuff. I can't wait to bake the

Jarlsberg cheese!! I think I will be taking my daughter off dairy this week,

though and moving whole family to another milk (rice dream??) until we are fully

SCD in May (after finals!!!!)

Cara,

Please do not replace the cow's milk with rice milk. That will

actually be worse for her digestion I think. Rice is a complex carb

and rice milk is heavily sweetened.

Try moving her to water over the next few weeks. She will not be able

to drink rice milk on SCD so there is very little point in

transitioning her twice.

thanks Jody! I have been getting them all on water to replace milk and those

horrid juice pouches that are so cheap and easy (always the 100% juice ones, but

we have all learned what that really means) and I will start the apple cider,

too.

Cara while you are considering getting started, keep a journal of foods eaten

for a few

days.

Rice is not legal on SCD and can interfere with digestion. See the nut milk

recipes on

Pecanbread. Canned fruits are also prohibited unless packed in their own juice.
