Beverages for Intro and Stage 1 & introducing nutflour

[Guest guest]

i am confused about beverage options for the intro and stage 1. i see

that raw lemon, lime, oranges and pineapple are stage but is it ok to

make my own lemonade with fresh lemon, drop of honey and drinking

water? also, can we use pineapple juice and tropicana oj on stage 1?

i saw the cooked apple juice recipe but was wondering if i can make

fresh apple & spinach juice in a juicer with raw product in stage 1 or

do i have to wait to use the juicer?

also, can i throw some nutflour into the beef and chicken meatballs or

do i have to wait until stage 3 to introduce nutflour.

are yellow squash or zucchini buttons allowed on stage 1?

is butter allowed on stage 1? what is the best butter to use?

is there a legal organic shortening? i noticed they use organic

shortening in a lot of the recipes on scd bakery.

i know everyone progresses at a different rate but can someone give me

an idea how long we should stay on stage 1. i am not sure how long i

can hold out on using nutflour which is on stage 3.

thanks,

Hi, Eileen,

I can answer some of your questions. I don't want to answer about

the nut flour because I don't remember why you're doing stage one

after 9 months SCD, so I hesitate to comment. But I can answer about

juice. It is my understanding that Tropicana OJ, pineapple juice,

your lemonade and any juices made in the juicer from raw fruits and

veggies are ok on stage one. Butter is also if you are not avoiding

casein.

I don't remember what all is in the zucchini buttons, but I think

it's a pretty simple nut-free recipe, so you could probably try them

and see how your child reacts. The stages are just a general

guideline.

You move to the next stage by observing your child. This means that

you need to try a very small amount of something in the next stage

and observe. Then a somewhat larger amount, etc. to know if it's ok

to go on to move advanced foods. No one can really tell you how long

this will take.

Hi Eileen,

<<i am confused about beverage options for the intro and stage 1. i

see that raw lemon, lime, oranges and pineapple are stage but is it

ok to make my own lemonade with fresh lemon, drop of honey and

drinking water?>>

These juices are fine to try after the intro diet. Just do one at a

time to make sure they are tolerated. It is best to continue to

dilute them to at least half water.

<<also, can we use pineapple juice and tropicana oj on stage 1? >>

Yes, you can also add these in after the intro diet. As above try

one at a time and dilute them. The OJ is best started at either

lunch or supper/dinner. Starting with it in the mornings 'may' cause

stomach aches or loose stools. As improvements occur it may be

tolerated in the mornings. A personal note about pineapple juice: I

always had trouble with canned pineapple juice but recently starting

juicing fresh pineapples. Not only did it seem to be tolerated it

actually seemed to aid in my digestion (natural bromelain...). So,

if you have problems with the canned juice (no natural enzymes after

heat processing) consider juicing fruits yourself.

<< i saw the cooked apple juice recipe but was wondering if i can

make fresh apple & spinach juice in a juicer with raw product in

stage 1 or do i have to wait to use the juicer?>>

No, you don't have to wait to use a juicer but it is concentrated.

If you want to juice apple and spinach together first do both of them

seperately to make sure they are tolerated. Start with small amounts

of each and very important for SCD beginners to juicing is diluting

the juice. As the bowel heals you may not need to dilute the juice

as much.

<<also, can i throw some nutflour into the beef and chicken meatballs

or> do i have to wait until stage 3 to introduce nutflour.>>

It depends on how the bowels are. If diarrhea is a problem it may be

best to avoid the nut flour a while. How are the bm's?

<< are yellow squash or zucchini buttons allowed on stage 1?>>

Depends on ingredients. I'd suggest veggies continuing to be peeled

at that point.

<<is butter allowed on stage 1?>>

If a lot of diarrhea/severe constipation I'd continue to skip it.

<<what is the best butter to use?>>

From a SCD standpoint. The best would be cultured butter(organic or

not is a personal choice). After that either salted or unsalted

butter. There are a kazillion different brands. It should have no

artificial flavour, no artificial colours, or other illegals.

<< is there a legal organic shortening? i noticed they use organic

> shortening in a lot of the recipes on scd bakery.>>

Spectrum organic Palm oil is legal.

<<i know everyone progresses at a different rate but can someone give

me an idea how long we should stay on stage 1. i am not sure how long

i can hold out on using nutflour which is on stage 3.>>

There is no timeline. It depends on symptoms, state of bowel

movements and how foods are tolerated.
