New to diet with digestion questions

[Guest guest]

If it looks like the meat from the intro diet is being digested with no

problem but the veggies are not what does that mean? Does it mean I

need to cook even longer than I am now? Puree? Or does it mean I need

enzymes? I cooked and then recooked carrots for my son. Then I mashed

the carrots and while I was feeding them to him I realized what I had

mashed looked very similar to part of what is coming out in the

diaper. This only applies to the veggies because he went 3 days

straight eating only meat and eggs and he had dark formed poops. When

I added a nice amount of veggies I'm seeing tiny veggie pieces or what

looks like areas of pureed veggies in his stool. Any ideas?? The

veggies would be green bean, zucchini and carrots. I've seen tiny

carrot pieces and greenish pureed items in his stool.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

We puree my son's food. He does fine on fresh carrot juice, but can not

tolerate cooked carrots, even pureed.

Hi Pam,

<<If it looks like the meat from the intro diet is being digested

That some healing has occured, but more is necessary.

<<Does it mean I need to cook even longer than I am now? Puree? Or

does it mean I need enzymes?>>

Carrots, for example, are cooked for *4* hours on the intro and then

pureed with either water or broth from the soup (blender or food

processor). Many people think they are having trouble with carrots

but they are usually not cooking them sufficiently.

Most young children don't chew their food a lot, so much of it may

pass through unchewed. Elaine wrote that if the stool is formed (and

behaviours are stable) some digested vegetable matter is not a big

problem. Some foods will probably appear in stool unless very well

cooked and pureed (not mashed) like carrots and green beans. Cooked

zucchini will likely be digested since it has a high water content.

Hi Pam & all..

I've just read your posting on the 09th July, how is your son doing?

My daughter is actually having the same problem and it is still

happening until now. Meat looks digested but not vegies, her stool

is firm most of times but can be divided into 2 different lumps with

totally different colours and sometimes got mucus (not often). The

other day her BM was interesting to look at as half mushy with

yellowish colour and the other half was firm in brown colour with

undigested vegies. Is it normal for 3 yo?

Have you got the answer for your posting about your son's BM? Hope

you can share it with me.

Thanks

Leena
