Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 We just purchased the book and will soon be beginning the diet for our 21 mo. old. I have a question about past food intros. What are your thoughts on have severe intolerances to " orange " foods, i.e., carrots, sweet potatoes, squash, etc. I found it odd that all " orange " foods caused such severe issues. Your thoughts?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Here is a statement from an article on food allergy/intolerance: " The other potential sources of antigens in food, apart from the proteins, are small molecules such as phenols, amines and carotenoids. " All your orange foods have carotenoids, so maybe you are sensitive to them?? > > We just purchased the book and will soon be beginning the diet for > our 21 mo. old.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Don't the foods you mentioned have a high sugar content? I think they are high carbs. I can only eat carrots out of the winter squash, pumpkin and sweet potatoes (illegal on SCD) because of the type of fiber (stringy)--it just kills me. Maybe someone else who has more experience will answer you.

Sometimes once SCD is begun and the gut begins to heal previously untolerated foods are tolerated.
