Intolerant to most new foods?! Thanks Sheila for your input!

September 5, 2007

SO I am wondering just how long I can keep giving my daughter lamb,

squash, green beans, 1/8 tsp scd goat yogurt and electrolyte drink.

Everytime I try to add anything new she reacts and I just don't know

how far along I should go in the suggested stages as far adding new

foods. If she can have none of the fruits and doesn't tolerate

veggies in stage 3, should I try veggies from stage 3? I just worry

about her getting enough variety, as well as her becoming allergic

due to overfeeding the same foods ( I believe this is how she came

to tolerate so few foods).

I also wondered how quickly to increase the goat yogurt. She has

been on the 1/8 tsp for around a week. SHe seems to tolerate it

quite well-though I am still seeing the deer pooplet balls. She has

daily bm's, but they are just little balls all formed into a larger

poo. I wonder what could be causing this, perhaps too much meat.

Her mood is 100 percent better and she is pretty much sleeping 12

hours nightly...so I don't think its due to a food intolerance...

Thanks for your input sheila, she stopped reacting as soon as I

stopped the toothpaste...thanks goodness I don't have to re intro!

THanks all,

Hi, Susie,

You do need to increase the amount of vegetables, either with increased

amounts of the ones she can eat, or with some new ones. Beets are on

stage 3 and have helped lots of people with constipation. Try some

cooked beets cautiously. You can cautiously try other stage 3 veggies

as well. The stages are just a guideline. There are different types

of squashes you can try, if you haven't already. Many people

experience an ability to tolerate more foods after they have been on

SCD longer. You might re-try some of the other stage 1 and 2

vegetables after a while. You might try them pureed, if you didn't

already and that might help her tolerate them. Yes, do increase the

yogurt now, slowly, but be sure to do one thing at a time. I think I

would try the beets, first to help the poops.
