portable snacks & other issues

[Guest guest]

I don't know if this is good for the intro diet, but those dried fruit

snacks put out by Crispy Greens are wonderful. My son thinks he is eating sweet

chips and they come in little packets like potato chips come in. Great for lunch

boxes. They contain only fruit-nothing else.

Hi. Does anyone know of anything in the early part of the intro diet

that would make a good snack for the road? We have been doing this

diet for nearly 3 months, with the past 3 weeks being a re-do of the

early part of the diet. My almost-4-year-old son is eating carrots,

chicken, beef, eggs, homemade mayo...That's about it. I'd like to be

able to take day trips but am at my wit's end with the snack/picnic

situation. Also, my son has had diarrhea for the whole time we've been

on this re-do of the into diet. Is that normal?

Dried fruits snacks would not be a good idea in you situation. They

are very advanced.

How about: sneaky veggie pancakes, chicken nuggets, hard-boiled eggs,

chicken salad, egg salad, squash buttons (you could use carrots for the

squash)?

Hi , welcome to the group,

You shouldn't stay on the intro diet for more than 5 days. Do you mean

some of the early foods? If yes, I used to make applesauce for my kids

to bring to school along with ripe bananas. I had to pack the bananas

in containers for my son because he throws his lunchbag around and the

banana turns black. If tolerate you can also make carrot chips.

Pumpkin pie filling made as a pudding, Lime pudding, green pudding (if

nuts aren't tolerated add a little honey) for recipes see:

No, diarrhea for 3 mos isn't good.

Is the chicken legal? Seasoned chicken can have illegals added (sugar

solutions, broths etc..) Ditto with the beef?

What goes in your mayo? Are you using mustard powder (some have flour

as a free flow agent - -check canister/container).

How are the carrots cooked? Many need the carrots to be cooked a very

long time until diarrhea slows and stops. In the soup recipe the

carrosta re cooked for 4 hours and then pureed. Doing this for a while

gives the body a break and allows it to heal.
