Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm on day 5 and still having diarrhea. Can I add well cooked, peeled, and deseeded zucchini tomorrow anyway? Since I'm losing weight and nursing our daughter, I feel like I need something besides protein. Thanks, Beth F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you also eating the well cooked and pureed carrots. If still having diarrhea the carrots should be pureed. What else are you eating?

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'm not eating carrots because allergy testing showed that I had sensitivity to carrots. I kinda knew that because my body wasn't digesting them, and they made my stomach hurt. I'm not there yet but winter squashes do the same thing to me. Actually, most foods give me problems except the intro diet foods. What do other people do if they have this many sensitivities? I'm eating eggs, beef, beef broth, chicken, and chicken soup, and a tiny bit of red grape jello (our daughter gets rashes from grapes when she or I eat them).

I thought I couldn't tolerate the carrots because they gave stomach aches and caused other GI symptoms. When I prepared them according to Elaines directions and pureeeing them I tolerated them and that was a good thing because I didn't tolerate much at that point. <<I'm not there yet> but winter squashes do the same thing to me.

Some like carrots should be pureed to help breakdown the cell walls making easier for your body to use them properly. <<I'm eating eggs, beef, beef broth, chicken, and chicken soup, and > a tiny bit of red grape jello (our daughter gets rashes from grapes > when she or I eat them).>> Have you tried the apple cider diluted or making gelatin with the apple cider? I sometimes had to make my own apple cider when I couldn't tolerate the local stuff. (My gut was very sensitive).

I mashed the carrots after cooking them in water for 4 hours for our son. I suppose pureeing is more thorough. Today, I pressure cooked them for 1/2 in their own water. He wanted to mash them himself and said that they were easier to mash. I guess I'll plan to pressure cook and puree tomorrow....unless pressure cooking is a problem for SCD. > > If you have a lot of sensitivities you will have to go slow, cook and > peel all fruits and veggies and imporatntly cook them until very > soft.

I pressure-cooked peeled and deseeded zucchini next to those carrots for 1/2 hour. The zukes were mush. Do I need to puree them too? We don't have a big processor (we the food processor attachement for our hand blender). Our auditory sensitive children would be traumatized with the noise of the blender or big food processor. I mashed (the veggies) because it seemed like the fastest way to deal with those hot veggies and our hungry children. > > > Have you tried the apple cider diluted or making gelatin with the > apple cider?

We haven't tried cider yet but our old, decrepit apple trees are filled with apples this year. Perhaps, we could make some. How do you make homemade cider? Did you have to buy a cider making machine? My memory says that cider is made from raw apples. Is this correct? Thanks, Beth F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pressure cooker and love it. It makes fantastic broths. I have also cooked a salmon (dill and water) that allowed me to eat the bones and all. I eat the bones for the calcium. <<I pressure-cooked peeled and deseeded zucchini next to those > carrots for 1/2 hour. The zukes were mush.

They don't hold their structure the same way that carrots do. <<make homemade cider? Did you have to buy a cider making machine? >My memory says that cider is made from raw apples.

You can leave out the spices etc but this gives you an idea how to do it. http://pecanbread.com/new/recipes/homemademulledapplejuice.html also for cider http://www.fcs.uga.edu/pubs/PDF/FDNS-E-91.pdf Remember you have to pasteurize this kind since you are fermenting it.
