Into Diet Menu - Please Help

[Guest guest]

Please Help.

My son , 5 yr with Autism, has had yeast issues for a long time.

Started on GFCF for 2 years then about 6 months ago switched to what

we thought would be SCD. But we did not do the intro diet. Thus we

have been on the " nut diet " . We never had any major signs of gut

issues (He has not had any major diarrhea and he has always been a

sound sleeper.) but oat panel tests have always shown yeast issues.

Yet these past 6 months I have felt something was wrong because

there was so much un-digested food in his stool. (even if it was

formed)

Then we got test results back stating that his yeast levels were

worse than they were 6 months ago! Thus distraught, I have read and

researched again. We are going to start the into diet in a few

weeks and are ramping up for it now. We want to do it right this

time! So I am trying to develop an intro diet and stage 1 menu

now. I have read (fully this time) BTVC and as much of the web site

as possible. I am trying to reconcile the intro menu from BTVC and

pecanbread.com.

Intro Diet Menu:

Eggs – He may eat them scrambled but he has not tolerated the

texture in the past. – Can the eggs be cooked in olive oil?

Grape Juice (10% juice – 90% water) – he would drink this till he

exploded if we let him.

Homemade gelatin with juice – Gonna try it.

Chicken soup – Remove the Carrots from the broth?? I am not sure if

he will drink it but we may just put it in a cup with a straw.

Egg Drop Soup -

Hamburger Patty ( can he have salt and pepper ??)

Any more ideas on what kind of menu people did during the intro

diet? What about Snacks between meals. Both my boys snack between

meals.

Thank you

That sounds very similar to what happened with my son. He improved

quite a bit from being on the diet but still things weren't quite

right. After being on the diet using raisins, peanut butter etc.

we went back to the intro diet and slowly reintroduced legal foods.

That time things cleared up properly and he had consistent trophies.

If he digests oil pretty good then it may be okay for *him*. For

those with lots of damage in their guts oils and fats are difficult

to digest.

It is important that the carrots are cooked until soft for those who

are having incomplete digestion of fruits and veggies.

The best option is pureeing the cooked carrots (the recipe says

simmered for four hours) in either water or some of the broth.

Salt is fine, but if bowels are bad pepper should be avoided.

My kids weren't wild about soup so I picked out the chicken and let

them eat the carrots mashed up on a plate. I pureed some carrots in

the broth and they used that to dip the cooked chicken in. I also

used the carrot and broth puree to dip meatballs in.

I made gelatin with legal juice and gelatin and grape juice

popsicles.

Since they have been on the diet 2-3 days is probably long enough on

the intro diet.
