Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hi I have allowed my son a small box of raisins(14g)as an occasional treat although he has only been on the SCD for 6 wks(at a couple of birthday parties he went to recently as a substitute for birthday cake) I am worried as he has been invited to another party at the weekend and that he may expect raisins again-I was wondering if by cooking them for an hour or so it would make them more digestible. majidha mum to Aadam ileitis and reflux prednisolone,pentasa and omeprazole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 We love raisins as an easy on-the-go snack. We've found no problems with using SunMaid or store brand.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi, Majidha, Dried fruits like raisins give the gut a sudden, highly-concentrated dose of fruit sugar and should not be introduced until all GI symptoms are gone. I would feel more comfortable if you made him some of the lollypops or Magic Toffee from the BTVC recipe section. Boiling the raisins would probably eliminate some of the sugar, but I don't know if it would be enough. mom to -12 SCd 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they still have hard to digest skins and some varities have seeds. Does he have any change in symptoms whwn he eats raisins?
