Nut flour yet? Other snacky ideas?

[Guest guest]

My three boys are eating us out of house and home. We are in Stage 2

and are doing well, but that stage does not advocate nut flour use yet,

so I haven't baked anything. If my kids and I are not experiencing D

(we are pretty much the opposite), is it necessary to peel and deseed

everything? Or can we move on to the raw food? Or can I at least use

nut flour to make muffins or something? We're going through a lot of

eggs, carrots, green beans, hamburgers. I make meals, but they're

hungry in between meals and I don't always have snacky stuff around. I

have made a lot of jello lately and they like that but I'm just

wondering about other alternatives.

Thanks,

Cathe -- there are nut butter muffins on the pecanbread.com site that

are awesome. I make them as muffins, mini muffins, sheet cake, mini

bundt cakes and they always turn out well. My son loves them and I

have started to add add'l veg etc. to them as I experiment. I made a

batch with banana and yellow squash yesterday that were great.

Hi Cathe,

The stages are only a guideline and if you are doing well with

reduction in bowel symptoms (if you had them) you can move ahead to

more complex foods.

The different types of foods (Fruits/Vegetables/Nuts etc) are

separate and the stages in each are listed as examples that go from

easiest to digest to hardest to digest.

For example the section on Nuts: The nut butters are easier to

digest than nut flours; and nut flours are easier to digest than nut

pieces. Nut pieces are easier to digest than whole nuts.

You may be able to tolerate/digest nut flours before you are able to

digest many of the fruits or veggies in stage 3. The chart

illustrates the progression from easiest to digest foods to hardest

to digest in each section - but they don't necessarily match up with

each other (stage three nuts and stage three fruits).

I am able to use nut flours and some nut pieces but don't tolerate

rhubarb and occasionally have trouble with cooked pumpkin.

If you are doing well try a little raw and see how well it is

tolerated. Keeping a food journal will allow you to keep track of

foods and your reactions. It can be very handy if you run into any

setbacks.

Since you are all doing well some nut flour baked goods may be fine.

When you start with nut baked goodies (muffin/bread/cookies etc..)

start with 1/4 -1/2 muffin (bread or cookie equivalent) the first

day and if well tolerated increase the amounts of the next few

days. Try to avoid eating too many of the delicious SCD goodies

all at once -that has caused a few setbacks for some eager

SCDers. : )
