Hi Christy

The sore bellies were the sign of nut intolerance for us. This was once they

were verbal, before that they became whiney. Their stools had undigested nut

flour too in it. Once I took out the nuts they were fine and they actually

started making gains again. We are at six months on the diet and dont use

the nuts at all. For their birthday cake, I used nut butter and the boys

only had a sliver of it. They seemed ok with that but there was a party

going on so they were active and distracted. I am not an expert but I would

say most would tell you that if you have only been on scd for 7 weeks, it is

still too early for nuts, unless of course you havent seen any negatives and

are making some gains. (We got a lot of guidance from the pecanbread website

and from this board on the nut issue.) This is just what it was like for our

guys, but all kids are different.

PS I however at the nuts and packed on 15 pounds. Needless to say, I am off

the nuts now too.

Hi Cindy,

You know how we live in the ready made world?? I know we can't use Pumpkin out

of the can..so are we supposed to carve an actual pumpkin?? Don't laugh, I'm

sure I know the answer.

won't " stuff " the bird...we have never been huge on stuffing except for my

brother (he's the only one coming), I can make his stove top stuff.

I guess we will be looking at Cauliflower and Real potatoes Casein free all

though she does well when I cook with butter...it's just so much cheaper and

doesn't have too much of an effect on her.

Cranberry sauce I think I can handle

That all I have so far so any quick easy recipes I would love some help!!!!

Christy,

If your husband is in charge of the bird, make

sure he doesn't stuff it the traditional way, with lots of illegals!

Pumpkin pie is not hard -- with or without a nut flour crust.

What kind of sides is your family accustomed to

having? If something similar isn't in my Turkey Day recipes, which are here

http://www.pecanbread.com/recipes/thanksgiving.html

on the Pecan Bread website, tell me and I may be

able to come up with something that will work.

(Be sure to tell me any restrictions you may have.)

I've posted this before at holiday time, but it may bear repeating.

My first Christmas, after a whopping two months

on SCD, I was faced with the fact that I always

cook the family Christmas dinner. My mother had a

conniption over the thought of me serving this

weird stuff I was eating at a FAMILY gathering.

So Christmas of 2001 I did a full fledged

parallel SCD / " normal " dinner -- Some of the

foods were a bit too advanced for me, and I did

pay for having them. I scaled back to my basic

foods immediately after Christmas, and began a

more sensible system (hah!) of adding things.

(This is one reason I recognize the too much too soon problem!)

I should note that despite my mother's fears,

my weird food was eaten first -- and most of the

" ordinary " food was left. (I sent it home with

Mom since she'd insisted on it...)

The thing which kept me with SCD, though, was

something which my husband said to me Christmas

night. ADD/ ADHD runs in my family. As my gut

issues got worse, so did my ADD/ADHD. Doing

Christmas dinner has always been a trial for me

and I know entirely too well what's meant when

Moms here on Pecan Bread talk about kids going

into melt down because I have been there myself.

During this first, chaotic SCD Christmas, hard on

the heels of the hospitalization for the gall

bladder and its issues, there were a number of

things which went wrong. (Imagine trying to make

up your recipes as you go along for a feast being

served to the whole family, plus other couples

invited at the last minute...). In other years,

I'd have gone to pieces, had weeping hysterics,

and the whole nine yards. On SCD, I swore, said,

" Dammit, that didn't work, here, I'll do this

instead... " and kept going. I never noticed. My

husband, however, did. And pointed it out to me.

And then added, " I like SCD. It's nice to have the woman I married back. "

Obviously, there was quite a bit of gut healing

taking place there, even though I had only

noticed modest changes in rumbly gas and my

perpetual soft, mushy stool and urgency.

If I boot the nuts, what can he EAT? Yikes. All he eats right now are the nut

butter muffins, raw apples, sometimes applesauce, amd chicken pancakes with

honey drizzled on it. And drumsticks from El Pollo Loco for dinner, one or two.

This cannot be healthy even though I understand that the carbs and so on are

toxic for him at this time too....I just do not know how to get him to eat.

Tried the fruit juice jello - nope, puddings - nope....nightmare.

Nuts and raw apples are too advanced! Raw apples

aren't until stage 4 so those are the worst offender.

My son and I are on the intro. We are eating chicken

soup made in the crockpot, he's eating the egg " bread "

that's all eggs and a little bit of mashed veggies,

well cooked carrots, and the fruit juice jello. We

just tested really ripe bananas and as long as he eats

two or less per day he is OK with those.

We are introducing one new food every four days. You

have to give the gut a real break if you want it to

heal. I know how it sounds but eating nothing is

better than eating raw apples right now.

Try pear sauce...well cooked butternut squash

pureed...you can bake the apples in the oven until

they are very soft and fall apart. What he is eating

IS healthy though. You should not worry about that

right now.
