Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hi, Vai, I have not been in your situation, so I'm not certain what issues are involved. I think that if meat repulses you, you should try getting used to it before plunging into SCD because otherwise, you might not be able to get yourself to eat enough food. Why don't you make some SCD chicken soup? Try to find a source of humanely raised chicken; that might help you with some of your issues. When the soup is done and you've removed bones, etc., try pureeing the whole thing, meat and all. The smooth texture might help make it palatable to you. I have no idea if I've suggested anything of value. I hope you get other input. Welcome to the group. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Vai, It will be hard for you, I am sure. Eggs should be easy. The other stuff will be harder because SCD has such a focus on natural food, and the cheapest natural food still has bones in it. I would say, if money is not an object right now, you could start with bags of boneless skinless chicken breasts. Check the labels for a kind without broth added. You may find them less objectionable to work with. I cook mine in large pyrex pans with chunks of onion and peeled garlic cloves. You can put them in the pan still frozen. A lot of water will cook out of them so they should stay relatively juicy. You can also make your own mayo. On the pecanbread.com web site you should be able to find the " cooked " mayo recipe. You can shred the chicken and add mayo if you are OK with a chicken salad. You can also hard boil eggs and make hard boiled egg salad if you like. I know a lot of people have trouble with red meat so you could do without those if you want. Canned wild salmon is good too. Don't buy anything else because it is full of chemicals and mercury. I'd say try out a few of these foods before going to SCD, unless you are so desperately ill that you have to start immediately. Really, in the beginning you can get by with just eggs. If you are not on the autism spectrum, dairy is OK if you tolerate it. B.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thank you to all who responded to my question! You gave me some good ideas to work my way around chicken soup.. Will keep working on introducing some fish. Eggs can keep me good on protein for sometime. Thank you.

If you eat eggs and dairy the eggs and DCCC on the intro diet should help. You can make the cheesecake recipe with eggs, DCCC and honey that is in BTVC (in the cake section).
