Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 We did not start from the beginning, I did not have book (had to order it), then other things happened, anyway... My 10 year old UC is on this diet for 3 weeks now. He eats everything steamed and I am following the basic directions, and for now does not have main symptoms (blood, BM, etc.). However, he looks pale and tired, his body temp a little lows and he has dark circles under eyes. Here are some questions: is pomegranate legal, is there any other food to help with iron, is it OK for him to be involved in sports? Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 , What is he eating now? Are you now following the stages on the Pecanbread web site? Or are you just following the book? We need to know exactly what he is eating and how much and when so that we can give you more advice. B.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi , >is pomegranate legal, Elaine was concerned that pomegranate might be too fibrous and therefore difficult to digest. I do not recommend it for beginners. Maybe very advanced SCDers might tolerate the juice. ..>any other food to help with iron http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/dietary_sources_iron.html Mimi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I do not really know what stage is he on, but we only use almond flour, eggs, legal vegies and fruits (everything legal from the list). He drinks Smart water and Welsh grape juce. I only use recepies for SCD diet and honey as a sugar substitute. He is not eating nutts nor seads (I am afraid it'll scrath his intestines). I think that's it. Please let me know what else I need to mention... I am so glad that I got your attention immediately!! Thank you, , mom of 10 years old. > > > We did not start from the beginning, I did not have > > book (had to order > > it), then other things happened, anyway...

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Dear Mimi, The only reason I decided to give him pomegranate is because it should help him with iron. I do not know any other source, besides liver (which he likes).

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi, , Here is the info from the Knowledge Base at the Breakingtheviciouscycle.info site: Seth writes: " Iron shots (which I had when I was younger) are painful, but at least bypass the problem of iron on the gut. There are certain supplements you can take to help absorb iron better. For one, Vitamin C binds to iron in food and helps facilitate the transportation of iron across the intestines into the bloodstream. Lactoferrin, a protein the body uses to bind to iron, can also be useful if taken by supplement. It binds tightly to iron, keeping it from catalyzing oxidative reactions, keeping it away from pathogenic bacteria, and also helps the body absorb the iron. Lactoferrin supplements can be expensive " The best thing for iron is liver, so I'm glad your son likes it. Does he have it at least once a week? There are also capsules containing dried liver that he could take. I don't know if he can participate in sports. I think that would be something to ask your doctor. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Sorry if it is my second posting, I just did not see my first. You know, money is nothing next to our kids health. ) I just would like to know what kind of brand to look for to buy these suplements?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi, , I just did a search for dessicated liver capsules and another search for lactoferrin and found lots of companies that sell these. Unfortunately, I can't tell you where to buy them, because I don't use these myself and I don't know what brands to suggest. Why don't you try your local health food store first? Sometimes they can order things they don't have for you. If that doesn't work, do an online search and see if there is a company you trust. If anyone uses these products, I hope they will post their experiences. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 The only problem is, are they all legal? I just realized I was using illegal butter. Tried to find brand which is legal, but failed. Any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Oh, I do not know them since I did not buy it yet... I was just hopping for the brand name you can tell me.
