question during intro diet

[Guest guest]

My son and I started the intro diet three days ago. He has not had

diarrea at all. Is getting diarrea a given? Can we move on to the

first stage or should I go longer if he seems to be fine? I haven't

noticed any die off symptoms from him. I've had cramping, myself, and

a little diarrea, but he is a happy camper.

I am only doing SCD as a support for him (yeast overgrowth) and yet

here I am the one with the die off symptoms! I'm just not sure when we

can move on to the next stage. I know we shouldn't be on the intro for

more than five days. But I'm so anxious for a little more variety.

Also, is it okay to have a little cheddar cheese on a hamburger patty

during the intro?

Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks!

No, it is not a given. I had diarrhea and it immediately cleared up.

Yes, start adding more legal foods : )

Yes, go ahead with the addition of legal foods.

It isn't on the intro, *but* you don't need to be on the intro any

longer(3 days is plenty for the symptoms you listed) so go ahead and

try some legal cheddar. Enjoy!
