Guest guest Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Sara, I personally think you could sabotage his gut healing by introducing the raw foods so soon. Berries, depending on what kind, can have lots of seeds that really need to be strained out after cooking. With blueberries, the skins AND seeds can be very difficult to deal with in the digestive tract... and remember, whatever can't be digested properly will contribute to feeding the bad gut pathogens. I just would hate to see him not have a chance for his gut to fully heal.... this diet is a lot of work for you and you might end up having to go clear back to square one and start over if you introduce things before his gut is really ready. Have you tried smoothies? Steam peach, pear or apple chunks, then freeze them..... toss in a blender with ripe banana and whir. Almost heaven. I wonder if he'd accept this? You can take that smoothie mixture and freeze it into popsicles, too. If you really cannot find any way to get him to accept it, a nice ripe peach... peeled of course, would certainly be a better choice than raw apple or berries. Peeled ripe pear might be next best. If it's the crunch of a raw apple he craves, he might even like to try frozen apple slices that have been steamed. Patti Raw fruit!!! Is it OK to ear Raw apple/pear peaches/berries about 18 days in to the diet if they don't have diarrehea. My son just refuses to eat any cooked fruit and he has restricted his diet to meat/chicken/eggs/banana and almond cookies.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I can only tell you our personal experience. My son has been scd for 3 months, and we were able to start some of the softer fruits such as raw strawberries, ripe peaches, ect. after about 7 weeks. We haven't been able to venture beyond that very much since though. Hopefully, someone with a bit more experience can give an opinion.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I honestly think you want to be very cautious about blueberries, unless you cook them and strain out the skins and seeds. I think one month is too soon for raw anything.... except ripe banana. Patti Raw Fruit!!! Hi, We have been SCD for about a month. Is it OK to start raw Strawberries or bluberries?

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 It does seem that I'm anxious also to start new things. We feel better for a while and think about how to expand our repertoire of foods. There's no exact time table and of course the body will let you now immediately if you made a mistake. I'm thinking of starting a few raw things, but not sure where to begin with fruits and salads. I've been doing this since Father's Day. I've read so many are doing the diet past the year. Have there been many who are completely over this and back to all carbs? I'd love to hear their stories too.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Robin, This may be a bit late but raw fruit can be very irritating to a sensitive gut. The fiber that is thrown down that irritated gut is equal to rubbing sand paper on an open wound...ouch!! Charlene I was just wondering what is the problem with adding raw fruit?
