Running out of breakfast options....

June 9, 2006

I've been trying to get started on SCD and cannot figure out what to

serve my daughter for breakfast. She has had a SAGE test done for

delayed allergies and is supposed to be on a rotational diet. Eggs

really make her constipated (she does not have diarrhea, she has

severe constipation issues), so it is hard to go on the Intro

Diet...all we would be eating for at least 2 days is chicken soup

and grape jello. I've been trying to serve various items for

breakfast seeing what works and she seems to like peanut butter and

fruit, but there was a recent post saying how peanuts should not be

given for a couple fo months.

If I already KNOW what her food sensitivities are based on the SAGE

results, can I skip the Intro and Stages? What exactly is the

science behind going through the stages and what signs am I supposed

to be looking for as I introduce new foods? If it's diarrhea,

that's never a problem.

Also, I wanted to try giving her yogurt for breakfast, but I wanted

to stay away from the dairy initially. So, I tried making a nut

yogurt using cashews (my daughter shows sensitivity to almonds

also). I didn't filter the sludge thinking that it wouldn't be a

problem and I used Kirkman's Acidophilus probiotic formula. I had

so many variables in this, I'm not sure which one ruined it!! I

have ordered the GI Prohealth but it's on backorder. The yogurt was

very runny with stringy strands in the bottom (probably from

sludge...also tried adding gelatin as thickener) and smelled like

vomit (yummy!!). I decided to go ahead and try the goat's milk

(Meyenburg i think?) but am still waiting for the GI Prohealth. Is

Kirkman's okay to use...I checked the bacteria and it seemed to be

the right types and amounts (1 tsp). Perhaps I didn't introduce

gelatin properly?

Any comments are welcome!!
