Intro questions

[Guest guest]

While trying not to make this too long, I have a few questions. My

daughter, 2/3/4 yrs old, has eosinophilic colitis ( mild). We

almost SCD for 3 weeks now ( minus ketchup) and totally SCD leagal

for 8 days with 4 days of modified intro. had to modify becuase her

came to the diet tolerating ONLY beef veges ( which I later found

out she was not really tolerating.. many come through undigested)

potatoe and some alternative grains. That was it. She has an

anaphilic strength allergy to egg ( diagnosed at 5m. old, never had

ANY contact with eggs since.. so no actual anaphilictic reaction).

She has never been exposed to dairy in her life.. except prenatally,

She has always been treated as naturlally as I knew to do.. avioding

elemental formaulas, steriods, etc. and has done remarkably well (

people who know of the illness and hear she has it are amazed).

Anyway, we are now doing the intro as best we can.. beef, squash

and water white grape juice.. and getting great results.. lots of

die off on all fronts.. behavior, poop changes, other symtom

changes... but here's the rub: after being on the intro for 1 day,

we realized she couldn't do carrots....no more carrots for now.

then on day four.. when we both ( I am nursing.. and need this diet

myself) are so sick of squash and beef we could puke.. I tried

apples and green beens. Now, I know that was one too many be we

just had to.... and failed both, I think. bean I will try again

soon, but apple have always been an issue.. no change now. So,

day 6 and we are enbarking on ANOTHER day of squash and beef... we

both don't want to eat. Tomorrow I an going to try chicken... any

other suggestions? I just tried cheshew butter on her.. she loves

it, but I think I may be seeing a reaction.. puffy under her eyes.

Sigh. I don't know what to do. this is tto long to be just on

these foods, and yet I was seeing some great changes. She has done

ok with pears.. but won't eat them.

so, my question are: 1. On this diet, can I eat things that are

SCD leagal, but that Emma ( my daughter) can't eat.. because she

doen't digest them well, or will that, through my breast milk mess

things up? Also, what would be your suggestions for adding foods?

I am thinking maybe I should go with my gut, and add food she was

tolerating, such as broccoli and peppers, before this diet. I

have a batch of yogurt going, and am going to introduce that

slowly through me at first.. I eat it, some of the " good stuff "

get to her through my breast milk. But we really need to expand our

diet.. she and I are losing wieght. WE are doing lost of

suppliments, phol assist, nad CLO, and a bunch.. lot of DAN

proticol stuff, though she is not offcially ASD. Anyway, any

thoughts would help.. excited about all this, but getting very very

hungery, weak and desperate!

Thanks!
