I peel, core and slice them and put them in the crock pot, for a long time, and they get all mushy.Or just cook them on the stove like a stew.PJ> >> > Hello to all groups trying to heal our loved ones or ourselves, forgive me if this topic is not directly related to the group but I am in need of guidance & opinions from those who have been in my shoes....> > > > My 3 almost 4 year old who has autism & severe gut issues has been 100% SCD for 5 days and GFCFsoy/corn free for over a year.

Thanku Holly :-)

It's really something you'll just have to try. There are some kids at pecanbread who do great with them (they are a good source of carbs), while others don't do so well. Just make sure they aren't eaten to the exclusion of other foods, since your aim is a well-balanced diet.
