new to diet - cheese? fruit? ???

[Guest guest]

I've looked at the pecanbread site, and the handy stage 1-5 chart. A

few questions:

1-There's no mention of dairy. Is all allowable dairy okay from the

beginning? And what about the initial 2-5 day diet - is dairy ok

then too? We currently eat dairy and are fine with it.

2-On the fruits and veggies, I can see why some would be later than

others such as little tiny seeds in strawberries not really being

able to deseed them, and the cabbage and onion family being later,

but are most fruits/veggies listed in that order because in general

people tolerate them in that order? For example, I know I'm ok with

eggplant (stage 3) and mushroom (2). Why wouldn't I start them at

the same time? Or would I?

3-I know that the diet is highly individual, but is there a general

idea someone could give me on how long a stage might last?

4-What symptoms have you noticed going away as you've gotten better,

that you might be able to use as a guideline besides the diahrea? I

ask because I don't have any, but my gut is plenty messed up from

celiac. Any other easy-to-read markers that might be useful for me

to note?

Thanks,

Hi Merika,

The delay for introducing dairy was made especially for children with

autism. This was a special situation because many autistic children

had been dairy free prior to SCD. Elaine approved of the immediate

use of dairy for most other situations.

You sent me an email, and I responded, but it bounced back to me

several times. I've been meaning to get dh to sit at the computer and

figure out what's wrong. Send me anything, all help is appreciated
