Re: How long is too long?

Hi Becky,

<< How long is it OK to eat chicken nuggets, apple/pear/zucchni

sauce and > cheese. >>

You don't want to use only this variety indefinitely but for about

two weeks (middle/end of November you started?) into the diet it's

not too bad. You are still in a transition phase when the harmful

microbes are dying off. He may be feeling uncomfortable from die

off (lethargic etc..) and/or still be craving starches and illegal

sugars. Epsom salt baths and /or some legal activated charcoal may

help with this. To broaden variety you may be able to slowly

introduce a tiny amount of other cooked pureed vegetables into the

apple/pear/zucchini sauce. Or you could try making up a whole

different sauce. Carrots and squash are pretty sweet tasting and

would go very nicely with apples make a sauce. If his stools are

pretty good you might want to try a little cinnamon in it for

flavour.

<< G eats this every lunch and dinner ( the cheese may be for >

snack) and he eats a banana for breakfast (maybe with cheese or

apple > sauce). He's refused squash buttons, pancakes, yogurt and

even our> popcicles. >>

What about making a banana smoothie instead of a banana? You could

try banana and a just a little yogurt if he finds it too tart. Then

add water to make it thin enough to drink. Also for the yogurt some

find it very tart and find that dripping the yogurt to remove the

water and some lactic acid makes it tastier for children. There are

instructions on dripping yogurt at

and at " SCD Yogurt " at

<< He EXAMINES everything and notices any minor difference. >>

1. How about instead of trying to disquise it as something he used

to eat to call it something new.

2. Have him be involved in making something. " These are ingredients

what will we make "

3. Some have found if they eat the food the child may try it. Making

happy , this is yummy noises sometimes helps.

<< Anyway since the yeast is soooo sneaky, just wondered if they

could > somehow mutate and start to live on what he is limiting

himself to. >>

Yeast and bacteria can mutate but what you may be seeing is the

hardiest nasty yeast and bacteria are still hanging on and aren't

starved out yet. Supplementing with legal probiotics and/or yogurt

will help get rid of these.

<< Also how many bananas are safe in one day? >>

1-2 ripe bananas when you have a variety of foods. If it is all he

will eat you may have to make do with whatever legal foods he'll

eat. But, if you have yeast issues it may be best to try and keep

the numbers as low as possible.
