Re: Squash and excessive gas

[Guest guest]

My daughter is eating a lot of sphagetti squash. The gas she has is

ridiculous. She doesn't have any pain or discomfort that i know of.

Her bm's seem fine.

Should I be worried about all the gas...I don't want to slow down

healing..she really loves sphagetti and meatballs...we rely on this to

fill her up.(no yogurt, no nuts, no eggs)

thanks,

I suspect that the spagetti squash is just too fibrous for her right now. My

daughter can't tolerate it.... SCD since May. Can you substitute zucchini

noodles maybe? Find the small, slender zukes.... peel all the green off, and

then just keep peeling to get long strips, until you get to the center. If the

inner core is really seedy, just toss it. You *can* slice those into narrower

slices if she really needs it to look like spagetti... or cut it into any

length or width you want.

I just think the gas is a symptom of not being *quite* able to break down and

properly digest something.... and the thing to remember is that anything that

is not being digested could potentially feed bad gut pathogens. If she's having

great quantities of any one thing, that's always going to be the red flag I look

at first.

Thanks Patti,

I was thinking about using zucchini also.....

I had a gut feeling that the sp. squash wasn't a good thing for her to

eat..I just needed someone to tell me that I was right..

Maybe zucchini lasagna....

thanks,
