Re: when to introduce almond flour?

[Guest guest]

Day 8 is a little early. There is no real time frame- it's as tolerated. In

general, people tolerate nut butters first- before nut flour, and you can bake

with those. Pecan butter--- then flour is the easiest to tolerate for most.

There are some nice recipes on pecanbread.com.

Use small amounts. The tendency is to gobble down these treats. I was on SCD 6

months before tolerating nut flours and still I eat them rarely. I tolerated

nut butters almost at the get go.

Note this site is for kids with ASD and is non dairy. We " grown ups with yukky

guts " can have SCD legal 24 hr yogurt and legal cheeses.

The best approach to SCD is SLOW and steady. Better to wait than go to fast and

backtrack...

thanks for the feedback. how did you know you couldn't tolerate the flour until

6 months? how many times did you try to reintroduce after the initial

introduction? when did you first try?

i know im not ready yet, but definitely looking forward to some baked goods in

addition to my chicken and veggies.

It all depends on how quickly you heal -- which is rarely fast enough for

anyone.

Most people find they can introduce things made with nut butter before

they can nut flour because the nuts are ground finer in the nut

butter. Most SCD recipes will call for nut flour -- you can

substitute homemade nut butter (cheaper to make your own!) in the same

amount as the nut flour recommended.
