Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 , I remember a while back an adult with UC posted that he went on a fast of sorts for about a week and it allowed his intestines to rest and heal. He then added in some very basic intro foods before moving on to stage one beyond the intro. He said it was very helpful. Maybe you can put Cole on a fast of sorts to allow some rest for his digestive tract. Make chicken broth by cooking a whole, organic chicken in water for about two hours on low. After it is cooked, remove meat from bone and freeze chicken. Then make jello with a mixture of juice and broth and Knox gelatine (no honey) and make popsicles with just juice and broth. And then just have him drink water, very diluted juice, eat the jello and the popsicles for maybe three days. And see if that gives his digestive tract time to heal. Of course post to the group and ask if that is a good idea. I just remember someone else doing it with success. mel frank wrote: Thank you for the suggestion. We went 2 days without any veggies and it seemed to help. I know that it isn't good for the body to do straight protein, but he was having such problems. Now that he is down to 2 bm a day I am going to start adding new veggies. If the D hasn't become formed is it still ok to add new veggies if his symptoms haven't worsened with the new veggies? And if butternut squash makes him worse then what do I do? Do some people seem to have problems with ground beef? Sorry to ask so many questions but I have never had a hard time like this with the intro diet. He has always responded well, and quickly, but this time we are having lots of trouble. Thanks for all the help!!! and Cole.
