This is the official intro diet for children:

http://www.pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#intro

It is usually followed from 2-5 days and no longer. After, more easily digested

foods are

introduced gradually, one at a time, in small amounts, allowing several days or

longer

before adding another.

Below the intro diet is a table of foods in order of their digestability but it

is a guideline

and not a hard and fast rule to be followed rigidly.

SCD is preferred over GFCF as it does not include harmful starches and sugars

and the use

of apporoved dairy is mandatory.

Thanks Carol. That's the same intro diet I saw, but then I read the diet on the

BVC site. I

understand omitting dairy, but the rest? No juice?

" Breakfast:

Dry curd cottage cheese (moisten with homemade yogurt)

Eggs (boiled, poached, or scrambled)*

Pressed apple cider or grape juice mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with water. See, SCD™ Legal

/ Illegal

List for more information about allowable juices.

Homemade gelatin made with juice, unflavored gelatin, and sweetener (honey or

saccharine)

Lunch:

Homemade chicken soup

Broiled beef patty or broiled fish

Cheesecake

Homemade gelatin made with juice, unflavored gelatin, and sweetener (honey or

saccharine)

Dinner:

Variations of the above "

How should one handle snacks then? Jello?

One last question ... so you follow this intro diet for up to five days. When

exactly do you end

the intro? When the yeast isn't an issue or when diarrhea is gone?
