New to group, need help

April 7, 2007

Hello all. We are new to this list but have been implementing the SCDiet now for

7 years. There is a long drawn out reason why my son is sick again, wont bore

you with the details, but I need a little added help right now. Any help is

welcome.

Background: Cole is 7, has had Crohn's since 3 months old, followed the diet for

his entire life, and we are now battling a big flare. Meds: 20mg Prednisone,

Probiotics (SCD legal), and Remicade. We are on the intro diet.

He has been sick this time now for about 2 months. It all started with the flue.

Lots of vomiting, D, blood, and a high temperature, and lost about 10 lbs. He is

now doing much better than before, gained all the weight back, but I am still

having some challanges. I am doing my best to fine tune the diet with the

reactions I am getting from his body, and still have many questions.

OK..... The kid wont eat the chicken soup. So I made the soup. We use the

chicken for pancakes, he LOVES them. Pured the carrots, doesn't care for

them but will eat them since I mix them with butternut squash and butter. And

use the

broth to cook all the other foods in. His BM's started to get a little more

formed, and only 3x a day. But now they are liquid, a couple of accidents in

his pants sometimes, but now only 2 BM's a day. So now that his BM's have

decreased, even though they are diarrhea, is it ok to move on and introduce

new foods?

Is it ok to use the onions, carrots, and celery to cook the chicken soup and

then remove them, so they aren't ingested? Or should I just leave them out to be

safe?

And is it ok, at this point, for him to have shell fish?

Thanks

and Cole
