Re: How to stimulate appetite in a very elderly, frail wom...

, My 89 year old father lives with me and I have faced similar problems

with him. I also adhere to scd due to chrons/colitis. every morning he has a

smoothie w/ well aged kefir and a really ripe organic banana, and 2 raw egg

yolks. I make him cookies using ground organic coconut ( I freeze the dried

coconut before grinding and it makes for a much finer grind), eggs, well cooked

yellow squash, ( I like to use tahitian when I can get it because it is so sweet

I

dont even need honey), organic glycerine vanilla, orange rind, cinnamon,

ginger, sea salt, and baking soda. If necessary to get the correct consistency,

I

also add a dollop of organic almond butter. Like I said, if the squash is

sweet enough, I dont even add honey, one time the cookies were not sweet enough,

boy did I hear about that :-), so I added a dollop of buckwheat honey on top of

each cookie when I served him. I make sure to put in a lot of eggs so he

gets a good amount of protein. He likes the cookies sort of soft from the oven,

I

like mine crispy, so I finish mine in the dehydrater. I also make him tomato

soup, using homemade chicken or beef bone broth, organic tomato, a little bit

of dripped yogurt or kefir made from cream and sea salt. I heat everything

including some of the chicken or beef from thebroth, and grind w/ the bamix and

serve it in a mug and he loves it because the tomato is sweet. I add the kefir

or yogurt cream at the end, after it is heated. my dad has no idea that there

is even meat in the soup.......oh I often add some fresh basil if I have it

handy.

good luck to your mom, I know how tough it is to be ill and to be caring for

someone else, especially following scd and not having the option of going out

to eat, w/o the fear of some reaction.
