book question

[Guest guest]

I have ordered the book from my local and Noble. I have the intro

diet and the recipes.

I am wondering does the book go into detail about what you do after the

intro diet and how long you know you need it, and what to introduce and

when?

I have an ASD child and we have chronic constipation without supplements to

help him go, so I am hoping to be able to judge when to go from the intro to

regular diet if that is the correct term for it.

Thanks for all the help from everyone.

Hi Becca,

The intro diet is usually recommended for 2-5 days. If your child

has constipation it is more 2-3 days . If your child has diarrhea 3-

5 days is better.

For some people the diet is enough to help clear up constipation.

If the constipation does not clear up with diet alone then you

should check out the constipation protocol.

The gist of it is that contrary to poular belief raw fruits &

vegetables will only compound the constipation problem. The bowel

needs to heal before the fiber in raw f & v will help keep things

moving. So at the beginning of the diet foods that are not

tolerated will just make the constipation worse. So at the

beginning of the diet after the intro diet you will want to continue

to peel and cook all fruits and veggies. Probably avoid foods with

seeds that aren't easily removed such as strawberries, blueberries

etc. Many have found that until things are moving relatively

smoothly the seeds in these foods will just excacerbate the

problem. After some healing they'll be tolerated better. ( For

those who *really* want jams you can pick up a food mill (eg. Foley

food mill) that will help remove skins and seeds from jams, sauces

etc.)

Eating lots of cooked vegetables should help with constipation.

After the intro some good foods to add are cooked green beans,

cooked asparagus, squash. After these if your child doesn't have any

diarrhea or gas you could try a little of the cabbage family

vegetables (still cooked). These include cauliflower, broccoli,

brussel sprouts and cabbage.

Fruits for after the intro include ripe bananas (yellow with black

spots on the skins, green bananas still have the starches

unconverted to the natural sugars that are more digestible.),

applesauce, pearsauce.

Once you get through these foods if you aren't sure how to proceed

just ask
