Re: Day 4 and ravenous, I think this is normal?

Greta,

Yes, the ravenous hunger is common. He's not eating any veggies from the looks

of your menu below...... is that right? Will he not eat any at all? You might be

able to succesfully sneak some cooked, pureed veggies into ground meat for

meatloaf or burger patties.... or even right into the muffin batter.

Day 4 and ravenous, I think this is normal?

Day 4 and things are going pretty well. His stomach was upset the

second day lots of burbing. Woke up at night saying " hurt hurt "

passed gas and went back to sleep. Much better third day and night

and today. He's been a bit crabby and a little dark under the eyes

but from what I've read this could easily be due to die off. Bram is

constantly hungry I think I read that this is typical. Is it? I

just give him cheese and water. I don't want to give him anymore

muffin or waffle given what I've read about nuts being hard to digest.

The following is his diet so far. (He didn't start w/the intro diet,

plan to do that later this week or next. Dad's been out of the

country 3 wks and w/2 kids I'm just doing what I can. Dad is due

back this Friday so plan to catch up next week.)

Breakfast: 2 hot dogs, almond waffle w/honey, apple cider cut w/water

Snack: cheddar cheese and water

Lunch: hamburger patty, almond muffin, apple cider cut/water, 1T

apple sauce

Snack: cheddar cheese and water

Dinner: Same as lunch though may be w/ 2 hotdogs instead of hamburger

Snack: cheddar cheese water or cider w/water

Also added in 1-2 teaspoons of goat yougurt w/honey today.

He's also on the Houston enzyme.

Greta,

His diet looks to me to be way too high in protein. Can you give

us an idea of how much cheese you are giving him and how

much juice he is getting in a day? Also, how many ounces of

meat in the hamburgers?

I use Fitday.com to determine the protein, carb, fat intakes.

But just based on looking at it I would guess that you are looking

at maybe 50-60%protein, 30-40%fat and only 10%carbs.

But once you give me the amounts of cheese and juice, I'll be

able to calculate it accurately.

He has never eaten a veggie since baby food. I'll try sneaking them

into his burger. It looks like carrots are the best to start with.

Is this correct? Thanks

He's getting between 1-2 oz of cheddar/day, about 8 oz of cider/day

(cut with 8 oz of water), and the hamburger patties are 2-3oz each.

My cheap scale isn't very accurate but I don't think it's too far off.

Until last week he would not touch a fruit or veggie. He now has

apple sauce (2-4 T/day and working to increase he gags on it

sometimes.) I'll try to add pureed carrots to his hamburger as

Patti/Carol suggested and I plan to make pear sauce tonight and give

it a whirl. I'll try to look at fitday.com tonight. Thanks.

Greta,

Based on your menu, this is what I got using Fitday.com...

Calories 1478

Fat 99g

Carbs 73g

Protein 83g

1500 calories may not be quite enough for him depending on his

size. But it's not too far off. My guesstimate would be about 1600

calories.

The carb intake is too low I think. From what I have found the

recommended amount is 135g-165g of carbs for a child.

So, he is not eating too many calories, just too few carbs.
