You can try some nut butter and see how it goes with his stools but would

not try

a nut flour yet............too hard to digest. I like cashew butter since

it's low in

salicylates. I buy the nut butter but am starting to make some. Homemade is

always

best on this diet. I am not sure how tolerable macadamia is (never tried

it!)

water.

The juice from it is delicious and good for drinking. Sometimes I throw in

half pears

and half mangos too. Cook a big pot, strain out the liquid, refridgerate

everything till

cool and puree just like any other fruit. I also do this with papayas.

Good luck!!

Hi Gwen,

The purchased nut butters are fine as long as they have no added sugar or

starches..... salt only, if anything.

Congrats on the progress....

Formed BM!!! and 2 questions

Hi,

My son had been having some pretty severe diarrhea just before we

started SCD about 2 1/2 weeks ago. We starting to see some

improvements a few days into it and then today he had the most formed

BM I've seen in a long time! I'm stunned!! And he is off of his

colitis medication (azulfadine) right now b/c we ran out. Anyway,I'm

excited to see what's going to happen next!!!

I have 2 questions: Is it too early to start nut butter and what nut

butter seems to be the best one to start with. I have some macadamia

nut butter from Maranatha. The ingredients are: Dry Roasted

Macadamia Nuts. Can I use this? Also, do most of you make your own

nut butter/flour or purchase it?

2nd: Does anyone cook mangoes? I have a whole bunch and I know that

it is too early for raw fruit. I was wondering if I can make mango

sauce like pearsauce.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Kathy,

The cashew butter is a great choice for later on (and for those who

don't tolerate others) but it shouldn't be used by newbies. There

is too much natural " starch " for those just starting - better

tolerated after a while on the diet. Pecan butter is a great choice

for newbies especially if you can't use almond butter (and a lot of

the ASD kids react to it). If the pecan butter is a no go you might

try the macademia butter. The Maranatha is okay.

Hi Gwen,

I don't use pecan butter. I have made my own pecan flour and almond

butter.

Maranatha makes legal pecan butter.
