Re: lemon in mayo

[Guest guest]

I am not sure why you think that lemon juice is stage four. Eating

a raw lemon would be a thing to do later in the diet, but juice is

allowed at the beginning of the diet. Grape juice and apple cider

are even allowed on the intro.

You can use the lemon juice or the vinegar, whatever you prefer.

I didn't think I liked mayonnaise at all until I started making mayo

from scratch years and years ago when we were GFCF. I made

it with lemon juice (the recipe that's on pecanbread.com). I

realized that it was the vinegar in mayo that I had always disliked.

Thanks Jody, I made it and it's delish, we ate it with bacon, eggs

and mushrooms, Hudson had it all pureed together and he gobbled it. I

thought lemon juice may be stage four since lemons are, and I haven't

read anything to say juices are ok at the start of the diet. I know

people give grape juice and cider but I hadn't read about it so we

haven't. Hudson drinks pureed stewed fruit and the water used to cook

it, and nut milk with bananas in a shake. Thanks, Chris.

Please don't avoid legal foods just because they are not listed on The Stages.

The Stages are just suggested guidelines.

Recheck page 61 of BTVC and if possible reread the entire chapter on introducing

the diet. Once diarrhea is gone you can use all raw fruits and vegetables your

child tolerates.

One of the concerns about the stages is not all permitted foods are listed.

there simply isn't room.

We would not want people to limit their children to restricted menu needlessly..
