Re: A few questions about the diet

1) Can I give him any kind of fruit on the into diet? He eats red

grapes, watermellon and pears.

The intro diet is as it appears on pecanbread.com

(http:www.pecanbread.com/foodprep.html)

There is no fruit allowed on the intro diet. Watered down grape

juice is allowed for carbohydrates.

2) I know BTVC recommends multi vitiamins from Freeda, but

which one or does it matter?

There is a pretty long list of legal supplements on

pecanbread.com.

(http://www.pecanbread.com/supplements.html) You may use

any of those or any other brand that contains only legal

ingredients.

3) Can I use any kind of can Italian tomatoes to make pasta

sauce or is it just fresh?

To make tomato sauce, you boil down tomato juice. If you like it

thicker and a little chunky, you can add some fresh diced

tomatoes. The recipe for the tomato sauce is in Breaking the

Vicious Cycle.

) This is a BIG ONE......

I was giving my son Meletonin recommended by my DAN after I

told him that my son has recently started with these tantrum at

night

You can still give Melatonin on SCD. I use KAL brand. No illegal

fillers. We use the .5 mg fast acting type. Works like a charm

every night.

I found a product called Calms from the maker of Hyland in the

health food store.

The ingredients you listed are like a foreign language to me.

The only way to know if it is legal is to do some research on each

one of those ingredients on google to see if you can figure out

whether they are made up of di- or polysaccharides.

Welcome to the list!!

ACK! Since my book hasn't arrived yet, I've been trying to muddle through. I

started on the diet today, but definitely not the intro diet! OH my - no

carbs at all I see. This would bring on ketosis. Is that bad? Or is it not

long enough.

I promise I ordered my book today and it should arrive soon... just wanted to

try and get started sooner.

Robbie,

Are you saying that you see no carbs on the intro diet? I pasted it

into this message. Well cooked carrots, juice, and homemade gelatin

made with fruit juice are on the intro - all have carbs.

From www.pecanbread.com Food Preparation:

Take care,

As Jody wrote watered down grape juice is there for carbs. Ditto the

diluted legal apple cider. There are also carbs in the carrots in

the chicken soup. If you make the cheesecake there will be some carbs

in that.
