Re: beans beans the magical fruit!!

Sue, thanks for your post. Tristan had chronic diarhea for a verylong

time, We were on DAN and GF/CF then switched to homeotoxicology and

SCD and stools got normal. After about a year of normal stool I added

soy, rice etc. This last time his yeast has got out of control. His

stools are normal and progress still going forward. This is why I

dont know where to start here. Im legal now so I guess I will just

keep what he is eating for now and see what happens. Are we using gas

and stools as the indicator of whether he can have this or that?

Thats what I dont understand yet. I just hate to take away from him

if I dont have to but maybe I do? Most of the foods he is eating in

the past are legal once I made them from scratch like apple sauce.

I just had to modify a little because he was eating pretty darn close

to SCD accept for soy milk and rice and cookies.

Thanks Patti.....This kinda reminds me of when I first went GF/CF I

would give tristan a bowl of beans then the next time I gave it he

thru it on the floor because he was smart and remembered he liked the

taste but it did not provide the high he was looking for. Oh those

days were hard!!

Hi ,

> to SCD accept for soy milk and rice and cookies.

Even if he is having good stools it is still a good idea to wait at

least a little longer before reintroducing beans. Here's the why.

Although on the legal list, even when properly prepared (navy beans,

lentil, split peas) still have a little starch. We soak them and

cook them with lots of moisture which helps the If you have them

too soon although his bowels are pretty good you may still feed some

of the bad bugs. You want to get him " cleared out " and still feed

his body allowing it to heal itself.

After a while on the diet he should have a pretty good population

of " good bugs " (especially if you use probiotics or yogurt or other

fermented food) and had any healing that his gut needed to make. At

that point the body should be better able to handle the little bit

of starch in the legal beans.

Now that you've cut out soy, rice and cookies you're on the right

path. In the meantime he can have string beans now, fresh lima

beans soon and before you know it test out the dried beans again.

Thanks you all convinced me to stay away from beans for a while. Im

not going to add anything from this point on until I get his yeast

cleared which should be soon, and we are back from our BOlles trip.
