Re: Newbie - now what?

[Guest guest]

,

Despite the fact that they are " legal " , I would seriously consider not adding

the pork skins back in..... at least not right now. There have been a couple of

families here who've really struggled to make progress while including them. Of

course, that's up to you.

I'm not familiar with the Knudsen papaya nectar. I know the Knudsen " just juice "

line is OK on SCD. Is that one of them?

In terms of adding back foods..... I'd add one at a time, make sure veggies or

fruits are peeled and cooked.... and choose ones that are easier to digest. For

example, small peeled zucchini would be preferred over cabbage. Butternut squash

is a good choice, too. Anyway, add one food you feel pretty " safe " with.... add

a small amount, wait, watch and write (in a food journal.... anything you

observe).

Newbie - now what?

Hi all,

I just signed up on the list but I've been trying to follow SCD for

about a month for my ds who is probably PDD. We have had him on

feingold for the past 2 years +, went gfcf about a year ago and now I

think he needs more. When I first started him w/SCD he did great,

then he slipped back to his old problems and now since Tuesday he's

been on the starter diet - nothing to eat since then except hard

boiled eggs, chicken pancakes, chicken soup (made w/chicken, carrots

and eggs) and hamburger patties. Today I gave him some gelatin I

made w/Knudson Creamed Papaya nectar (grape juice is too high

salycilate level for him). He's back to seeing the improvements I

saw at first but now I'm not sure how quickly I can start adding in

other legal foods. He especially would like to have his favorite SCD

snack - pork skins w/cashew butter (almonds are also too high

salycilate content for him). I'm sure someone asks this question

just about every day so thanks for bearing with us newbies!!

Blessings,

K

This juice is not legal.

Here is a link to Knudsen's Just Juice list.

http://www.knudsenjuices.com/products/just.asp

Single-strength juices contain a pure burst of fruit flavor — with

no added anything!

The other Knudsen's juices were not guaranteed to not have

additional ingdredients.

Sorry.

Hi ,

There was a lot of discussion about Knudsen juices.... and the final

determination was that the " just juice " ones were legal..... but that the others

are not. There might have been a lot of confusion at the time.... so maybe that

parent was here during that, and just misunderstood. Sorry bout that.

As well-meaning as other friends and SCD aquaintances may be.... it's probably

always best to run things by this list and double check, if it's not made very

clear in the book or on the website.

I know it might seem like a huge hassle.... but if you can get fresh papayas,

and you have a juicer, you could make your own..... if this is a juice that

really agrees with him. Remember to dilute 50%.
