Question on Baby Fruit and Vegetables

[Guest guest]

We just got back from Hopkins last night and Broc is on his first week of

the diet. I have a question regarding fruits and vegetables. Broc is (was)

still eating baby foods. If we purchase vegetables and fruits that fit our

menus is it ok to just use the baby food version as long as the only

ingredients are the fruit or vegetable and water? My guess is yes but I

want to be sure.

Mike, if I were you, I would use the fresh vegetables, blend them up and

freeze for later use, it is much cheaper this way, you know they are fresh,

and you know exactly what is in it.

Stella is 5, so we use fresh veggies, however, when she was a baby I made

all her baby food.

good luck with the diet

waiting to be seizure free. Also on Lamictal, epam and Diamox. Anisa

is almost 10 and a happy healthy girl.

Hi Mike,

Welcome to the website; I recognize you from the IS group. Good luck

with the diet. Indigo has been on the diet now for 8 weeks, and

although not seizure-free, has made some amazing developmental gains

since starting.

The weights for the baby foods are different than regular veggies

because of the added water and other hidden ingredients. Our

dietician went through special pains to contact the manufacturers of

the babyfood to get details. We originally planned to use the canned

babyfoods. However, we found that fresh veggies and plain meats meet

our needs very well, and allow us to cut the foods to sizes that are

appropriate to her growing feeding skills. We still haven't figured

out how to be mobile, but we're working on it.

If you want to call us, you are welcome, and maybe we can share some

recipes and general experiences. We can also give you a template we

use to keep track of all the ins and outs of supplements and menus.

The key to success and acceptance of the diet is to have a very good

dietician; ours actually does all of our calculations for us with

exact incredients. Even though we don't have a lot of flexibility to

add diet plans, we don't worry about whether we are implementing the

diet right.

Take care,

and Indigo
