Intro diet - beverages & broiling??

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Besides from the Apple & Pear Sauce, I see no other beverages listed

for the Intro or the Stage part of the Diet. What can you drink on

Intro & at which " stage " could you add other " legal " fruit jucies?

I see the Intro diet allows broiling of hamburgers & roasted

chicken. How do you roast the chicken if " baking " in the oven is not

allowed at Intro? What is broiling? (I live in South Africa & am not

familiar with this term). If I can't broil the hamburgers &/or

chicken, then can I braai (barbeque to the US) them or will a bit

of " baking " in the oven do no harm?

How many eggs are allowed per day, before they are considered to

be " harmful " ?

Thanks

> Intro

Apple and pear sauce are not on the intro diet. After the intro you

can gradually introduce them. The drinks on the intro are legal

apple cider or legal grape juice - diluted to half juice & half

water.

& at which " stage " could you add other " legal " fruit jucies?

After the intro you can introduce other legal juices. They should

still be diluted.

Broiling is placing food under direct heat. The broiling allows fat

to drip away. If your oven does not have a broiler you can BBQ it

just don't let the meat burn

If you bake them try putting them on a rack that allows fat to drip

away from the meat.

Elaine has said 3 eggs /day are okay (that doesn't include eggs used

in baking)

Is pear juice made at home in a juicer legal on the intro diet? My son

avoids apples and grapes because of his sensitivity to salicylates.

Thanks.

Golden delicious apples are actually low in phenols. Have you

tried them with him before?

Jody,

I haven't but I just bought some to see how he does. It would be nice to

have another food in the repertoire. Does that mean that homemade pear juice

is not legal on the intro diet?

Thanks,

Hi Sheila,

Jody mentioned trying golden delicious apples made at home in a juicer, so I

am assuming that this is legal on the intro diet as a substitute for apple

cider. Is this correct? Also, how much juice is allowed on the intro diet

and

also after?

Thanks,

Hi ,

Homemade pear juice is SCD legal, but should be diluted to half

water half juice. The only juices on the intro diet are grape juice

and apple cider (both diluted).

Hi ,

That's correct, pear juice is not on the intro diet. But you can

try and introduce it after (diluted with water).

Yes, you could use that for the intro. You'll want to make sure

that some of the pulp/fiber is out. You can use a strainer for this

and still dilute the juice (half juice half water). The pulp may be

too much for an injured gut.

You want to try and balance juice along with other things so they

don't " fill up " on juice.
