Re: veggie question: especially for those with food problems

> My son is on the gfcf and Feingold diet. He's been improving, and his eating

selections have really expanded. We are doing

Peptizyde and No-Fenol as well. I realized a while back that carrots gave him

diarrhea... like badly within 2 hours of eating them.

There didn't seem to be any other side effect from them, just the diarrhea.

Anyways, my son had always enjoyed squash as a baby...

and I'm thinking about try it on him again. I suppose I should just buy one and

try it, but I wanted to see what opinions people had

before I try it.

When I gave my son carrots, he had NASTY diarrhea that burned his bottom. This

happened with other orange foods also. Turns out,

he had lutein intolerance, and I had to remove all orange, red, and green foods

for quite a while. The red and green foods caused other

sorts of problems, not the burning diarrhea.

Enzymes did not help this, but chelation did.

So you can try squash if you want, but if it is orange, be prepared for possible

nasty diarrhea. And if you get that, then I would

suggest you consider dropping all orange, red, and green foods for a week, see

if that helps.

> Is diarrhea the only indicator of a lutein problem?

My son did not have diarrhea with lutein once he was eating it every day, it

just made him hyper and stimmy.

Enzymes did not help with this problem, but chelation did get rid of it after

about 70 rounds.

Good luck.

Not for my son.

>> Would you recommend a site on lutein, or can you tell me what it is all in?

Here is the site with a good description, altho it says lutein intolerance is an

" inborn error of metabolism " , when for my son it was

deep metal toxicity.

I have the lutein link on my phenol page, because from my experience it is more

of a phenol-type issue. But it is interesting anyway.

> Hmmm..interesting. My son is still more hyper and stimmy than I think he

should be (if *should be* for stimming and hyperness is

acceptable). Do you have info on your site about lutein?

Only the site I gave you.

Excellent!!! Good news is always welcome.

Carrots are a hard to digest food anyway particularly if they are

raw. Were these cooked? No-Fenol should help with this, but carrots

are still a hard to digest (lots of fiber!)

As for ketchup, there are lots of things in ketchup that can trigger

reactions: sugar, high fructose corn syrup, nitrates, amines, might

be colorings or flavorings. How is he with straight tomatoes?

Squash is usually tolerated. My MIL can't eat potatoes and so she has

mashed squash instead (prepared just like mashed potatoes).
