Healing the Gut Tribe ~ March - Page 29

[Pookietooth]

bluets, I have heard that foods in the same botanical families can cause problems for people with allergies, but I think it's an individual thing. DS gets digestive problems with almonds, but cherries, plums, and peaches don't bother him.

from your mouth to God's ears!

See post #3 in this thread for links on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. It's intended to heal the gut and therefore elminate food intolerances by allowing the digestion to work correctly. Also digestive enzymes are extremely helpful b/c they break down the food and it has a lesser chance of causing a reaction.

www.pecanbread.com is the site for kids and the SCD. A few good "veggie hiding" recipes there.

Soy is very hard to digest, it contains phytates which impair digestive enzymes.

I've been so stressed for time lately the cheat sheet has stalled!

I thought if I soak the almonds the sores would not be on my tongue. Anybody else have sensitivities to nuts on the SCD.

man, i have this too! no way. what am i going to eat? there's nothing left! i am going to become an egg!

seriously, what to eat?

(and does anyone else feel entirely more sensitive to their foods overall?)

(ps--i know it's april...)

i'm somewhat afraid to eat new things. we have a set of foods that don't produce scary poops in ds - i'm reluctant to change that balance. so we're eating a lot of broccoli and carrots, much to dh's chagrin.

Oh no, please don't tell me this is why my tounge has been sore today! I decided to try eating almond flour with a touch of honey and butter as a treat (don't give me heck, I had a really rough day )

Now my toungue is really sensitive at the tip, where I've been licking off the stuff from the spoon (I originally thought it was the raw garlic which I hadn't eaten since on SCD. I did make sure to chop v. finely and mix with my soup [as a preventative for mastitis since I had a sore breast]. The sensitivity to almonds makes more sense though)

Did someone start an April thread yet? I don't see one but I want to make sure...

[nicolena]

i know i'm a newbie, but i'm going to be bold and start cause i need help!

[JaneS]

Sorry, I never know what day it is!!

Everyone please move over to April's thread:

Hey, nicholas_mom, I'm 40 as of last December, and probably won't ttc unless I find a new dh who wants more kids (my current one doesn't). Anyway, as far as the sores on your tongue, that sounds like an allergic reaction, which can't be helped by any processing. Have you tried pecans? DS can't handle almonds, but pecans and cashews don't seem to bother him. Of course, they are much more expensive.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try the pecans or cashews.
