Last night for din din, I made beef stock stew, (beef, stock, carrots, celery and garlic.) and kale chips( kale, coconut oil , and salt, bake 10mins @350... or until crispy)
The stew was pretty good and I do not like beef stews or beef in general. And the kale chips were yummy but I put way too much salt on them.
At first Kline was like, "oh, hell no!" but then after I said I would make him banana ice cream, If he drank all of his broth and some meat, he was into eating and drinking the broth. This is huge because for 2weeks I haven't been able to get him to drink broth at all! So he ate and as a treat I gave him ice cream!!!!
I know you are thinking ice cream can't be allowed in a sugar free diet!! Well, let me tell you how I made the ice cream.
-Take ripe banana's ( I got a large bag of ripe banana's for 99€ at whole foods) what a deal!!!!!!
-Peel them and put them in a zip lock in the freezer.
- take them out of the freezer and blend them till smooth.
And you have banana ice cream, delish!!! One ingredient and no sugar and it got my kid to drink his broth! Which is so important on the gaps diet!
Unfortunately, banana's aren't allowed till stage 6 in the intro diet, so this bribing won't work till then! Bummer!
Kline is starting to feel better.....from the pneumonia that is. His skin is still a mess! Last night we gave him an Epsom salt bath and used extra virgin olive oil on his skin......it doesn't seem to burn as much as all the other cream! I also started him on cod liver oil, which is supposed to help eczema.
Sometimes I feel like I am shooting into the biggest open to kill a fish , not a bucket!
I'll keep you posted on his skin! I think we have 4weeks till we are on intro gaps. Holy crap! We still have to ween him off juice and fruits and finish most of our not allowed foods! mean while I am stocking up on stock and trying gaps legal recipes. I bought a bunch of gizzards & cow heart and I have no idea what to do with those, better start reading!
Have an un-itchy day! Xoxoxoxo

It's much better having a treat that is GAPS legal, even if it's a later stage. Many people have to bribe their kids with much much worse foods.
ReplyDeleteIf you let the bananas get very ripe, they will have less starch and more monosaccharides. Bananas should be mostly black, no green, and the inside soft and sweet.
What I beautiful child. I really feel for him. He doesn't deserve to have this happen to him. : ( You are on the right path doing gaps. I really want him to get better with this diet. Have you ever tried coconut oil on him? My son takes cod liver oil and these...
ReplyDeleteHe takes 2 of these by mouth and pops them in his mouth, chews them for awhile a spits out the capsule.

How often does he take baths?
Thank you ! He baths about every 3days, but we are supposed to do more with epsome salts! I love amazon too!!! Thank you, the homeopathic just told us how bad our water is, we have to get filters for everything, we even have a lot of Arsenic in our water! Yuck, so I have to figure out what to get! Thanks a bunch!! And I am ordering blue ice fermented cod liver oil, I guess that's the best?? Is that what your kiddo takes? Xoxo loren
ReplyDeleteSorry I am getting back to this almost 2 months later. The kids take the butter and cod liver oil blend. It is supposed to be better for protecting your teeth. However, I don't think your son could take it because of his allergies. The easiest for me to take is the chocolate as it is not so strong smelling as the cinnamon tingle. My 4 year old is the only one who likes the cinnamon. They all take it with no problem. In fact, my 8 year old likes the chocolate. I just try to get it down with one gulp, but he "chews: his. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am doing a lot of commenting today. Sorry if I forgot somethings he is allergic to or I repeated.
