We did veggies, egg yoke, and fruits until our daughter could do finger foods. Our 2nd child (6 months now) only likes things that he can chew. He spits out anything pureed. His favorite food is soft bits of meat. Chicken, steak, ground beef, pork chops all just mashed a bit.<br /><br />I have been reading about grains and lectins. My understanding is that lectins are mild poisons that some of our foods contain in quantities high enough to make us unhealthy. They contribute to a lot of health issues after long periods of eating them. I was not feeling sick, but I went off all grain and beans and reduced uncultured dairy for 8 weeks to let my digestive system heal. What did I eat? Meat, eggs, veggies, fruit, roots like potatoes or carrots, nuts, eggs, coconut oil, almond flour, almond butter, yogurt and cheese. Everything is full fat. I did this as a test. This week I had 2 biscuits and 24 hours later I had mild irritable bowl symptoms. So for now I am eating about 90% free of grain, bean and uncultured dairy and I look and feel great. Ihat is the same kind of logic as the baby food. Marian Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17379814404406104207noreply@blogger.com
