: i have read at a few web sites not to use baby
food as a large portion of your igs diet. i use
organic baby food when i am "tricking " petrie
into eating foods he doesn`t really like. i don`t
do it often now, but when i was feeding him the mk
diet i did it almost daily because he would not
touch his salad portion, only his leafy greens. i
used to use the baby food to stick the salad to
the underside of the leaves so that way when he
went for the greens he would be forced to eat the
salad as well. is there any problem with this? my
thinking was of 2 possible reasons that baby food
could be bad:
: 1. it is processed, so it could have
preservatives and additive stuff
: 2. it may lose potency for some nutrients it
contains because like the frozen foods it is
stored for possibly long periods of time.

: are these correct? in response to #1 i only use
organic preservative free baby foods. for #2, i
was not using it as a large portion of the diet,
just enough to make the food stick to the
leaves.... is this problematic? i don`t do it
anymore. the only time i feed baby food now is
when i have`nt made it to the store and i`m low on
veggies i`ll mix a little in to make up for that.
: i know i ask alot of questions like this, but
for me to really abide by something i need to
understand why. otherwise it is very difficult for
me to see the point in something. i am a very
thourough person i want to understand the reasons
for things, it really helps me remember things as
well. which is why i am posting all of these
burning questions here! =)

Meagan,we use a combo of MK's and Swoffords diets.It no absolute diet that you have to stick to.It's what gets the widest most nutrious foods for you Petrie that counts.As long as there are no animal high protein fats in his diet,,you're doing fine.We just can't be exact with these guys just yet because so little is known about them yet.If your boy is healthy then you are doing what's right for him.Just my humble opinion.And lots of red double hibiscus to him and head bobs from Cirsis.
