Things are looking much better here a week later. :-) We ate lots of great broth, meat and soft cooked veggies for 4 days and then were able to add coconut milk kefir on Wednesday last week, then egg yolk to the soups on Friday and today we have added egg whites - hooray! We are eating casseroles and meats cooked in broths, lots of veggies and now the eggs too.
After the initial "die-off" symptoms, we've mainly had just a few days of whiny / grouchy / runny noses here and there but nothing too bad. Faces are becoming more cheerful and dark circles are disappearing from around eyes. Tom has had a couple days with headaches, but nothing more than that. He has been having more energy and has lost 3 pants sizes so far! He has been bragging to everyone about the yummy food and how good he is feeling. :-)
We are currently on stage 2 of intro, we plan to introduce ghee on Thursday and then move on to stage 3 over the weekend if all is going well. I am allowing 3 days between new foods and keeping careful track on a paper chart of everyone's foods, symptoms, moods, and bowels / digestion. We are faithfully taking our cod liver oil and probiotics.
