Our first food trial: pumpkin

Monday 3rd August 2015

Today was day one for the pumpkin trial. I roasted some butternut pumpkin on Saturday (without any oil or seasoning, just pure slices of butternut pumpkin) and froze them. This morning for breakfast I gave George a small amount of defrosted roasted pumpkin which he eagerly gobbled up. It was a soft texture but I didn't mash it or anything. I'll double the quantity of pumpkin for breakfast tomorrow. George went to his carer and so far, so good. No reports of any reactions this far.

Papaya/pawpaw trial

Trialing papaya/pawpaw, starting Monday 22nd June. George seems to enjoy the flavour and texture. I couldn't find and fresh so I bought tinned papaya.

Is it normal to see whole I digested pieces of papaya in his poos? I will ask George's dietitian next time I see her. 

Unsure if it's a pass or not. May need to retrial later.
