|

Welcome to the August / September edition of the newsletter!
|
Pears are in season at the moment. All the recipes are using pears, mostly sweet and some savoury dishes. I hope you enjoy trying them.

Provincial french food is based on really basic ingredients and it tastes and looks awesome! A gluten free tart with a delicious Crème Pâtissière filling.

Focus on Pears
|
|
From Fed Up: Fresh pears are failsafe. Soft, ripe, peeled, pearshaped varieties such as Williams, Bartlett, Packham and Beurre Bosc. Not apple-shaped varieties such as Nashi or Ya which are not suitable for your supervised elimination diet: for people who know by earlier testing that they can tolerate limited amounts of salicylates, you can eat some unpeeled, unripe pears fresh or canned. Home-made pear juice is moderate, commercial pear juice is high).
|
|
Limit intake of pear to no more than 2 serves per day for strict elimination. 1 cup for children, 1-2 cups for older children and adults (from RPAH Elimination Handbook).

GIN & PEAR COCKTAIL & MOCKTAIL
|
|
Domestic Diva: "I must warn you, these little cocktails go down incredible well. The pear syrup is lovely, I think I need to make a few batches of it to keep handy in the fridge". [recipe link]

FAILSAFE BBQ SAUCE & PEAR KETCHUP
|
|
Domestic Diva: This is a staple in our house. It is from Sue Dengate’s Fed Up book. We use it instead of tomato or bbq sauce. I have adapted it to make it quickly and easily in the Thermomix.

CHICKEN & PEAR TAGINE WITH QUINOA
|
|
Failsafe Foodie: Just before we started the elimination diet, my absolute favourite was Moroccan. I had been far too apprehensive to try a failsafe equivalent. It was flavoursome, it has the sweetness and the meatiness and it was rich and filling. [recipe link]

BEEF SAMOSAS WITH PEAR CHUTNEY
Domestic Diva: They are great in lunch boxes for school or for finger food entertaining. These freeze well too. [recipe link]

Fed Up Fact Sheet:
Bedwetting, enuresis, urinary urgency, urinary incontinence in children, adults and dogs
|
|
Symptoms covered in this factsheet are bedwetting, nocturnal and/or diurnal enuresis, urinary urgency and incontinence in children, adults and dogs.
|
|
Any food or food chemical that can cause symptoms of food intolerance such as rashes or children's behaviour problems can also cause bedwetting or urinary urgency.
|
To find out which food chemicals are causing the problem, we recommend an elimination diet that avoids 50 additives, natural chemicals called salicylates, amines and glutamates, and if symptoms are severe, dairy foods and/or wheat and gluten. See more about this in our Introduction to food intolerance factsheet.
|
- Any of the usual nasty additives - including 282, the bread preservative.
- Salicylates - you can cut down on salicylates by drinking water instead of fruit juice or cordial, and avoiding some of the highest foods - citrus, tomatoes, broccoli and grapes, and reducing fruit intake. Or you can do the full diet. For more ideas, see one of my books.
- Dairy foods - some people who have problems with regular cows’ milk find they are OK with A2 milk. Others may need to switch to soy or ricemilk.
|
Often bedwetting clears up within days of starting the diet, although for some children, the diet is not enough. In this case, parents who find the bell and pad system has previously not worked, say that that it works quickly and easily in conjunction with diet.
