Hi all,
My 8 year old daughter has had Ulcerative Colitis for 4 years and is having trouble putting on enough weight to stay in the normal growth charts. She is on medication, and recently we have been seeing a nutritionist as well as a eating from a limited ingredient diet. The nutritionist gave us some ideas to get more fat and protein for her, which included jerky and snack sticks. All of the store-bought and most of the snack stick recipes however include ingredients that are considered a 'no-go' for her diet.
I need to find a recipe that does not include sugar, honey is OK.
Other ingredients that I have to exclude are milk, any soy products, MSG, and many others, but those are what I've seen in a lot of the recipes.
She is supposed to stay away from nitrates, but that's an impossibility so I'm not too worried about using some pink curing salt.
She is not a fan of things that are too spicy, but I don't want something that is only sweet so will add some fine ground (so that she doesn't see it) black and white pepper.
Tangy is good but won't have time to order Fermento before my first try, and not sure that she can have that anyway.
I have a large grinder(#12 with stuffer attachments) and a trailer smoker. Does anyone have a limited ingredient snack stick recipe that they could suggest?
Thanks!!!!
