Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Because we have never tried removingeggs from Norman's diet, this was suggested and the only replacement forthe protein in eggs at breakfast that I could find would be dairyproducts. >>Vianesse is a GFCFSF Lactalbumin protien shake, I give it to Sam neat in a little water but the nutritionist that recommended said it can be added to soups and stews, I use it to replace milk with creal for me www.GFCFShakes.com Mandi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've just had a look on the website, what is Lactalbumin protein, is it derived from egg protein? >>Milk is made up from 80% Casein and 20% Whey. Of the whey, 14% is Lactose, 4% is fat and 2% is Lactalbumin. Not sure what happened to the other 2% lol, I am reading this from somewhere else Nothing to do with eggs Mandi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It does sound like it would be an answer for us except if it is an eggproduct. Haven't had a chance yet to google Lactalbumin protein. With giving 2-4 scoops a day, does the tin go a long way? >>Would last about 10-14 days at that dosage Mandi x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi everyone, I hope that someone can shed some light on this. Norman has been on a casein free diet for over one year but following his recent biopsies which revealed increased eosinophils indicating inflammation in the eosophagus and the rest of the upper bowel and with failure to pick up what is causing the allergies from RAST tests. One of Dr Fell's suggestions was that we could go down the road of eliminating one food at a time and just maybe we might find the cause, but he was not very hopeful. Because we have never tried removing eggs from Norman's diet, this was suggested and the only replacement for the protein in eggs at breakfast that I could find would be dairy products. So we reintroduced dairy, using sheep's milk yoghurt and cheese, it is only 5 days since we started but his breath is so awful now. He used to have this awful bad breath before we withdrew casein and when we went casein free, his breath cleared up and his tongue which was previously coated despite brushing cleared up as well. So it is quite clear that dairy has something to do with the bad breath. Other than seeing improvement in the breath whilst casein free, we cannot say for certain that there was any other positives. He is showing signs of increased seizure activity since we reintroduced dairy, but I guess I have to monitor this more closely to say for certain. When he was younger (3yrs old) we did the GFCF diet and it was clear then that his behaviours changed from being a very weepy, clingy child to a more settled one but more withdrawn. Could this be an indication of some kind of intolerance or problems with digesting the proteins or something else in dairy. I hope someone can offer an explanation, has anyone else experienced this with their child? TIA, emily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Not wanting to ask the obvious but is there any reason Norman can't have meat? Also, is he taking any digestive enzymes? These may help if he's having trouble with the lactose.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Tim, He does eat meat but is not very fond of it and it would be especially difficult to give him meat first thing in the morning. He just about manages tiny bits of ham. It is really his breakfast that is a problem to find a sufficient source of protein. I'm very welcome to any ideas. We were using Peptizyde, Zyme Prime and No Fenol but stopped the enzymes for a while when Norman experienced unexpected and severe haemoraghing (sp?) following his endoscopies and biopsies. Not sure if this was a wise decision to make, but I was so scared that I pulled out almost all the supplements that we had been using including enzymes. It is apparent now that the bleeding occured from an infection getting into the lower biopsy but I thought that the enzymes may exacerbate the bleeding, don't know if that is possible. I have just restarted Peptizyde at 1 capsule per meal, not sure if we may need more .........hope that it does the trick! thanks for replying, emily > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > I hope that someone can shed some light on this. > > > > Norman has been on a casein free diet for over one year but following > > his recent biopsies which revealed increased eosinophils indicating > > inflammation in the eosophagus and the rest of the upper bowel and > with > > failure to pick up what is causing the allergies from RAST tests.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi We had this when we tried to reintroduce casein in the form of goats cheese, after we had been casein free for a couple of years. I just felt that it meant that he wasn't digesting it properly and so pulled it. However we waited another 2 years and tried again and no problems and we have introduced all goats milk products now and occasional cows cheese or yoghurt made from cows milk with no issues. I'm hoping this means his gut has healed.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hi Kay, Thanks for your reply, sounds the reactions are similar and is most definitely our problem here then but at least there is a chance of hope that Norman might tolerate it later on, if his gut heals. Are you using the enzymes with the dairy products and if so, do you think they have also contributed to your child's tolerance? Think for now I will continue the dairy for a couple moe days but build in the enzymes and see what happens. I will also order the protein shake from Mandi as something to fall back on if problems persist. Thanks again for sharing your experience with this, it really does help. emily xx > > Hi > > We had this when we tried to reintroduce casein in the form of goats cheese, after we had been casein free for a couple of years.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Other protein ideas that work for us are home-made goats milk yoghurt (SCD-style) and kefir. I don't get along well with dairy myself but have been fine on these. Also, allergy permitting, nuts. They should be soaked and can be eaten whole or blended into milks, creams, " cheeses " or baked into fake breads and biscuits. We don't bother baking with them but do eat them whole and in " butter " form.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi Tim, These are really brilliant ideas, don't know why I didn't think of trying Kefir especially since I already do it for myself (but I've been using organic cow's milk). In fact I have to take this opportunity to thank you and Sandy for the Kefir grains, I have been really enjoying it and look forward to my glass each morning. I'll buy some goats milk for the kefir and try my hand at SCD yoghurt, though have not seen any organic goats milk, does this exist from the supermarket? Actually whilst on the subject of kefir, do you know if there would be any benefit in terms of providing good bacteria by eating some of the kefir grains? I have been doing my kefir and before I start a new batch of kefir I wash to remove any casein residue and give it to Norman. Is this beneficial at all in repopulating the gut? I'd verry much like to do the nut and nut butters, but have so far steered clear because of high oxalates! Not actually sure if there is a nut which would be okay on LOD, any ideas? This has really been helpful, thanks very much. emily > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi everyone, > > > > > > > > I hope that someone can shed some light on this. > > > > > > > > Norman has been on a casein free diet for over one year but > > following > > > > his recent biopsies which revealed increased eosinophils indicating > > > > inflammation in the eosophagus and the rest of the upper bowel and > > > with > > > > failure to pick up what is causing the allergies from RAST tests. > > One > > > > of Dr Fell's suggestions was that we could go down the road of > > > > eliminating one food at a time and just maybe we might find the > > cause, > > > > but he was not very hopeful.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi I'm really pleased you're enjoying the kefir! We use frozen unpasturised organic goats milk from our local health food shop for ours. You may be able to find something similar locally or online but I doubt you'd see it in any supermarket. We do compromise and use non- organic goats milk for our yoghurt; the unpasturised milk never worked for us for some reason. Regarding the kefir grains, I'm certain they are a really good source of good bacteria. I just checked my fermentation bible " Wild Fermentation " by Sandor Katz (highly recommended) and he says " ...You can eat the extras, toss them in the compost, give them away to your friends or use them to try culturing other things... " . They are, apparently, " very versatile " ! With nuts, we use them in moderation. We think that oxalates definitely become an issue if you are using nuts as a flour substitute and eating lots of pecan-bread, cookies, etc. But as an occasional snack, or just a few with a meal, they are working really well for us.
