Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Sorry. I didn't think it was going to go through since almost none of my other ones have lately. I would appreciate any help from moderators or any other parent that has been through this very same thing before. Thanks in advance. Jenn & Kali 7 months scd. HELP.... > Ok here goes. I put my daughter, 5 with Autism on SCD 7 months ago. She had die-off a few times. She also made great gains. Although, the only veggies she has eaten are uncooked carrots and cooked zucchini which I hid in the pb brownies but, only once a week would she eat them each. I give her carrot & pinapple juice with water and occasionally grape juice. That's all she drinks. She will only eat raw apples and never started with cooked, peeled or deseeded fruits or veggies. She literally throws up when just a bite of pureed or warm fruits or veggies touches her tounge. Then, she is too grossed out(?) to want anything else. She is very thin already and she will wait till she gets home from school to want to eat anything almost everyday. When she comes home, she indulges in protein ONLY! She has had some recent infractions and she is no longer looking me in the eye or imitating me. Did her yeast grow back with the infractions? I feel she may have problems because she gets constipated > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Does it sound like she needs to be on a rotation diet? I haven't done much checking into the rd's. I know her I gA is 478. From 0-100 that's really too high. We don't know why yet...Jenn & Kali 7 months scd HELP.... > > > > Ok here goes. I put my daughter, 5 with Autism on SCD 7 months ago. She > had die-off a few times.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 > > Does it sound like she needs to be on a rotation diet? Rotation is not a basic SCD protocol as we aim at variety. But if that works for you I would not try to discourage you from continuing with it. However, I would not suggest is as a general procedure to others. Also, constant reptition of only the same foods every day long term is not the best idea. Carol F. SCD 5 years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi Jenn, What did she eat before SCD? How about making foods that have cooked veggies added in? Meatloaf, meatballs? The bread recipe that uses cooked vegetables in the file section (If you puree the veggies beforehand you won't know at all), tomato sauce pureed with cooked vegetables. Sheila > > Ok here goes.

I feel she may have problems because she gets constipated like she is - 3 days now- and all with protein left in there for too long. Do I take away the eggs and meat when she gets home and force her to choose something good or not eat at all? She has very dark circles around her eyes now and only noticed them before she went on the diet. This cannot be healthy. Why won't she eat? Is she holding out for the " bad " foods? She ate a hershey's kiss one day, 2 pieces of potatoe bread another day and 2 big bites off of butter cut into a star another day. All at holiday parties we were invited to and I tried to stop her but, she is quick and knows to swallow fast. She has even had increased PICA. What can I do for her constipation? She will not eat anything that will make her need to go. I need a supplement or something that will work fast and see if she's just not feeling great due to the constipation. Sorry so long but, how much longer does she need to be going through all this- No Eating at times and not eating the good stuff. I'm sure she has GI problems and hope to have these addressed soon. I will try to stick with it for the next month until those GI test results come back and maybe start over at that time. Right now, I don't think it'll be beneficial to start over because she won't eat most of the foods on the intro. Do the moderators here have any helpful suggestions? We went through going off meds and behaviors are down. We aren't going back to pre-scd ever again so, we would appreciate any help please. Thanks in advance.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Kali ate potatoe chips, chocalate chip cookies, french fries and meat only before the diet. She was just weaned off of McD's chix nuggets a month ago also to make it 100 SCD but, the way she's choosing not to eat certain foods or at all is not good. I tried the meatballs. She won't eat ground meat. She won't eat any breads either, if I buy them or bake them myself -only the pb brownies. No crackers. Her carb intake is usually just the juices. She just won't eat any other carbs except only if she gets her hands on a friend's cheerios or chips at school. Her teacher knows the strictness of this diet and is good about not letting it happen but, Kali is very quick about it. Thanks. Sheila. Jenn & Kali 7 months scd Re: HELP....

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Nope, not on vacation. What type of meat does she like? Will she eat hamburgers? Meatloaf? You mentioned the brownies. Will she eat those everyday? What about juicing vegetables and putting them in her fruit juice? If I remember right carrot and beet juice will send most people running to the toilet.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 In regards to a rotation diet... Very few people actually implement a true rotation diet where only foods from the same family are eaten on the same day and the families are rotated on a 4 day cycle. Given what you've said about her pickiness and willingness to hold out, I don't honestly see how you could implement a true rotation diet.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Jen, If you just got the last of the wheat out of her diet a month ago, my guess would be that she has been going through withdrawal and that she's craving it REALLY bad. At least my son did. He did anything and everything he could just to get a tiny bite of something. I honestly saw him looking like he needed a cigarette or something. Like he was really physically addicted to it. If those foods are in her classroom, I wouldn't be surprised if she's not getting something she shouldn't every day she goes to school, especially since you say that she's sneaky and quick. Maybe over the Christmas break, you can get her system 100% legal and keep her away from infractions. I know it seems impossible. I'm not sure how heavy she is, but it may involve you carrying her around at family/friend's holiday events. Oftentimes, once kids get all of the " bad " stuff out of their systems, they open up to trying new foods. You mentioned chocolate chip cookies... will she eat any other kind of cookie?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 She will eat maybe 1 small brownie a day and I do put zucchini in it. But, lately she does not even want them. We have used carrot juice, a small amt. every other day for quite a while now and still constipation. She will not eat hamburgers or ground meat of any kind. I feel very much at an end for her. She eats the same things everyday and I'm afraid she will or is having a reaction to these foods too now since her infractions. It has been 6 days of restlessness. And night wakenings also.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 She used to like the spicy walnut cookies but, will no longer eat them either. Kali has to go through a cleanout with senna & magnesium citrate to be ready for GI scopes next Thurs. & a nutritional analysis among other tests. The GI Dr. will be using secretin. i hope it works for her on a treatment basis but, who knows...

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Have you tried giving your daughter Magnesium Oxide for her constipation problems? It works by drawing moisture into the bowel, is a non-stimulant, and is not habit forming. It has really helped my son who has had horrible problems with constipation. I was having to continually increase the amount of magnesium citrate I gave him to get him to have a bm, and then it would be completely runny. A small amount of magnesium oxide helps him go daily. I buy the powdered mag oxide and put 1/4 tsp. in his juice. I have also put it in his pancakes or muffins when he wasn't drinking his juice very well. It can also be mixed in with a spoonful of food. If she is really constipated right now, you may need to give her a larger dose along with some magnesium citrate or vitamin C powder to get her going. Just another option since you asked if there was a supplement that may work. I tried and tried to get my son's constipation issues fixed through food, but it just wouldn't work for him because he either wouldn't eat a particular food or he didn't tolerate things like carrots for juicing or prune juice nectar and various other natural food ways to stop constipation. Hope this or something else that has been suggested will help you. Debbie > > Nope, not on vacation. > > > What type of meat does she like? > Will she eat hamburgers?
