Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'm guessing that if your daughter is reacting to foods via your breastmilk, your body may not be digesting the foods properly. A good test would be to start yourself on digestive enzymes, and then see if she improves.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Wow, thanks!

I dilute a bit lesss than half and half, using a little more juice than water. >Do I need to dilute it to make gelatin? gelain calls for a total of two cups of liquid, so I disolve the powder in 1/4 cup cold water, pour on 1/4 cup hot water, add enough water to bring the total to one cup and then add one cup of juice. Can I use > other fruits or should I stick to home made apple and grape juices? I use orange juice and tomato juice for gelatin and also would try juicing other fruits like pears, peaches, apricots etc. > We had big success right away the first time around, I think that is > because we came from a whole food/organic diet anyway.

Tiny bits of illegals cause problems. There isn't much virtue in thinking because you use fewer you are doing better. > My ds1 (the one > with ASD) never seemed to react to casein so we did yogurt right away > (cows milk).

I would have done the intro diet as specified, introduced yogurt gradually and used goat's milk so i could journal other foods and isolate reactions. > > Any other advice as we start over?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Thanks for the info! It can be a little overwhelming working out the details with so much info swimming around my head. Plus, our life has become chaotic recently.... We ARE doing better than we were before we started the first time. My ds was severely malnourished because he self-limited his food so much. All he ate was whole grain crackers and potatoes, plus the occasional yogurt smoothie if I triple strained it and the texture was just right (otherwise he would gag). Just the fact he is eating OTHER food is a huge step forward Plus, we introduced meat back into our diet and after a few months of trial and error he will eat it occasionally. His health is better by leaps and bounds and we are able to actually DO the intro diet because he will actually eat some of the foods! The progress we have made so far and how much easier the intro diet will be this time around are the things that keep me going. Having a child who has severe reactions to so many foods, then sensory issues to so many other foods is a hard road to be on. Especially when you see your child pale, lethargic, and just wasting away before your eyes (testing showed his nutritional status to be low in all areas and severely low in a few key things). We really couldn't afford to limit him any more by starting SCD but we knew we didn't have a choice. We are at SUCH a better place than we were. I would take a few indiscretions and a better start over THAT any day! I feel so positive about jumping back in 100% Thanks for the info!
