Hi,

I am starting my 20 month old ASD son on the SCD. I

have started cooking some of the recipes in BTVC but I

cannot do all because my son is allergic to the

ingredients.

I am not sure about this allergy issue, because in the

book Elaine writes about anaphylactic reactions and we

don't have that. He just get a rash when he eats

something he is allergic to. Would it be ok to add

those foods?

My son doesn't have diarrhea, so I was wondering if we

can skip the intro diet because he cannot tolerate

chicken and is allergic to dairy, eggs and nuts. I

don't think the intro diet would be nutritious enough

if we eliminate those items. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Flor, mom to Simon

It might be best to wait a while before adding in those foods.

Sometimes the illegal starches etc. make the body sensitive to

certain foods. And when the starches, illegal sugars etc. are

removed from the diet it allows the body to heal enough so those

reactions don't occur anymore.

If he can't tolerate these foods yet it is probably best to skip the

intro. I would still suggest staying with basic easy to digest

foods becauseeven though he may not have diarrhea the rash indicates

something isn't behaving properly. Eating the basic foods will

allow his body to dial back the fighting reaction and concentrate on

healing the gut. Basic foods would be peeled, cooked fruit and

vegetables. Avoid raw and dried fruit and veggies until you see how

he adjusts to the diet (He may have die off symptoms). see
