Guest guest Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 I have a 2 1/2 year old son just diagnosed with autism. He is going on a completely gluten, casein free diet for 6 weeks to get everything out of his system, then beginning SCD. He has IgA deficiency & I prefer to only use SCD, but his specialist says to make sure it's not a milk allergy first. He prefers SCD, too, I think, because he gave me pecanbread as a website for reference. I ordered Breaking the Vicious Cycle yesterday (2 hours after his official diagnosis), but need a little more help. What improvements should I look for? How hard is it to stick with? Are there some " fun " foods to make his transition easier? We're beginning the 1st of February, but I'm doing all of my research ahead of time, so I can be completely consistent. I have a lot of hope in this helping. Even a small improvement would be a blessing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Welcome to the group. I think that going GFCF first is not a good idea. It will introduce foods that your child will not be allowed to have on SCD. I think a transition to a dairy free version of SCD would be much better. GFCF is comprised of so many starches that are just not allowed on SCD and many of the parents can tell you that their children were truly addicted to starch before starting SCD. If you go to www.pecanbread.com, you will find information on how to start dairy-free SCD. In a month or two (or more), you can try introducing a small amount of goat or cow dairy and see if your child tolerates it. We make lots of " fun " foods: cookies, cake, muffins, ice cream, fruit leathers, etc. But again, I would really caution you against switching to the GF starches for 6 weeks then trying to remove them. I think a slow transition to SCD would be better. Jody mom to -7 and -9 SCD 1/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I think you'll find LOTS of fun foods on SCD. Check into banana pancakes and peanut butter brownies as being a couple of the easiest. You'll find lots more in the book and on the website.
