Re: SCD 2nd time around, any ideas

[Guest guest]

My son's favorite cookie is the " Trail Mix " cookie from " Cooking to heal little

Tummies. " It has coconut,pecans,raisins, honey and a small amount of almond

flour in it. They are quite good. My whole family loves them.

He has nut yogurt and fruit in his thermos most of the time. Sometimes I put

small bites of SCD legal sausage in his thermos. He also gets sliced cucumbers

with salt, blueberry or banana nut muffins, almond flat bread with homemade jam.

SCD 2nd time around, any ideas

Hi everyone,

My son was on the SCD from 1/04 to 3/05. It did help him

some, but his BMs did not improve at all. It helped with hi sensory

issues and hyperactivity. Tests show that he has no yeast, but I

disagree. We ventured to a GF, soy free, low casein ang sugar diet

with the help of Houston Enzymes. He has been chelating for almost

4 months now, and I think his system will be better able to heal on

the SCD now that the metals are leaving his system.

enjoys a variety of SCD muffins. I have not yet found a

cookie that he will eat. He has a difficult time at school because

several children in his class use chips ang cookies as reinforcers.

He will eat fruits, but no veggies unless I hide them. He has a

HUGE appetite. I have a hard time filling his luchbox with enough

food to keep him happy and full and not envious of the other kids.

He had been known to try and sneak others foods. The only lunch

food he will eat are chicken or turkey tots. Does anyone have any

suggestions especially in the crunchy sweet area. Thanks. We will

try yogurt in a few weeks.

Thanks again,

Regina mom to 6, ASD scd 2nd time around 3 days with 1

accident at Grandmas and no die off yet.

also mom to 8, Kayla 4 and a 2

We also did not find that SCD did anything for us the first time

we did it (seven weeks during Spring 2004). He was GFCFSFCFYF,

Feingold, organic, low-phenol/salicilyte, rotation, etc - that is

what we went back to. However, after getting some astronomical

anaerobic gut bug lab results back, I restarted SCD with him this

winter, with one BIG difference: I asked for an IgG food panel and

factored his restrictions (all thirty-nine of them!) into our 'SCD;

Part Deux' venture.

It made all the difference in the world. We saw improvement in

bowel function within two weeks' time. Seven months later, we are

down to one or occasionally two, usually formed stools per day. We

do some other 'off the cuff' things SCD-wise as well.

Another aspect that we have recently been looking into is the

oxalate issue (there is a yahoo group for this). Interestingly

enough, many of the SCD-legal foods he was reactive to are high in

oxalates. As there is a family history of kidney stones and some

other metabolic weirdness on both sides of the family, this may have

been a key 'puzzle piece' too. FWIW.

I hear that, lol. When Glenn's malabsorption issues were at

their worst, he could eat as much as an adult (he's four) and go

looking for more. As his system improves, and he is absorbing more

of his nutrition, he is less ravenous. HTH!

-christine: (mostly SCD; w/ the occasional cheeseburger, lol)

Glenn: SCD no dairy, no nuts, no seeds, no beans, limited fruit and

honey since 2.01.05. Low oxalate since 9.01.05

Would the cookbook be worth buying for someone doing the diet without

eggs? I find most recipes contain eggs.

Hi Regina,

> enjoys a variety of SCD muffins.

Which muffins? What some do is take muffins slice them in two (or

three - depends on how tall the muffin is). Then dry out the muffin

(low oven 200°F or a dehydrator)so it is crunchy.

What nuts is he eating? Other foods?

What cookies have you tried that he doesn't like?
