Trying intro after 20 months - need help

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

My children (Abi-6yrs-ADHD & Isaac-3yrs-ASD) have been SCD for 20

months with good results initially. However after some time they

began having setbacks. In September we added LOD to our list of

restrictions and have seen more improvements. However, they are

still excessively active and babbling all to often. To get better

cooperation (it worked), we jumped right into SCD so I never

introduced fruits/veggies separately to check for reactions. I

thought I would try to do an alternative (SCD/LOD) intro over the

Christmas break to check for phenol reactions, etc. I just reread

BTVC and looked at the stages of introduction on Pecanbread trying

to see how I could work it out w/ our LOD restrictions. I guess my

main reason for doing the intro would be to see if they may have

problems w/ phenols but the lists are confusing to me.

They are currently eating:

chicken/lamb/beef/turkey/bison

golden delicious apples/green grapes/melons/avocados/coconut/bananas

winter squashes/cauliflower/peas/zucchini/cucumbers/red peppers

eggs/coconut oil& milk and olive oil and spices, etc.

I think that is it. Today I gave them chicken broth and they were

okay but I know I need to give them something more substantial

tomorrow. I was going to try and do broth and chicken and a veggie

but didn't know where to start because I am not sure which ones

would be the lowest in phenols. I didn't see avocados on the stages

list. Any ideas? Would pureed peas or cauliflower be okay? what

about avocado? I think I remember that coconut was high phenol -

right? Also, if phenols were a problem, how long would it take to

get it out of the system so I could see if they were having a

reaction to a particular food? No noted improvements today w/ 24

hours of no phenolic foods. I know this is poor planning as I have

less than a week until they return to school. Any insight or ideas

would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
