Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi everyone, I'm new to the list and don't believe I've posted before. My 7 year old son has Autism and has been SCD for 4 months (99.9%). I've often read, on this list and elsewhere, that once a child is on SCD for a period of time, they will begin choosing a much larger variety of foods. I'm not finding that to be true with my son at all. In fact, it's almost like he's still craving all the wheat he used to love to eat. Early in the diet he did eat some meat and eggs, but not anymore. He will not eat any fruits or vegetables. He does like Fruit Leathers though. He still (as before the diet) will get on a 'kick' with a certain food and want the same thing every day until he gets sick of it. I've always tried to at least make him eat something different for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but each of those meals will be repeated day after day. He recently came off of a 2 month (breakfast only) pancake binge. All he really wants to eat now is pizza (with nothing on it except sauce). I've caved and am letting him eat it for lunch and dinner. Breakfast is a challenge every day. I've tried different things and have been able to get him to eat some bacon the past few days but he's not thrilled with that either. I can tell he still craves wheat, especially crunchy stuff (he really misses chips, pretzels, crackers). Any explanations or suggestions? I'd appreciate any input at all. Thanks, Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
