New to diet... about to start... any advice would help!

[Guest guest]

My almost 3 y/o son, Sasha, has been GFCF for 8 months now. We have

been treating him for yeast and bacteria for months now using rounds

of Diflucan and Flagal. We've also used many natural helpers such as

GrapeFruit Seed Extract and Garlic. He has also been on Nystatin for

the days he is not taking Diflucan (4 tsp Nystatin per day at that).

But after all this we still can't seem to get the yeast and bacteria

under control. Every IgA he has had shows severly low even with

probiotics....

Anyway, at our DAN! appointment on Friday we talked about adding the

SCD to what we are doing now. Is anyone GFCF and SCD? Is that

possible? My son has benefited so much from going GFCF we don't want

to add it back in. Also we tested with milk and he broke out in the

hives.

What are common snacks that your children eat? My son will only eat

foods with a bread texture even when going GFCF. He won't eat squash

but if you batter it in potato flour and fry it in canola oil he'll

eat it. Do I need to be prepared to force feed my son? I'm in the

process of finishing " Breaking the Vicious Cycle " and cleaning out

our cabinets. I looked at our GFCF foods and most everything

contains anywhere from 40-136g of carbs per cup!

Thanks! Crystal

Crystal,

Welcome to the list.

First off, I would like to recommend that you read the whole pecanbread.com

website after you finish reading Elaine's book.

The pecanbread.com website was created for parents just starting SCD with

their children. There is a lot of information on there to help you get started,

including how to implement the diet casein free. (SCD is gluten free already.)

There are a lot of recipes on pecanbread.com to help you get started as well.

Look especially at the chicken pancakes, banana pancakes and sneaky

veggie pancakes since you mentioned that your son prefers foods that are

bread-like.

Thanks Jody! I was just reading through the auto-emails that it

sends out when you join the group. I has just read the part that

said " before you post familiarize yourself with BTVC book and

pecanbread.com " LOL. Sorry i didn't read that before I posted! :-)

Thanks again! Going to pecanbread.com now!
