Hi Liz, When I was first diagnosed with CD my reaction was

anger. I was pissed! I felt my body had betrayed me. So, I can relate to your

sons’ anger. He’ll perhaps be able to let that anger go as he

progresses on the SCD. I have since learned that my body did not betray me, it

was the Standard American Diet which did me in along with my lousy

choices for food. Mostly convenience foods which, in the end, turned out to be

not so convenient in the long run. Also, giving up eating sugar is difficult.

Sugar is very addictive and I recall dreaming about eating sugary foods when I

first started the diet.

I’m guessing your son is in shock about his disease and

having to deal with it through diet. It’s a huge adjustment and carrying

your whole family along can also be stressful. It’s like being forced

into a whole new paradigm. On the bright side, your son will heal and go on to

live a “normal” life, and your family will be healthier than they

have ever been. For me personally, the SCD saved my life and I am eternally

grateful for that! Hang in there – it gets easier as you go along.

Interesting how your tastes change. I eat a whole lot more now than I did

before going gluten free and having to find new foods to eat. I think my son

will get there too. He's still in denial a bit and maybe a bit angry too. He

already wasn't happy about being gluten free and this is a lot harder.

Another thing that is delicious when he's a bit further

along is carrot chips - from the recipe at

pecanbread - it says there that it is advanced, but I've never

understood why as it is just carrots fried in oil with salt. (I don't

deep fry them myself - just fry them regularly.)

Start with a 5 lb bag though (as long as you have a food

processor and a slicing blade) - as they shrink a lot and they

go really quickly once you pass them around the table.

The dinner and dining out that you describe is the way I eat now, and it's so much better.There are a lot of good SCD candy recipes, though.  Maybe he could have some of that in moderation.

 

Thanks Carol. He is a bit angry and I have to admit, I am too. The realy frustrating thing is that we have never eaten the Standard American Diet. No fast food (3 of us are gluten free), I make homemade everything and have always been very careful about how much sugar all my kids were eating. My kids consider me a health food fanatic. A " normal " dinner for us in the summer is grilled chicken or salmon with 5-6 large red, yellow and orange peppers or zucchini (grilled also), a pot of rice and a bowl of salad. Dessert might be homemade cookies or a berry cobbler, only sweetened as much as needed. Eating out normally means going to the health food store for salad bar in their deli or someplace like Chipotle, where we would all get chicken or steak salads or burrito bols, water to drink - no pop.

Thanks for letting me vent! I had honestly thought I was protecting my family from the typical American diseases by being so careful with what I fed them. Obviously, it wasn't enough!Well don't beat yourself up about it - very possibly he had a genetic propensityfor it - in which case, he's lacking a peacekeeper protein in his intestinal wallthat is supposed to keep the pathogenic bacteria from penetrating the cell walls; and this breaching of the integrity of the intestinal wall is what causes the body to respond with the auto-immune response and the inflammation.So part of the bodies natural regulatory system is non functional. You could not have known this as the research for thisis brand new as of a few years back:http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/84651.phpThe key abnormality is a deficiency of the T-bet protein in "dendritic" cells -- white blood cells that capture identifying antigens of foreign microbes and activate the immune defenses. T-bet, discovered in 2000 in Glimcher's laboratory, is a "master regulator gene," a transcription factor that orchestrates a pro-inflammatory response of the immune system. T-bet had been found to play a role in the body's handling of infectious microbes and cancer cells and has been implicated in rheumatoid arthritisand asthma, but the discovery of its pivotal part in the innate immune system in inflammatory bowel disease came as a total surprise. "We have identified a new molecular player, T-bet, and when it's missing, there is spontaneous onset of the disease in the mice," said Glimcher. "The importance of this study is that we now have a novel model for ulcerative colitis: The disease appears in 100 percent of the animals and looks just like the human disease." If some people develop ulcerative colitis because of T-bet DNA variation or polymorphisms, it may be because of an inherited variation in the DNA affecting the T-bet gene. The researchers are following up this lead. Here's the video:http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/multimedia/video/2007/LaurieGlimcher/Mara

I don’t recall if you said you (he) can have almond flour yet. If

so, pancakes made with almond flour, egg, a little yogurt, cinnamon, and maybe

a touch of baking soda and salt are quite good; eat them with butter and honey.

I have to admit, I’m not keen on the “pancakes” with egg and banana only, either.

Nor with ketchup made only from reduced tomato juice.

" Are you making the banana and egg and

vanilla pancakes?

Just mash up a banana and an egg and a few drips of vanilla.

Fried in butter or coconut oil. And a little honey dribbled

on them. "

Yeah, I made them twice and I could barely gag them down. My other kids tried

them first and when he saw their reactions wouldn't even taste one. The second

time, my husband tried one, screamed about how stupid this diet is and how

disgusting it was and then there was no way my son would try one. (I have since

given my husband suggestions on how to deal with food he doesn't like and to

either get over it or not do the diet with us.)

Alyssa,

okay...here goes. Some of these are adapted and modified from other places, some are mostly trial and error by me.

Carrot Pancakes

1 1/2 cup pureed carrot (squeeze the water out as much as you can, I dump it into a very

fine strainer and then pick up handfuls and squeeze the water

a separate bowl, SCD is so high maintenance!! )

4 tsp. honey (this is to taste)

4 eggs

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

vanilla optional and to taste (mine is VERY strong so I can't use that as a guide...maybe

a tsp?)

Whisk eggs, salt, honey, cinnamon and vanilla, if using

Stir in carrot until well combined

Fry at 275 - 300 degrees on griddle

Make them only about 3 inches across max or you will have trouble flipping them, just like banana/egg pancakes.

I use coconut oil to fry them...the flavor is yum and I like the antifungal effect. My kids have lots of mild die off instead of big horrible die off and I am thinking maybe it is because I have used coconut oil since the day after intro....but who knows, right?

Carrot Muffins

This is an egg based, not a flour based muffin, so it is very moist but my kids loved them (we are all about pecan muffins now ) and they are an easy snack.

2 cups pureed carrot (I also used pureed squash and strawberries at different times)

4 eggs

2 1/2 tsp. coconut oil

1 tsp vanilla (again, just a guess)

1 tsp. cinnamon

4 tsp. honey (this recipe was used early on when I was careful about honey, now we pile

it on, so you might want to adjust this)

1/4 tsp. salt

Whisk eggs, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and honey.

Stir in carrots

Fill cupcake liners nearly to the top. It doesn't rise much, no baking soda. If you aren't using the liners from WF called If You Care you should be. They are parchment paper and

NEVER stick to the muffins...they are great and cheap, 1.39 for a box of 60 here in Indianapolis.

Bake at 400 for 30 mins

Herbed Carrots (this is something I made pre-SCD)

Peel carrots...I make 5 lbs at a time b/c they are yummy and they keep for 2 or 3 days at least in the fridge. This is one of a handful of things that keeps my husband sane on this diet.

Slice carrot lengthwise and then into chunks, but leave the skinny ends whole or they will burn. Alternately you could just boil the skinny ends up and use for puree or ginger carrots, I often do this.

Toss carrots on a baking sheet (not the kind without sides) with oil ( I prefer the flavor of olive for this ), kosher salt, pepper and herbs (we like oregano and/or marjoram ) I just eye it, no measuring. If they are spread out evenly and you go light on the salt and get a little of the herbs on each carrot you are good.

Roast at 425 for about 20-30 minutes depending on how done you like them. They will start to caramelize and become sweet...yum. I like mine almost burned, but fork tender is all you HAVE to aim for, per SCD, since you aren't able to eat raw veggies yet.

Honey-Ginger Carrots

Peel and cut carrots into chunks and boil in enough water to cover plus an inch for about 30 minutes with half a handful of salt.

Drain and put to the side.

Now, if you can have butter (we can't) this is where you melt butter (amount based on how many carrots you have...a lb. of carrots = maybe a tbsp. of butter? Hard to remember, haven't used it in almost a year! lol) If butter is a no go then you can do ghee, I usually just do a tiny bit of coconut oil, enough to keep honey from burning and b/c I use it with everything.. Add a major drizzle of honey (I don't measure, I count as I squeeze the bottle, it is crazy, I know.) and about a 1/4 tsp of ginger. This is all to taste, you will have to try and see how much you want. We LOVE honey and ginger around here.

Stir it up over low heat and throw carrots in to get covered with "sauce" and to warm back up.

Enjoy!
