Any other meat less, protein ideas that do NOT involve scrambling or frying an egg...he won't eat them. It is the only thing he rejects completely. I can't eat meat in the morning and eggs don't hold me long enough, so I make a smoothie with a banana (1 1/2 if it's a small one), a heaping spoonful of almond butter, a generous amount of yogurt, and a drizzle of honey. Oh, and VCO. It holds me till lunch, which is saying something, and I think it's pretty tasty =) Pour Dieu, pour terre,Alyssa 15UC April 2008, diagnosed Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)No meds except for the stupid iron pill I have to take that is SO illegal

Thanks Alyssa, if only he could have nut butter and yogurt...because that sounds yummy.

We will be doing yogurt soon, I am hesitant due to being about 99% sure all my boys and husband are lactose intolerant. I know the fermenting gets rid of the lactose but that beast wreaks havoc on them and I am AFRAID of it. Silly, I know. Not even logical.

Did you find any winners in your "one-pot meal" quest?

I start every day w/ a yogurt based smoothie w/ some combination of fruit

(banana, frozen strawberries, blueberries, etc..). I am very protein-dependent

so add in walnuts. Also tried adding powdered eggs. I was grossed out about

adding regular eggs but less so w/ the powder because it's pasteurized (shelf

life is almost infinite btw). That tasted ok but wasn't great, so I had an

epiphany and stopped using the powdered egg to jack up the protein and started

using almond flower. That I like a lot - tastes good and adds some texture to

the shake that I like. My wife tried them and likes them smoother so adjust

almond flour to personal preference. Also found adding a little unsweet coconut

to each is good and coconut has benefits for IBS. Yogurt is great - hopefully

yours will agree. Good luck. Ben

> Hey everybody,

(btw, that grosses me out entirely, but whatever) My oldest needs a quick

breakfast he will devour full of protein or he gets all weird and low blood

sugary at school Protein is the KEY for him but he hates eggs and meat for

EVERY meal in the quantities he eats is expensive to the point of absurdity.

What do you think about a raw fresh organic high quality freshly washed egg (or

two) in a smoothie? He is only 7 and only 4 months into the diet. We are stage

2ish with him and no yogurt yet, he has ASD. Any other meat less, protein ideas

that do NOT involve scrambling or frying an egg...he won't eat them. It is the

only thing he rejects completely.

Hey Chrissy..

So like the 411 on eggs.

I would never eat raw eggs from the super market. NEVER! Only reputable local

pasture raised eggs from my local farmer. This also has immune building

properties as raw eggs can help introduce the body to local bacteria etc.. kind

of like what honey does for people.

Here in NY State the eggs are washed in every Farmers Market due to the law- not

sure about the rest of the country. But in actuality the unwashed egg is what

preserves eggs to stay fresh. Farmers (my husbands family in Israel still do

this) don't even refridge their eggs and leave on their enclosed porch. They

usually wash before usage although some don't even do this.

I eat raw eggs now every day! Pretty amazing considering I couldn't even

tolerate a soft boiled egg begining the diet- actually the soft boiled egg is

what gave me massive amounts of D (I was going to the loo between 20-50 times a

day)

My Smoothie consists of;

Juiced blueberries, parsley and lime that I strain really well

Coconut oil

a micro pinch of Sea Salt

Raw eggs

Dripped got yogurt

Lately I have been throwing in an Avocado too.

Yum!

But.. this is something that should be eaten immediately and not packaged for

the day.

Maybe try adding egg yolk to broth first to see if he tolerates that as

personally I had to work up to raw eggs.

I used GAPS intro as a guide to work up to it!

Please note: I followed GAPS ideas but never incorporated anything illegal!!

They have some illegals tweaks..

HTH,

Okay, a couple of things...first, I was clearly too tired to be posting because I forgot to say my kids are not yet eating yogurt and the kid in question is not eating nut butters or flours...they make him act squirrelly and kind of angry, along with a tummy ache. I saw this reaction on GFCF too, I am hoping it is a matter of healing and he will get past it.

Clearly the time for learning how to make yogurt is drawing near. My kids and husband are all lactose intolerant (most kids with ASD you would say the casein is the problem but it is a ny come lately to our party...I think undiagnosed lactose intolerance started all of this rolling) and I *know* that the lactose is not in the yogurt but once bitten, twice shy, so to speak. Yogurt scares me. Especially since my son ASD is in school now and every tweak has the potential to give him VERY rough days at school, which he is always upset by. No more pecan brownies, for example, they resulted in yelling at his teacher and knocking a book out of her hand...unprecedented behavior for him. He is normally sweet and quiet!! I am worried that the trial period of yogurt will put him in a tailspin of brain fog and confusion...that is what we dealt with before I pulled all dairy for GFCF. The change was almost

instantaneous...within hours he was more alert, more talkative. Amazing.

Okay, this is way too long.

I understand that you don't want to mix things up right now and like cause a

I don't really know when a good time it is to intro something like yogurt.. I

always have a bad reaction intro'ing probiotics.. It gets easier on some levels

but still I react. It's never is a good time. I have to pre-plan that I have

supplies at home, food in the freezer.. stuff on my DVR LOL.

With that said, I think there are plenty of things you can do without dairy and

nuts for a smoothie.

Why don't you type out what he is eating?? Marilyn taught me the concept of

savory smoothies. That might be a way to go?

Is this something he needs to take to school or can he eat this at home?

We'll all figure it out or at least try to give you some suggestions!

You are the hard boiled egg whisperer, Marilyn. I would NEVER think that would work or taste...well, not disgusting. Eggs in a smoothie is an odd idea to begin with, IMO. Welcome to the adventure of SCD, right??

Are there foods that have protein OTHER than meat, eggs, yogurt (not doing that yet), nuts (not tolerating) and beans (not doing that yet, of course)? I was hoping maybe something esoteric as a high protein source because I am iffy about giving a seven year old raw eggs every day, especially after Jodi's post about NEVER a supermarket raw egg and so on. I'm afraid that the farmer's market has never seen my face, with my 3 small children in tow...yikes.

Gotta run, kids calling..

Jodi, Thank you so much. We are in the recommended range of when to start yogurt, per pecanbread, but I am hesitating anyway.

This is what he is eating that I KNOW is okay...

pineapple juice

purple grape juice

homemade jello

chicken (thighs, whole, breasts)

beef (stew meat, flank steak, ground)

pork (tenderloin, chops, ground, legal prosciutto)

well cooked peas

well cooked green beans

well cooked carrots

honey (minimal)

very ripe bananas (minimal, less than every other day)

frozen pureed peaches

legal canned pears

cooked apples

coconut oil

olive oil

safflower oil

garlic

I think eggs are okay but he avoids them and that might indicate an issue. They didn't show up on his allergy blood test but those things are kind of unreliable. I just introduced zucchini and he was wackadoodle last night, so the jury is still out on that. He doesn't get any nuts of any kind at this point, due to behavioral issues when having them. Hopefully he will heal past that problem. I am considering trying coconut flour and seeing if that is tolerated okay so he can have muffins and breads. I got the super fine Tropical Traditions flour...but I think I will wait a week or two to let his tummy rest from the pecan brownie upheaval. I am not sure about avocado...he always resists it and this often points to something that disagrees with him, he is not a picky eater.

Savory smoothies...I don't know how that would go over but I am willing to try anything.

Clearly I need to bite the yogurt bullet!!

LOL

Jodi, Thank you so much. We are in the recommended range of when to start yogurt, per pecanbread, but I am hesitating anyway.

This is what he is eating that I KNOW is okay...

pineapple juice

purple grape juice

homemade jello

chicken (thighs, whole, breasts)

beef (stew meat, flank steak, ground)

pork (tenderloin, chops, ground, legal prosciutto)

well cooked peas

well cooked green beans

well cooked carrots

honey (minimal)

very ripe bananas (minimal, less than every other day)

frozen pureed peaches

legal canned pears

cooked apples

coconut oil

olive oil

safflower oil

garlic

I think eggs are okay but he avoids them and that might indicate an issue. They didn't show up on his allergy blood test but those things are kind of unreliable. I just introduced zucchini and he was wackadoodle last night, so the jury is still out on that. He doesn't get any nuts of any kind at this point, due to behavioral issues when having them. Hopefully he will heal past that problem. I am considering trying coconut flour and seeing if that is tolerated okay so he can have muffins and breads. I got the super fine Tropical Traditions flour...but I think I will wait a week or two to let his tummy rest from the pecan brownie upheaval. I am not sure about avocado...he always resists it and this often points to something that disagrees with him, he is not a picky eater.

Savory smoothies...I don't know how that would go over but I am willing to try anything.

Clearly I need to bite the yogurt bullet!!

LOL

Chrissy..> Okay, a couple of things...first, I was clearly too tired to be posting because I forgot to say my kids are not yet eating yogurt and the kid in question is not eating nut butters or flours...they make him act squirrelly and kind of angry, along with a tummy ache.

Chrissy,

Does he eat fish?

Does it have to be a smoothie?

Your protein sources are almost nil when you eliminate meat nuts milk(yogurt) and eggs.

Have you tried blending the hard boiled egg and tasting it? I imagine it would give some nice thick texture to a runny drink.

He isn't doing almond flour anything?

Re: Protein packed breakfast smoothie?

You are the hard boiled egg whisperer, Marilyn. I would NEVER think that would work or taste...well, not disgusting. Eggs in a smoothie is an odd idea to begin with, IMO. Welcome to the adventure of SCD, right??

Are there foods that have protein OTHER than meat, eggs, yogurt (not doing that yet), nuts (not tolerating) and beans (not doing that yet, of course)? I was hoping maybe something esoteric as a high protein source because I am iffy about giving a seven year old raw eggs every day, especially after Jodi's post about NEVER a supermarket raw egg and so on. I'm afraid that the farmer's market has never seen my face, with my 3 small children in tow...yikes.

Gotta run, kids calling..

Chrissy

What do you think about a raw fresh organic high quality freshly washed egg (or two) in a smoothie?I've done it for myself.If you're worried about the raw egg issue, you can get pasteurized eggs, or, something else I have done -- is to hard boil the egg, and then blend it in.
