Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Forgot to add that he doesn't seem to have any constipation OR diarrhea, but does frequently complain that his tummy hurts. Before I'd heard of the probable gastrointestinal problems with autistics I thought his tummy hurting was because he was hungry since he didn't seem to eat ANYTHING! But now, I'm thinking it's something different. Thanks again for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I am just a mom here, but we discovered that the very things that our kids where craving they had a problem with that was related to allergy, and intolerance...it is strange that we would want to eat what makes us sick...but this is how it works for some of us...we get stuck wanting it all the time. The SCD is helping us all...in just 10 days all these strange " food jags " and addictions had left us. Antoinette (day 24 entire family, Celiac Disease, Gluten Sensitivity/allergy/multiple allergies/add, ADHD, ASD and more) Intro diet Okay. I have been hesitating to post this for fear that it has been asked and addressed a million times but... My son, Wesley (4 yo, PDD-NOS)only eats waffles and peanut butter and cereal. (haven't started SCD yet) He simply WILL NOT eat anything else no matter what I do. He is so strong willed! If I look at the intro diet: Homemade Chicken Soup (my son WILL NOT eat it...haven't tried yet but I KNOW he won't.) Hamburgers (he won't eat it) Cheesecake he MIGHT eat Jello he surprisingly didn't eat...I have made it recently He won't even drink the juice! Which surprised me because he drinks juice boxes at school...that seems to be getting a little better, though. Am I supposed to only serve him these foods and if he doesn't eat, then he'll just be hungry until he gives up and tries something on this list? Or should I begin with an SCD waffle recipe instead since he is more likely to eat that? Any help would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Dear , Welcome to the list! It is too early to speak of what your child will eat and will not eat. Tummy hurting, regardless of bowel movements, can be indicative of H. pylori infection, and many numerous yeast and other infections. This diet aims to starve out those organisms making them die. Those organisms have as much sway with what your child will and will not eat as anything. What your child won't eat is what those infections won't eat. You say your son is strong willed, but it is those pathogens that are strong willed. They want their food sources. Waffles, ceareal and peanut butter are directly feeding them. Not just those items, but the list of ingredients, from sugar to corn syrup, wheat to rice. With peanut butter, it has high aflatoxins, a by product of a fungus that grows on peanuts, doesn't matter organic or conventionally, it is the same. These aflatoxins are contributing to an acidic body environment, that the pathogenic organisms need to survive and proliferate. At age 1, my son Hunter quit eating all foods but milk. I took him off milk, to put him on rice milk, soy milk, what have you. Even though I was always careful to home-make things when my kids were little, they still would barely eat a thing. Their diet was so limited, it was not even funny. Hunter went, from ages 1 to 2, not eating anything, but milk like beverages and juice. Beginning SCD is a rough ride. Those pathogens will start to die off. Some people may read my posts, and think I must be lucky to have children to eat all sorts of foods now. And they do have allergies and sensitivities, but many sensitivities through SCD and enzymes have blown over. But nevertheless, this is not true. I have cried and struggled for years to get any food in my babes mouths. If your child was a cigarrette smoker, what would happen if you took away their cigarrettes? Would you give them back when the withdrawal gets intense? It may be hard to believe, but this food is an addiction, an addiction not only to your son, but an addiction to living with leaky gut and overgrowing bacteria. Not all people show much in the way of bowel problems. My son Ben had very bad leaky gut. My son Hunter, prior to SCD, I swore in movements looked fine, so did the doctors, but then, after the improvement on SCD, I started to learn more about what reduced bile flow, overgrowing yeast, fatty malabsorption looked like. This is all a science within itself. The whole thing was a learning experience. The fact that your son is experiencing the pain of fermenting food, means he has malabsorption. Those pathogenic organisms in stomach and gut are munching the food, before your son gets the nutition! Plus, with leaky gut, since the populations of good flora are over-run, the mucosal lining insufficient to support them, food is passing right through the intestinal wall, in unbroken peptides, unabsorbable, unavailable, and poisoning the system worse. It is best advice to follow the intro diet when starting, and very slowly introduce one food at a time. First round SCD, we did as you did, introducing a few nut goods right away. Second time, we were more successful, going intro all the way and slowing down introduction process. It was so hard, I disliked it so. But now, since my children have receptive language, are speaking, bonding, and are recovering, making great leaps and strides developmentally, getting healthier, the whole 9 yards, life is getting a heck of alot easier. IE It is worth it, save yourself headache later on, do it right, hold onto yourself and son while going through intro, and you will have a pay off. Keep a food journal through all this. It is possible for you to figure out allergies and sensitivities through this method, patterns to foods that may indicate phenol problems, not being able to break down oxalates, choline/liver problems, and what foods directly stir up those organisms, ie pathogenic gut feeders.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks for the encouragement, Gertrude, et al. I posted my latest question as a new topic by mistake, so here it is again: Yes, I've noticed that, too. Wesley's cravings are so totally on the forbidden foods list that it's obviously the " addiction " thing going on. But what do you DO about feeding the intro foods? Do you only offer those foods and when they get hungry enough, they'll eat them? To the exclusion of ANY of their usual fare? Do you offer them some of the foods on the legal list GRADUALLY while they are still consuming their illegals? Do you FORCE them to only eat the legal stuff? I'm at a total loss here...please help.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I hate to be a nudge, but has anyone tried making the chicken soup recipe in the crockpot? 'Twould be a lovely time saver!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 >> > but has anyone tried making the chicken soup > recipe in the crockpot? > I always make my chicken soup in the crock pot. Day 1- I place whole thawed chicken in crock pot and cook. We eat it for dinner. After dinner I put the carcass and all left overs in the fridge. Day 2-I place carcass and meat into crock pot. I add onion, celery, carrots, salt, pepper, 2-3 bay leaves and lots of water. I set it on low and let it cook all day. 8 or 9AM to 6 or 7 PM. For the intro phase I think you are to leave out salt & pepper?? and either remove veggies after soup is done or puree them. Don't forget to remove the bones! For my family we were always able to eat the veggies without doing the puree. I think it was because they cooked so long. I also use the crock pot to make almost all the meats we eat. It seems to keep them moist and tender by cooking so long. As for the intro diet question. Here at our house we put the whole family on SCD and did it cold turkey. We literally emptied our home of all foods that were illegal and started over. I think the start up is rough for everyone. The kids protest the loss of their favorites. The grown ups are cranky as they go through detox and withdrawl. You feel like you cook endlessly. But it's worth it. My sons both refused to eat for a day or two. Then they would each eat only one or two foods. That lasted for a long time. Gradually, and I mean gradually, they started to try new ones. We started with seeing a new food on the plate. Then they had to lick it. Then put it into their mouth. Then try to eat it. Go very slowly. Kids don't really mind eating the same thing over and over. We are 6 months in and still going really slowly. Hope this helps. Jen, SCD family, Ben 7 ASD, 3 ASD > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I would say that the crock pot is the easier way.you could probably even just throw the chicken in frozen. I have to say, I made the soup with skins on and it was a lot harder to separate the skins and bones versus just doing skinless with bones. You have to separate the onions and carrots (throw away the onions and puree the carrots to put in the broth). My son LOVES the soup.and has NEVER eaten soup in his life. I made a big patch and froze a whole bunch of it. My kids go through a huge tub every night, lol.

You have to separate the onions and carrots (throw away the onions and puree the carrots to put in the broth). My son LOVES the soup.and has NEVER eaten soup in his life. I made a big patch and froze a whole bunch of it. My kids go through a huge tub every night, lol.

'Twould be a lovely time saver! And easy too! I have Wesley, a 2 yo daughter, Phoebe, and am expecting in July, so the easier, the better!

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 " With peanut butter, it has high aflatoxins, a by product of a fungus that grows on peanuts, doesn't matter organic or conventionally, it is the same. " This is almost uniformly true, but Maranatha organic peanut butter doesn't have the aflatoxin problem. My son who is extremely sensitive to mold would never eat regular peanut butter. But one time I bought the Maranatha type and he tried it and liked it. The Maranatha brand doesn't have the aflatoxin. It is by far the BEST tasting peanut butter I've ever tried. No financial interest. We just really like it. Jody mom to -7 and -9 SCD 1/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 " The foods our son craved, and the ones we gave him most often, including yogurt, eggs, cottage cheese, gluten and casein, even some fruits, were off the charts on the IgG food intolerance test. " This is what happens with a leaky gut. Whatever the person eats the most, will " leak out " the most often because of being eaten more frequently. The " leaking " pieces will cause an immune response and then you get the high IgG response. But this doesn't mean that the person is allergic to the food in the true sense of the word. Those foods should be able to be reintroduced once healing has taken place. Just a bit of hope for those of you who are dealing with multiple food sensitivities.
