SCD will be great for you, IMO. Our DS3 has more allergies than your

daughter, including eggs. 8 weeks into SCD, he only eats about 6 or 7

fruits and veggies in addition to his meat, but he's healthier than he's

ever been. Rice definitely isn't SCD legal. We just fix very plain,

simple meals. It is hard, but I believe that it's worth it. :-)

Oh, one of the things that my kids love is the way I fix carrots. I

cook them until they are quite mushy, then add ghee, honey and cinnamon

to them. Those are kind of our staple carb right now - the other carbs

get rotated out.

Steph, Aspie, IgA allergy to casein

DH, IgA to casein (mostly SCD)

DS8, Aspie, DermHerp Celiac, IgA to casein

DS3, Celiac, IgA to casein & eggs, plus other food allergies
