Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I am by no means an SCD veteran, but what about coconut flour? I have ordered a coconut cookbook in hopes of having baked goods for my 16 month old. He doesn't have a nut or egg allergy that I'm aware of, but it doesn't seem like good sense to introduce them to a young child who already has leaky gut issues. Hopefully, someone will have some good advice for us. a > > Hello, > > I am new to this group. I have two ASD kids 3 and 2 with allergies to > all nuts and eggs.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hi a, Unfortunately the kids both came up allergic to coconut as well. I did find a source for cassava flour and water chestnut flour at www.specialfoods.com today but boy, they are expensive! Our doctor suggested these two flours, but she said beware that the Special Foods Co. will try to get you to subscribe to its entire diet and you'll end up spending an insane amount of money. I am probably going to give a few of these flours a try because I am desperate for baked goods for the kids. Might be another option for you to try. Best wishes... > > > > Hello, > > > > I am new to this group. I have two ASD kids 3 and 2 with allergies > to > > all nuts and eggs.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hi , Sorry, but cassava (also known as yucca or manioc) is a starchy root vegetable which is SCD illegal. Although water chestnuts are legal they are not for use at the beginning of the diet. They are fibrous and are more difficult to digest. What type of allergy testing was this? Are these anaphylactic allergic reactions? If they are food sensitivities many have found that food sensitivities tend to fade as the gut heals. You may be able to make some vegetable flour. I have done this with cooked carrots and squash. Sheila, SCD 59 mos, 22 yrs UC mom of Em and Dan > Unfortunately the kids both came up allergic to coconut as well.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 I just want to make sure that everyone realizes that water chestnut flour and cassava flour are NOT allowed on SCD. For those with allergies to chicken eggs, sometimes duck eggs do not cause a reaction and can be used. Consider speaking to your child's doctor about it if the chicken egg allergy causes anaphylaxis.
