Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 My son 3.5 eats nicely a repetoire of plain items (i.e.chicken, salmon, hamburger, turkey, squash, avocado, carrots, legal vegies, loves banana and muffins). He's df. My current problem is that as he gets older he'll want more variety and I'll need to come up with more choices and exciting substitutes for treats given out in school. He's the only one in my family eating SCD. Until now it was easier because he was so small and didn't need large portions. (The freezing thing never worked) I read some of these recipes and worry that if something doesn't work - there goes 10 eggs and that ever expensive almond flour. How did you people get past this? We are also having a hard time with potty training. I think the combination of both has me very anxious. It reminds me of the panic when we first started and found out all of the things he wouldn't be eating anymore.

I buy them in bags at Costco and they are half the price of almond flour. I also buy my eggs there and they cost half the price of supermarket eggs. Carol F.

Carolyn, I never make anything I'm not willing to eat myself, so the 10 eggs and the almond flour become my treat! When my son was a picky eater, I just kept putting a small amount on his plate from time to time and cheerfully asking him to try it---just one bite, then you can have....I would not do this every day. I must say it also helps for the child to see the other family members enjoying the food. And in the case of my son, he started becoming more adventurous about food just on his own at about 7 1/2 years old. Not sure what to tell you about the freezing. It definitely works for me; I bought a freezer and it helps a lot. It sounds to me like you need to congratulate yourself on the great job you're doing so far. Maybe that will help counteract the stress of the toilet-training! Hang in there, , mom to , age 10, ASD, SCD 21 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
