Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Hello everyone! My name is Toula and I'm the mum of Katerina 5(asd - mild) and Natasha 4(NT).We live in Australia and have been SCD since January this year.SCD is not very common in Australia, in fact on another yahoo group which I'm on for biomedical treatments in Autism I'm the only mum who's child is on SCD. The only Australian SCD group has only about 30 members in all of Australia and are only adults doing the diet.So you can imagine what a relief it was for me to discover the group! We are on the diet because Katerina's blood showed high levels of Homocysteine and the doctor recommended we try the diet to see if it makes a difference. To say it has been easy adjusting is an under statement!As we still also continue to be GF,WF,CF,DF,Corn free,Soya free and also have limited intake of certain fruits (salicilate issue) and can't have tomato. Our biggest issue is breakfast recipes.Apart from muffins and cakes I make (all pre made and frozen as I work full time and don't have time to make breakfast)I can't find other quick recipes so as to offer her a variety of things.As we know some kids get sick of the same thing everyday. Also I'm confused as to whether or not Banana's are allowed? I'm really glad to have found this group and appreciate your time. Thankyou in advance for answering my question.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Dear Toula, Not sure if I'll be much help with the breakfast ideas - apart from maybe doing some hard boiled eggs ahead of time, but wanted to let you know that I'm in Canberra and have been doing SCD since January also (take 2). Banana's are allowed as long as they are very ripe - with brown spots and no green on the ends. My son can't tolerate them at the moment but we keep trying every now and then. I'm also on the other Yahoo group you mentioned, (although not a regular poster) so you're not alone on your SCD journey. Dr V suggested we do SCD, just wondering if he's your DAN as well? Take care, Sharon (mum to Sam, 4, Developmental delays, SCD 10 weeks). New to this group! Hello everyone!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 > Our biggest issue is breakfast recipes.Apart from muffins and cakes Hi, Toula, Welcome! Try making some pancakes ahead, too, like Banana Pancakes from Breaking the Vicious Cycle and check out the recipes and recipe links at www.pecanbread.com. For breakfast in our house, besides the bread I make ahead, we buy legal goat cheddar and just melt it on a plate in the microwave because my son loves it that way. Now that is quick! , mom to , age 10, ASD, SCD 23 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
