Re: Intro diet- , you can do it

[Guest guest]

,

I'm not an expert, but I've been at this for too long of a time. Your son is

addicted to those three foods... and I believe you'll see a big difference when

he's off them.

You can do this ... He's four... pick a time if you can when it will just be

you and him,

maybe your husband can take the other kids away for a long weekend or

something , and you can take a few extra days off work... Intro is only 2-5

days, dieoff maybe longer.

get his favorite videos, books, have friends praying for you, prayer

list,etc... and pecanbread list help

Be prepared- stocked up on all the intro foods, cook ahead , freeze, etc .

If you don't want to go 'cold turkey' then you substitue the peanut butter for

other nut butters, the waffles for legal waffles and the cereal for legal

cereal/ trail mix, and ease int the into diet.

Either way don't let others undermine or talk you out a giving SCD a fair

try... get them out of the house, especially if your son is likely to act up and

enlist their help.

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.
