The highest hurdle yet!!! Low-protein SCD

[Guest guest]

We started the SCD diet as a family 2 months ago to assist my 3 yo's

gut in healing. For some reason, I thought a supplement holiday was

in order and took my 2 *targets* off their daily regime for one week.

As a result, my 5 yo's stuttering resumed with a vengeance, staying

bad even after re-introducing the supplements.

We follow Dr. Amy Yasko's protocol and have had excellent results. I

posted on her Autism Answer website and some of the Moms shared that

high protein could be causing the stuttering. I limited the protein

and did some *ammonia protocol* treatment and now the stuttering is

gone again, for which we are all thankful!!

Now I'm wondering how to keep going on SCD while limiting protein. It

seems most every meal I make has been centered around protein. The

muffins are very high protein, any meat or cheese is high protein,

even the yoghurt is protein, right?

I have 4 SCD recipe books and many of the recipes involve eggs, DCCC,

cheese, meats, etc. How the heck do you create a meal plan for a

family -- long term while limiting protein to once a day???

My little guy (3 yo) still needs cooked fruits and veggies -- I'm

running out of ideas here.

I've been over many, many hurdles the past 2 years and this one seems

higher than the rest. I could use some great ideas, ladies! Feel free

to e-mail me personally as well.

Thank you,

Create a free account at fitday.com.

Then you can play around with different combinations of foods to get

the ratios that you think are appropriate for your family.

We do not eat nuts on a daily basis. I reserve baked goods for

special occasions. This is how I was raised and how I was raising my

own kids even before SCD.

So, the first thing would be to sit down and use fitday.com and try to

come up with some menus. With fitday.com you can go forward and

backward through the calendar, using separate days to work out

different menus.

Avocados and olives contain very little protein but lots of

calories. Try to get olives that do not contain preservatives;the

preservatives contain too much iron. Santa Barbara Olives (plain

ones)are great. I agree Fitday.com is a great resource!

Graham eats an avocado a day to help with fat intake. We use

avocado instead of meat at one meal a day for him. I use coconut

flour for baking instead of nut flours, and make a squash casserole

with TONS of ghee in it to also increase fat. A typical day for

Graham is as follows:

Breakfast: banana, squash casserole, and apple cide

Lunch: Applegate hot dog, green beans, carrots, and a fruit

Dinner: avocado, applesauce, fried eggplant with sauce

Pretty boring, but it is low protein!

My son is not on a low-protein diet, but he cannot eat fruits, nuts,

eggs, legumes or dairy, so his only foods are vegetables and meats.

In order to keep his diet from being too meat-heavy, he gets a lot

of his calories from oils and vegetables. It means that his meals

are large and frequent - 5 30-minute meals a day with large servings

of two or three vegetables. He simply has to eat a lot to get enough

calories this way.
