Re: Need crunchy, cracker-like food that is SCD and LOD

[Guest guest]

I don't know which foods are high oxylate, so please excuse me if I

suggest something inappropriate. Cheese can become crunchy when

melted and makes a good cracker. Then there's the carrot chips and

other vegetable chips and somebody bakes mushrooms and they become

crunchy. Do a search of the list for " mushrooms " if you're

interested. I thought I saved the idea, but can't find it now.

Carrot curls, squash chips, beet chips, zucchini chips.

My son has been through extensive feeding therapy, it has helped quite

a bit. He now tolerates and eats all textures, swallows pills and

capsules, etc. Hang in there!

If you ever need tips on good feeding therapies and programs, email

me. We have benefited from a terrific ABA feeding program.

Thanks for all that replied.

Carrots, many squashes and beet will not work since they are medium

or high oxalate and my daughter cannot tolerate it. She is still

casein free so no cheese either, but I will try that some time later

when she gets better. I will definitely check out the mushrooms and

zucchini chips.

Someone wrote that oxalate issues and phenol issues will go away if

you follow SCD religiously and suggested to continue giving all these

food on rotation. I sure hope these issues go away soon and we do

follow SCD strictly. However, my daughter reacts to oxalate food the

moment she ate it. She had nose bleed when she ate beets. She was

terribly sick on SCD Intro Diet because of the carrots in the chicken

soup. She has been on SCD for 5 months and her digestion is not

healed yet. She actually got worse AFTER she began SCD UNTIL we

realised that she could not tolerate high oxalate food and phenolic

food and removed those while keeping strictly SCD.

Yes, I think Elaine's work is great and SCD heals. But there are kids

or grown-ups who may have issues that need some extra care before the

healing takes place.

Hi everyone,

correct me if I'm wrong, but I read a while ago somewhere that if you have a

ASD child, which I do, they usually have yeast, fungus, bacterial, viral,

etc... issues. Mushroom, being pure fungus, would just feed their problems,

wouldn't they? I've seen a few times now, mushroom recipes posted. I've been

staying away frim mushrooms, because they feed yeast- do you know something

about mushrooms that I don't??

Thanks.

I agree. I'm currently reading another SCD book 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome'

by Dr.Natasha -McBride, ISBN # 0-9548520-0-1... you can get it at the

healing crow website.

It is likely to have more info to help a more sensitive little one negotiate

SCD.

As my son's liver and kidneys have healed, and his intestines with SCD, enzymes

and targeted supplementation, his metals have come down and his tolerance for

phenols has increased. We have been on the diet for 19 months. By reducing the

high phenol foods, I believe we helped give the body a bit of a break, similar

to what intro diet does for the gut. If you are struggling processing phenols,

backing off awhile healing may be a useful tool for some. We still do not eat

much in the way of nut products, a handful of sprouted nuts here or there, or

nut butter, these are considered special treats. I do not believe eating a diet

very high in nuts is any better than eating a diet high in grains. Nevertheless,

we have been able to adapt SCD to our issues, in quite a few ways, and have been

healing from it.

In my mind locating the freshest quality milk, meat and produce is every bit

as essential to this diet. For us, making the diet most effective included

sleuthing around for our hidden problems, researching and forming a strategy for

dealing with them. I believe there are a number of techniques out there, within

SCD guidelines that can be utilized for healing and introduction of foods.

Good luck with the oxalate issues. Some people report success by limiting

them, and after a period of time, reintroduction slowly of foods after a period

of enzyme tweaking and taking a bit of lemon water after eating. Just a

suggestion, there is no one way for all.
