Very concerned - need some guidance

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone;

Our whole family has been dairy-free SCD for 10 days.

I am very concerned about my 2 yo daughter. She has not eaten anything but

sneaky veggie pancakes (squash is the veg) and pear sauce for the past 3 days.

I have tried everything I can think of to get her to eat other foods. If I

approach her with a bowl of soup she immediately has a fit and refuses to eat

anything.

Have tried to sneak avocado in her pear sauce and pancake and she refuses to eat

it.

She was underweight when we started this diet. She now looks skeletal and has

dark circles under her eyes. It's painful for me to look at her - very

upsetting.

I would like to continue with dairy free SCD for our entire family but I wonder

if I'm doing the right thing.

My eldest daughter is severely autistic and needs dairy free SCD. I am pregnant

and have been advised that this diet is the best thing for my developing baby

(although I've lost 4 pounds this past week). My husband has always had issues

with wheat and dairy and probably needs this diet. My 2 yo is probably high end

ASD - considering her immediate family history she would probably benefit from

this diet.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm physically and emotional exhausted

and ready to throw in the towel :-(
