Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 My kids are so bored. They don't like > baked goods (never have - texture issues) so muffins and banana breads > are not options for them. I've been making some legal hot cereal lately. Here's a post I saved from Sheila. If you don't do yogurt, maybe you can stir in applesauce. I peel, core and slice up a couple of apples and simmer in water until soft. Then I throw in some blanched almond flour (but any nut flour would work well) and let it simmer down until desired thickness. I allow it to cool slightly and add some yogurt (or nut yogurt/nut milk). Adding some cinnamon is nice. You could add honey but I find the apples make it pretty sweet.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Thanks for the Breaskfast tips. I just hate cooking some days. I have noticed in our kids that now that we are 2+ months out, they are no longer complaining as much. Our 4 year old son, has changed the most. He used to be a corn syrup potatoe junkey. Always was starving before SCD and was always craving this stuff. Prorbably becasue the bad gut guys where eating as much as he was, or at least 50% of all his callories. He use to have a ravenous appitite. ALWAYS STARVING TO DEATH...I never realized how real this was for him. This continued the first two months of SCD...but lately it is calming down. I think we have killed enough bad gut guys that he is now getting some of the food he is eating and thanks to SCD being monodisacharide the bad gut guys get to starve to death...the little buggers where starving my son and the poor kid couldn't digest all those starches and sugars so they just set in side his intestines fermenting! The 24 hour SCD goat yogurt with the casein rendered harmless has been a GOD send in breaking this vicious cycle. I use to fear casien like some of you guys. Stor bought yogurts always caused a casein reaction because they are not fermented for long. I Just dreaded the stuff...and will still not eat foods that I know contian casein. But you know, the yogurt is safe if it is just a " casein " issue because the protein is dentatured and can not cause allergy reaction, but can cause a die off reacion...but this is good...because it means the bad gut guys are dieing. We didn't do as well on SCD until we added this benifitual and much needed yogurt. Sincerely and to all Antoinette (4 year old Son : healing from a damaged gut/celiac/ADHD/rage attacks...sister 23 month old KiKI damaged injured gut/celiac/Autistic...all doing better!

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I understand the boredom issue, we are dealing with this too. If they eat pancakes, I'd experiment with several different flavors, this is a good way for hiding extra veggies. For breakfast, I make a few variations of different pancakes. I also just make quick sausage patties using ground pork, lamb or turkey using salt, pepper, sage and maybe a little honey. Sometimes I grate an apple and add it to them. They always have a banana while waiting for breakfast. I also usually cook up some frozen berries to go along with breakfast. For pancakes, they usually have " pumpkin pie " pancakes or apple pancakes. I have also even added banana and avocado for green pancakes. These recipes feed my two boys for one meal (about 8 pancakes). 1 cup pecan meal (or almond flour) 4 eggs 1/3 cup pureed cooked squash (or 2 apples shredded or one bananad and 1/2 avacado) 1/4 tsp vanilla 1/4 tsp baking soda cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger (or cinnamon only) the syrup is 1/2 honey 1/2 cider heated I also make " donuts " with a variation of the recipe (1 less egg, 1/2 the fruit, and 2 TBS honey) and pour it into well buttered donut pan and bake at 325 for about 18 minutes. These freeze well and are great when on the road. It will make six donuts. Becky mom to Noah (6, HFA) and (3, NT) SCD 2 months > Does anybody have a great breakfast option?

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I loved the advice that someone gave about this subject a couple of weeks ago. She said they don't have breakfast food or dinner food. We've started doing that occassionally. Especially if DD liked dinner. I make a plate from the left overs and pull it out in the morning. She doesn't seem to mind. Good luck. Breakfast does seem to be the hardest to adjust to. Colby SCD 2 months celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
