Refusing all Veggies

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

This is nothing new, but my 4 y.o. son, recently started on the SCD

diet (for the 4th time - but it's going better) gags at the suggestion

he eat vegetables. I would really like to expand the foods he eats.

Our current SCD repertoire consists of the following: chicken, beef,

eggs, applegate turkey bologna, fruits, bean pancakes (yes, soaked),

baked nut goodies. That's it. His GFCF diet was equally limiting,

although deceptive due to the variety of GFCF cookies/crackers he

consumed. Any suggestions on broadening palate? He gags at new

foods.

Four days into the diet is WAY too soon for him to be eating bean

pancakes (even with the beans being soaked). It is also too early for

nut baked goods.

If you want to see the best results from the diet, start with the

intro diet. I realize that it is probably easier said than done.

Most of the moms on the list have been there with their kids.

Hopefully, they will chime in and let you know how they survived.

Beans should only be introduced about 6 months into the diet or after

symptoms have disappeared. They are not to be eaten early in the

diet. You will not see the results you are hoping for if you leave

them in his diet.

Rather than bean pancakes, look into making sneaky veggie pancakes,

banana pancakes, chicken pancakes, the souffle bread, etc. All of

those things will come out like bread, but will be easy to digest.

As for the veggies, try hiding them in his hamburgers. Most moms have

been successful with this " trick " .

Cook the veggies, then puree. Then add to raw meat and process in a

food processor until the veggies are mixed in. After you cook the

meat, you won't be able to see the veggies anymore. You may have to

start with a small amount of veggies and work your way up to more.

The burgers will still hold together with about half as many veggies

as meat. Beyond that point, it gets more difficult to keep the meat

together in a patty.
