New to SCD, son has nut allergies, what flours can I use?

[Guest guest]

Hello there, my 4 yr old son has been gfcf for two years now, and in

the past few months salicylate free. After his colonoscopy in sep, it

indicated he still had gut inflammation, even after two years of gfcf.

AND, he is now being treated for elevated yeast. It was suggested to

me that my son should try SCD (in addition to gluten free, casein free,

and salicylate free). BUT, the issue I have is that he is allergic to

nuts (highly to peanuts). So, since it first appears to me that the

flours used on this diet are primarily nut flours, what flours CAN I

use for my son?

ALSO, isn't block cheese used on this diet? Is that considered a

product with casein in it or low in it?

Someone please advice as it's so much appreciated.

Welcome ! Budsmom,

I have been doing the nut/peanut free version of the SCD with my kids

for a while now. After many months my son is tolerating some pecan

butter now.(he is highly allergic to peanuts and most other nuts).

In time your son may tolerate some nuts too.

Until then, here is some ideas for baking...

Make sure you check out the recipes at http://www.pecanbread.com/,

this will give you lots of ideas for nut-free recipes. I use a lot

of ground chicken/turkey for baking cupcakes, pancakes, cookies

etc...pecanbread.com has some of these recipes.

Can he have eggs? If you can have eggs there is an

nutfree/dairyfree bread recipe in the files which can be used for

sandwiches.

Kind regards,

Hi Cathy, Thank you for your message. I never thought of using

ground chicken or turkey for baked goods! I look forward to reading

the recipes. My son is also allergic to egg yolks. He used to be

allergic to egg whites, but grew out of that and tested negative for

that recently.

My son's allergies and sensitivities have made it really challenging

when trying these diets.

Regards,
