Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I know that the scdiet works!!! I have seen it work with my son. But he refuses to keep his hands in his own lunch. I just don't know what to do. But I need to do something. I have tried to encourage him with what we get to eat next as well as other positive things. I have tried scalding him, putting him on restriction (pointing out the necessity for the diet but making the lying the reason why he is in trouble). I have gone to the school and asked for cooperation with the staff (which I got no problem). I have gone to the school and talked to his class to help them understand. Nothing is working. He and other people in his life have pushed the envelope so far for so long now that other medication isn't working. I am a single working mom with no other choice but for him to go to public school. I HAVE TO WORK. I am barley affording the diet, so cant afford private school. I am at my wits end. Any suggestions? and Cole ( 7 years old, Crohn's 7 years, SCD 6 years, 30mg Prednisone.)

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 melissa, my son ethan is 9 and would be happy to email cole. we did give ethan money for every day he stayed on the diet during the first 2 months. we made a special trip to target every friday. it really helped motivate him to try new foods and feel not so deprived. i also made a practice of buying any candy from him that he was given at school. again, this helped him feel better about not being able to eat it. some convienance foods that helped us were boars head hotdogs, and hamburgers wrapped in lettuce leaves. he loves frozen juice pops, and i always keep the fridge stocked with peanut butter fudge and a variety of yogurt icecreams. we just created chocolate chip mint ice cream by starting with a vanilla icecream (yogurt) base, adding crumbled Fudge Snackaroons (from Digestive Wellness) and a bit of mint extract. Our " cookies n cream " recipe is the same, minus the mint. ethan loves to pick out recipes on line and in some of the many scd cook books we have bought. i let him dictate what we will eat for dinner every night. feel free to email me anytime. we would be happy to help in anyway we can. jill and ethan (crohn's scd 1/07) wrote: I know that the scdiet works!!!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Jill, What a great idea for the ice creams. What vanilla ice cream recipe do you use? I have some dripped yogurt in the frig specificly ready to go for making some ice cream. I'd love for you to give me the recipe. I don't think the Boreshead hotdogs are legal though. I'm going to order a few things from Digestive Wellness and SCD Bakery to keep in the freezer for thawing when I want to make iel feel like he's getting something special like the family or friends are at a party or something. Thanks for the good ideas.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 meleah, heres the recipe for the vanilla ice cream: it is based on a butter pecan recipe i got from lucy 's kitchen shop when i ordered my ice cream maker. I mix 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of vanilla, 1/3 cup of honey and a dash of salt into a blender. i occasionally add a tablespoon or 2 of butter. mix this with 3 cups of yogurt. you may need more/less vanilla and/or honey depending on your taste. i always make it with ethan standing by to taste it and give the ok before we put it in the freezer. I then put it in the freezer or 45 min. and then put it in the icecream maker. I usually stir in the cookie pieces and the mint after the icecream comes out of the ice cream maker. that way we can make 3 flavors with one batch- vanilla, cookies and cream, and chocolate chip mint. the mint is very strong. add a drop at a time to taste. as for the hotdogs, i guess the questionable ingredient is the sodium erythorbate. i believe it is derived from sugar, although i saw it labled as a question mark on a site that gave a yes or no for listed additives for SCD. i will try to find the site again. ethan hasn't had problems with the hotdogs, and it has certainly helped with his adherence to the diet. of course i am interested in what anybody else might have to say about this. thanks very much, jill robin wrote: Jill, What a great idea for the ice creams.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 hi belle, i just put the recipe out on a previous email. let me know if you don't get it. i find vanilla ice cream hard to make. i probably do it a little different each time with ethan tasting away until it tastes good to him. i am acutally surpised that he does like it because i still find the yogurt taste very strong. i have thought about experimenting with saccharin, but since he has a variety of ice cream flavors that he does like, i haven't felt the need to yet. maybe the mint wil be strong enough to cover the flavor that your son finds distasteful in the vanilla. best wishes, jill and ethan Bellevox Shoemacher wrote: Hi, You have some great ideas!

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Jill, The 'flavorings' in this product would deem it illegal, I'm afraid. It could mean anything. We avoid any labeling that says ambigious things like: " flavourings, seasonings, spices " These terms are just too vague and unknown.
