salicylates,phenols,and picky eaters, OH MY!

[Guest guest]

My son is pretty much sensitive to everything. He's doing great on the

diet (7 months) but we're both getting bored with the few things he

can eat. We want to try something new, but are leery because he

suffers so much when I get it wrong. any one have some thoughts on

what to try next? here are the things he currently tolerates

Meat

pecan meal

zucchini

pears

banana (occasionally)

carrots

butternut squash

broccoli

spinach

goat yogurt

honey

everything is still cooked and pureed

Ok, disregard this if it's high in phenols, etc., because I don't have

that list handy but..

How about green beans?

Or do you think you might be ready to try pears that are not pureed?

You could bake pear halves or bake diced pears for a change of pace to

the pear sauce. See the " Baked Fruit " recipe on pecanbread.com for

some ideas of extra flavors to add (spices, fruit juices).

Hi,

The reason your son is sensitive to so much is because he has an immune system

issue. Meaning that his immune system is overreacting to everything. That is

what you should concentrate on is fixing his immune system and of course the

gut. At least 70% or more of your immune system depends on how good your gut is

functioning. I gave a website to a few of the list people that I think will

help. It is www.pathwaysmed.com I think they can help you. There is also a

food sensitivity test from England called Alcat. I believe they have a website.

This is a neat place as they test foods, molds, environmental stuff, etc. They

check this stuff on your white blood cells. Most tests only do IGg but this

company does all the parts of your immune system.

Hi Teena

Actually, for a child with all those food allergies, your son is lucky to be

able to tolerate the foods you have listed. My daughter has been on SCD for 6

months and only a month ago I found out she had trouble with salicylates and

phenols. She tolerates only 2 different vegetables, green beans and butternut

squash.Sometimes I give her green peas but they have to be well cooked and

pureed to avoid the skin. I'm going to try other kinds of squash like acorn

squash or pumpkin and I know there's a kind of apple that is safe for our kids,

I think is the delicious golden kind, I'm not sure... I hope this helps a

little.

Good luck to you all.

Could you possibly make Jello out of watered down pureed fruit and/or

fruit juice just to change it up? You could even put diced, cooked

fruit in it.

Also, freeze pops out of pureed fruit are a hit with my kids, who

refuse cooked fruit normally.

Today, I cut an apple in the shape of french fries, baked them, and

sprinkled cinnamin on them and called them " apple sticks " and he loved

them.

You may want to consider an enzyme such as Houston's No Phenol if you

have not tried it previously.
