newbie - hemp milk question

[Guest guest]

I have a 8 year old son with autism and recently diagnosed

eosinophilic colitis. I am considering the SC diet, but am

researching it carefully first. One thing that will be difficult is

that he is milk and nut allergic, so not sure how we can deal with

that - guess he won't be having muffins or anything.

Does anyone know if Hemp Milk is legal? I know hemp seeds would not

be, but does that change for milk? I did search the message board for

this but didn't see anything about hemp milk. Otherwise, I have no

idea what I could give him for a milk substitute - not soy, rice,

potato or almond, anyway.

My only challenges that I can see are the milk substitute and what to

give him for snack times instead of chips/crackers/cookies. Otherwise,

I am good to go with this diet. He is not a picky eater, but has these

other food restrictions, as well as some chewing difficulties.

Thank you.

Hi Kim,

I have heard of zucchini milk so I just did a google search. This recipe was on

recipelink.com They said:

Zucchini Milk

Peel zucchini and cut into chunks. Toss the chunks into a blender or food

processor and blend until liquefied. That it!

I have never made it so I don't know how it is. I would deseed it before

blending!

Do you mean he is anaphylactically allergic to milk and nuts?

If yes is it all types of milk (cow milk, goat milk etc..)

All nuts tree nuts, peanuts etc..?

Some are intolerant (gassiness, diarrhea etc..) to some foods but

find that as they heal they are able to tolerate foods eventually.

Some are allergic (IgE) to nuts and dairy and are able to do the

diet. They have to use the other food groups more creatively. There

are lots of great kid friendly recipes (including snacks) at

Sorry but no , it isn't legal.

You can make fruit smoothies which are ripe fruit blended until

smooth with water. I have made them with ripe banana and water. To

make it more like ice cream you can freeze or partially freeze the

fruit.

Down the line, he may tolerate coconut flour.
