butter for ASD SCD new starter

[Guest guest]

Hi all

I've read in 'We Band of Mothers' about the question of giving yogurt

to SCD new starters (after 6 months if casein has been a problem), but

can't find out about when I can start giving butter to them.

I have a list of replacements for butter, but wondered at what point I

could start trying him with butter. (My boy reacts badly to casein -

eg, parmesan in pesto sauce caused diarrhoea and smearing to return

after months on GFCF so I am wary.)

If you are not too afraid, you can try butter right away. Butter is

mostly fat. The casein is minimal. Still and all, some do react, and

your son seems quite sensitive. Ghee would be a safer choice. Ghee is

just the fat part of the butter without the casein. It is also known

as clarified butter. You can buy it in the health food store. I can

find it at Kroger in some areas in the international foods aisle. To

put on veggies, or spread on toast, I prefer the taste of homemade ghee.

Hi ,

You could start the yogurt sooner if you follow the Pecanbread

protocol.

The protocol for the yogurt in 'We Band of Mothers'

is different than the protocol from Pecanbread. The protocol from

Pecanbread makes it possible to introduce the yogurt much earlier

than is recommended by 'We Band of Mothers'.

The yogurt protocol from Pecanbread recommends the following:

You start out with 1/8 of a teaspoon

Drip the yogurt

Use only goat yogurt

The yogurt protocol from 'We Band of Mothers'recommends the following:

You start out with 1/4 of a teaspoon

No requirement for dripping the yogurt

You use either cow or goat milk.

You can use the list archives to find why using the Pecanbread

protocol makes the yogurt more tolerable.

You can start introducing the yogurt after a couple of months if you

use the Pecanbread protocol.
