Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi All, We started the intro Friday for our son (4 y/o with autism), offering him everything listed on the ASD Intro List. By 5pm, he finally ate some of the chicken pancakes. We decided to stay on the intro for 5 days tho b/c hubby accidentally gave him 4oz of undiluted apple cider (which he had bought in advance b/c we live in a rural area & would have it when ready) on Saturaday. He hasn't eaten one bite since the chicken pancakes on Friday!! We have offered eggs cooked many ways, the chicken soup, chicken meatballs, beef meatballs, chicken pancakes, homemade jello, legal diluted grape juice & ice water. We are getting scared as well as " comments " from family. Here are my current questions: He LOVES bananas (only fruit he has ever eaten)...I am afraid if we introduce bananas first, he will keep holding out for bananas & not eat anything else. What do you think? Should we introduce applesauce today first instead? And second, how long does/should this " strike " last? THANKS SO MUCH FOR HELP & SUPPORT!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi, Christy, There is no reason to be on the intro so long unless your son has diarrhea. I think your instinct is good to not offer bananas just yet. Try the applesauce. There is no set time these strikes last. Be sure to keep him drinking. Hang in there. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Oh , thanks so much for your reply & support. We made the boiled applesauce but he wouldn't touch it, so I added some of it to some grape juice with ice & made a smoothie & he gulped it down. Just wish he would eat some protein or the carrots (sigh...). Since bacon is an advanced food, would it be to soon to introduce boiled/broiled pork chops & grind with egg & maybe some applesauce for a pancake for variety?? Thanks again for being so helpful!

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi, Just jumping in--someone posted awhile back about making popsicles of all kinds. Fruits, vegetables and I think her name was but I'm not positive. She had great results with it sounded like. Maybe someone can post those for you.

The popsicle idea is a good one, too. Just wish > he would eat some protein or the carrots (sigh...). You can put these in popsicles or smoothies, too.

Yes, absolutely. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
