SCD and GF/CF/SF/CF and No High Phenol foods - Please help

[Guest guest]

Hello. I have just joined this group after buying and reading the

groups of books from the SCD website. My son is 6 and has ASD.

What can he eat besides Meat and Veges. He loves fruit but we

noticed a sensitivity to Apples, Bananas, and Pears. He can have no

Strawberries either. Our DAN! wants him off of all High Phenol foods

which mean peaunuts. He is sensitive to Gluten and Casein and Soy

and most recently Corn and Eggs.

I just ordered Wild Game Meat from ExoticMeats.com so that he could

try something other than Hamburger and Bacon. He hates chicken. I

tried baking it in honey. I am going to attempt to deep fry it with

almond flour.

Most of the recipes require eggs. What do I do? Are there any

snacks you can buy online that are SCD legal? Also can I use Annie's

GLuten Free Ketchup? When I compared the ingredients to the one

inthe book there wasn't any.

All 100% fruit juice is out, so is there anything that he drink other

than water?

Thanks for your help. Kristi

Hi, Kristi,

If you fry the chicken with almond flour, you will not be doing the

intro diet. People see better results if they start with the intro

diet. You might try pureeing the chicken with the carrots and adding

it back into the broth for the intro diet. If he doesn't like that

either, maybe just give him the broth and the rest of the family can

eat the chicken. Or freeze the chicken and use it after the intro

diet. We have unusual ways of making chicken. How about a chicken

cookie? http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/message/62306

Yellow delicious apples are considered low in phenols and so are the

nashi (Asian) pears. Maybe you should ask your doctor about trying

an enzyme like No-Phenol to take with high phenol foods. It is so

limiting just to leave all of those foods out. Please read here:

Some people use pureed squash to substitute for eggs. There are some

other egg substitutes here:

Since you are just starting out, it's too early for any of the

purchased snacks. But later in the diet you can order some snacks

here:

Annie's gluten free ketchup is not legal. The 2% rule allows

manufacturers to put up to 2% of sugar or corn syrup or whatever into

their food products without listing those ingredients, so there's no

way to tell if the label tells us all we need to know.

If you do not want to give your child fruit juice, then he will drink

water at first. After the intro diet you could introduce spearmint

and peppermint tea. You put in a bit of lemon juice (after the intro

diet) in his water for flavor. Later in the diet you'll be able to

make some nut milk.

Thank you very much! Can I use the exotic meat burgers. Can I feed

him bacon and hamburger or does that have to wait to? Are peas ok. I

thought I read they were. Whay do you ahve to boil the carrots for

four hours? It says no bens but ok for french but green beans? what

does that mean?

I am so confused.

Hi, Kristi,

You should stick with hamburger and chicken broth during the intro

diet. Then it will be fine to introduce the exotic meats as long as

they have no additives. Do not add bacon right away; it's a little

harder to digest. Peas are legal, but try some of the easier to digest

vegetables first like zucchini, green beans, spinach, and winter squash.

As you know, carrots are part of the intro diet. We were finding that

some people were having trouble digesting carrots. That is the reason

for the recommendation to be sure to boil them for 4 hours (like you do

when you make the soup). It makes them easier to digest.

Green beans are legal. The French-cut type of green bean is even

easier to digest than the whole green bean or cut green bean. Lima

beans are also legal, but should be tried a little later since they are

not as easy to digest. Then there are all the dried beans. Those are

a different story from the green beans and fresh limas. There are not

many dried beans that are legal since they can be quite starchy. And

the dried beans that are legal are not a beginner food on this diet.

You have to have some healing occur before you can try them. And you

have to make sure you prepare them properly by soaking, etc. The legal

dried beans are navy beans, lentils, dried limas, and split peas.
