Hi, CJ,

That must be so hard! Your solutions are good: the best of bad

choices. I never had this trouble because was 8 when we started

and had been GFCF for a year. I remember Jody G said that she had

picked up a Scooby Doo waffle iron at Wal-mart (I don't think they

have them any more) and sent her boys sandwiches to school on Scooby

Doo waffle bread. All the other kids thought that Jody's boys'

sandwiches were way cooler than their own. I hate to give you more

work to do, but maybe you can think of something that looks really

cool like gelatin shapes or something like that.

Hi ,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I think the hardest part about this diet

is: getting caught away from the house for too long and having to eat

out (almost impossible at this stage), eating too much meat, and the

snacktime at school.

Thanks for your suggestion. Although, my son hates gelatin,

apparently. He wouldn't touch it on the intro diet. I guess we'll

stick with the " do something else " until if/when that doesn't work

anymore.

Hi

I just started (14 days) on SCD. My son is 10 and I am frantic also about snacks

AND lunch.Tuesday, formerly pizza day and 's favorite... is now a

nightmare. Thursday--French Fry from the deli day....

I did just purchase an extra v-smile pocket game (59.95 on sale at Target) so

that when yummy food is eaten in front of his wanting nose... there is something

to distract with besides a celery stick. Something fun and special and cool.

I am all for the cool waffles and such... I try to make things LOOK more

appealing... and I think it helps.

School has yet to be attended since getting serious with diet,... I am planning

on starting for 2 hours, after lunch maybe tomorrow...and slowly work backwards

into a whole day.

He still is de-toxing... so symptoms are pretty severe at times.. at least 4

times a day.

We don't have lots of $$, but I feel like I need to just get this going right...

and if a v-smile in the classroom helps... it's worth it.

I do have an awesome teacher for my son, but her dad just died...and she is not

in great shape... I had bad timing with starting this, but had no choice.. my

son was in loads of pain..

anyhow, thanks for discussing this...any ideas are appreciated and avidly

read!!!
