Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I restarted the intro last week for my 9 yr old son and things are much improved. Because we are going very slow, I have discovered that the grape juice is a huge problem for him. We were seeing zero improvements because of this. Yesterday, we discovered that he can't have chicken. This is organic free range chicken form a neighbor. I am running out of things to feed him. Yesterday I tried salmon, instead of chicken for lunch with green beans. I am still pureeing his foods, except for the salmon, I minced it. He had a really nice day. Many improvements and we were very excited. He is 9 and he just discovered snow! Dinnertime we gave him chicken with beans, and he turned very wild. It took 2 melatonin to get him to sleep and that was with us holding him down. He had been wild for a few days, off and on. I was thinking it was the spinach. His stools are mushy again. They became mushy when he first started acting wild. I thought it was from the spinach and I stopped it. Now I am stopping the chicken. The squashes are a problem for him. He can eat green beans and salmon and 2 cups dripped yogurt a day. I have to feed him something. What should I do? Thank you, I would be lost without all the help you give! jo mom to 9 yr old autism, seizures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 jo, I get canned wild salmon at Costco. That seems to work well and is not too expensive. Do you have the intro lists from the Pecanbread web site? That can help give you some guidance as to what to try next. B.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 I'm not having trouble finding the salmon. How do I figure out what is bothering him? There is not much left to try. He can't have the eggs, beef, gelatin, grape jc, squashes, carrots, chicken and possibly spinach. I am waiting for the bananas to ripen and am going to buy zucchini. I am going to assume fresh pumpkin would be like the acorn and butternut squash. Should I wait until his stools are back to normal? He is not wild this morning. jo > > > I restarted the intro last week for my 9 yr old son > > and things are > > much improved. > > > > Because we are going very slow, I have discovered > > that the grape juice > > is a huge problem for him.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Two cups of yogurt a day is a lot for the intro diet. My twins just started the yogurt even though they were not casein free before the diet. We have been on the diet for six months and we are still only giving one tablespoon per day.It is possible that the chicken is a problem for him. You might be confusing die off from the yogurt with food intolerances. You may want to pull out the yogurt for a little while until you can decide if it is die off or real food intolerances. My twins have a hard time with spinach too and their diet is very limited however it is healthy. They can really only tolerate about 8 different foods right now but the improvements are remarkable. One is recovered and the other one has just a few issues but is very much aware of everything now. Grape juice was an issue too for us until we changed it to organic pressed and not from concentrate. (We cannot use welches at all!) We cannot use nuts either. Here is a list of the things they can eat (all organic free range) chicken pork (ground) very little beef very little lamb wild (not farmed) salmon in very small amounts eggs apples (pureed) banana pears (pureed) green beans (pureed) grape juice apple cider melons boiled honey some squash some zuchini some cucumber goat yogurt (one tablespoon dripped) It is so exciting when they awaken! Good luck to you and your son.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Can he have eggs? If so, you can make muffins for him as a change. The recipe I use is 1 cup pureed veggies, 4 eggs, 1 Tble coconut oil, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Of course you can leave out the cinnamon and vanilla if you want, but if he tolerates it, it will add some new flavor. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Cindy, has been on the diet almost 3 months. We started with 1/8th tsp of yogurt. We worked our way up. I feel he isn't having a problem with the yogurt now that we're dripping it. Could he still be having die off this far along into the diet? When I restarted the intro last wek, I decided to leave the yogurt in because it took so long to work our way up. Interesting that you have some of the same food issues as us. I was using Knudsen Just Concord and I was diluting it. Luckily he went 1 1 1/2 days without it so we really noticed it when we gave it to him. What do you think about my yogurt question? Glad the diet is working so well for you. jo > > Two cups of yogurt a day is a lot for the intro diet. My twins just started > the yogurt even though they were not casein free before the diet.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 They do okay for a lunch bag, but I do keep them in the fridge at home otherwise they won't last as long since there's no preservatives.

The vit D in the CLO may help as might the anti-inflammatory effects of the omega 3's in the fish oils. http://www.epilepsy.com/node/855107 <<<<Dinnertime we gave him chicken with beans, and he turned very wild > It took 2 melatonin to get him to sleep and that was with us holding > him down.

In some sensitive indiviuals the foods fed to the animal makes a very big difference. <<<<<squashes are a problem for him.> > He can eat green beans and salmon and 2 cups dripped yogurt a day.>>>> How is he with very well cooked carrots (3-4 hours simmered and then pureed)? If he does well with green beans he may be okay with cooked, seived green peas. (cook the peas until soft and run them through a food mill or push through a seive th strain out the skins). Start with a small amount until you know his reaction. How is he with eggs? If a problem, some people tolerate eggs better when they are cooked/baked with other foods. You could make salmon pancakes. Blend egg with salmon and fry in oil/butter until brown. Flip and brown on other side. > I have to feed him something.
