Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi! I see now I must take my 2 year old off the rice. But the intro diet is just not enough calories and she is losing weight as we speak. She is allergic to almonds, tomatoes and eggs!! I see now that there is not much left to eat from the recipe book!!! I just want to cry. she likes avacado..but had a reaction to it on the IgG... She likes raspberries ( I dont see them listed), blueberries, bananas, watermelon, cantaloupe, apples and pears. Are you SURE that millet, quinoa and buckwheat are yeast producers? They are allowed on the BED diet, so I am confused. We just made her some quiona crackers that she loved!!! I would love to give her cheese if she would eat it...I AM worried about the casein, but I am more worried about her weight! Any suggestions for starting this diet....keeping her fat and killing the yeast all at the same time? Thank you!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I had the same problem with my son. He lost so much weight and was shooting up in height at the same time. He did not look good. I almost took him off of the diet. Instead I took him to a nutritionist at a local hospital with my doctor's referral (so insurance covered it). She recommended that we add some oil, like olive oil to his meat when we grill it, and to his cooked veggies along with some salt. I also bought a scale for the first time ever and monitored his weight. It worked. He never got fat, but is 'healthy slim', which is something we can live with. The one difference is that my son was 11 and 12, not 2. Losing weight at 2 is a bigger deal. I would try to get a nutritionist involved that is open to what you are trying to do. Hope this helps, Lori Ok..NO rice... Hi! I see now I must take my 2 year old off the rice. But the intro diet is just not enough calories and she is losing weight as we speak.

This diet tends to do that once illegals are pushed out of the body and the bad bugs die off. My husband needed to losse weight and I needed to gain weight. We ate basically the same foods - he lost weight and I gained it. I ate legal cheese, hamburger patties, homemade mayo, avocadoes, good oil etc... <<<She is allergic to almonds, tomatoes and eggs!! I see now that there is not much left to eat > from the recipe book!!! >>>> Is she allergic (anaphylaxis) or sensitive right now. If sensitive, after some healing she may be able to tolerate these foods. Many have reported that the diet healed them and allowed foods that they previously had trouble with. How about pecans - which are the easiest to digest nut. You can make many great recipes with pecanbutter or pecan flour. Pecan panckaes, muffins , breads etc... one example: http://pecanbread.com/new/recipes/egglesspecanbrownies.html > > I just want to cry. > > she likes avacado..but had a reaction to it on the IgG... > > She likes raspberries ( I dont see them listed), blueberries, bananas, watermelon, > cantaloupe, apples and pears. > > Are you SURE that millet, quinoa and buckwheat are yeast producers?

If concerned about the casein you could start with goat cheese which is easier to digest than cow cheese. Goat cheddar (mild or medium, goat havarti etc..) > > Any suggestions for starting this diet....keeping her fat and killing the yeast all at the > same time? > > Thank you!!!! > > >>> For yeast see http://pecanbread.com/new/yeast.html http://pecanbread.com/new/yeastsheila.html Sheila, SCD Feb. 2001, UC 23yrs, PCOD 22yrs mom of and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 It's been a while since I read the BED literature, but back when I did (and my son followed BED), I do remember that even the BED grains were to be limited -- and if significant gut healing needed to take place you were supposed to do BED grain-free for as long as it took (the example given was one year grain-free). Nobody ever followed this advice for their kids as nobody wanted to give up grains, but even the author of BED suggested that the grains could interfere with improvement on the diet & could feed yeast. For my son, the BED grains caused the most terrible smelling poops, gas and diaper rashes. They were not okay for him. He actually did better on rice and gluten grains. I suggest you first introduce SCD foods to your child so that she can develop some preferences. Then gradually reduce and eliminate the illegals. There is no reason to starve her. - allisonhase wrote: Hi! I see now I must take my 2 year old off the rice. But the intro diet is just not enough calories and she is losing weight as we speak.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Goats milk yogurt is naturally high in amino acids and nutrients, and some are trying raw cows milk yogurt. I know a celiac that tried the raw milk and had no problems. the yogurt and cheeses are safer than the milks, because it alters the casein. Goat's milk is naturally low in casein, so the yogurt is even more digestible. Use your own discretion on when to start it,based on what his gut can handle. I tried just the blander foods because of our gut for a couple of weeks before introducing the goats milk, and it seems to be fine, though I am Asian and I need lactose pills. Also, later you might try naturally made coconut milk? It's nutrient packed, though a stage 2 food. If you think of it in phases, and take the week or two to just let the stomach heal by taking off the carbs and starches first, it is worth it. They will just be hungrier and have to eat more of the good foods... The theory is that quinoa/ grains are hard for the body to digest, as well as a starch that feeds the bugs... When the candida or fungus are dead, the symptoms of candida start to fade, and that is worth all of it! I just read today that the candida and mercury combination affect the brain and cause disorder. So systematically killing this bug and healing your gut is the goal. Kids adjust pretty well on the food I think, it's the die off that is a bit hard if you go too fast...breathe...it'll be okay...Jeanne. lori choruby wrote: I had the same problem with my son.
