Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 I will start with the intro diet for my son Dec 20 or 21st. I was very much questioning whether he would eat anything on the intro diet without a major fight. The only thing I thought had a chance were the chicken pancakes. He ate them today!! Is it ok if all he eats during the intro is chicken pancakes? Also on the honey...I'm giving him honey now and he is having good bowel movements. Does this mean it is safe to use this amount of honey during the intro diet? He also ate some frozen green beans today that I got from Trader Joes. Is frozen produce ok? Also he uses Tom's of Maine toothpaste - I'm assuming this is not ok (there is xylitol in it). What is SCD legal for toothpaste? Finally my son has his IEP in a week and will start school early January. I know to tell them not to let him play with play-doh. Are there any other art supplies that are a no no? How does SCD feel about stuff like this? GFCF makes a big deal about no washable markers, dry erase products, colored pencils, etc. thanks for your help, son will start SCD in 1 week, 3 years old ASD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Hi , You will need to have some source of carbs other than honey on the intro. I would try the carrot pancakes. The intro is only a couple of days but keep in mind that if you keep on schedule, you will be eating a lot of those intro foods regardless. The honey should be OK as long as you don't use too much. I do not allow my son to play with Play-doh at school. Small kids are just not the best in cleaning up and it can easily get under fingernails and into their mouths. Some parents don't worry about it, but I know gluten affects my son, so I do worry. Frozen produce is fine as long as it's well cooked as per the intro. Toothpaste is fine as long as they aren't swallowing any of it, so I wouldn't worry about that. Hope that helps! B.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Is it ok if all he eats during > the intro is chicken pancakes? Hi, , Well, it's ideal, seeing as there wouldn't be many carbs. (Honey will supply some of the carbs.) The homemade gelatin (using diluted Welch's grade juice or legal cider) and the well-cooked carrots provide carbs and more balanced nutrition. Maybe you could hide some carrots in the chicken pancakes. Maybe you could puree carrots with diluted cider or grape juice and make a popsicle. Also on the honey...I'm giving him > honey now and he is having good bowel movements. Does this mean it is > safe to use this amount of honey during the intro diet? Honey is ok for the intro diet. Not sure what amount you are using. It is always good to practice moderation. He also ate > some frozen green beans today that I got from Trader Joes. Is frozen > produce ok? Yes.

SCD does not concern itself with what comes in contact with the skin. If you know that your child has had a reaction through the skin, you should still avoid whatever the substance is. Now if it's something that gets under the nails and then into the mouth, it could be a problem. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 thank you!! Unfortunately we are having problems getting my son to spit after brushing. So he does consume some toothpaste!! > > Is it ok if all he eats during > > the intro is chicken pancakes? > > Hi, , > Well, it's ideal, seeing as there wouldn't be many carbs.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 It is actually effective to brush with only water. You can brush with baking soda, but it tastes bad. Also, someone posted a toothpaste recipe for toothpaste. You might want to search the archives. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/pecanbread/messages mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
