SCD various questions

[Guest guest]

I have an array of differing questions - so here goes:

1. Did your kiddo do a food strike after beginning the diet? I'm

cooking all the time and he's eating less and less and still has

diarrhea days.

2. What do you do with 1 quart of yogurt if you're only using 1/8th of

a teaspoon a day from it?

3. Got any fail-safe recipes to share? We have the BTVC and Cooking to

Heal Little Tummies, as well as the scdrecipes and pecanbread recipes

- but which ones do your kids LOVE?

4. What's a typical day of eating for your kiddo look like for meals

and snacks? Quantities, etc.?

5. Are ya'll using any supplements? (cod liver oil, fish oil,

enzymes)? If so, which ones, what quantity, and how do you administer

them?

6. What kinds of improvements have you noticed since beginning the SCD diet?

7. How's your spouse and/or siblings dealing w/the change? I'm having

trouble balancing out the non-SCD eating dh w/the SCD mom and ds

diets. So dh usually eats out or makes his own separate meal. I feel

bad for him and don't blame him - the SCD food just isn't all that

great compared to our way of eating before. It's healed my arthritis

but I'm not sure what it's doing for ds.

Thanks mamas. I'm having a frustrating week it looks like and am

almost ready to thrown in the towel, buy a big old package of sugar

wafers and just let him have at it.

Love,

My kid has always been fairly adventurous about food

so that part wasn't a problem.

What he eats...well, today was pretty typical I

suppose. My five year old had two hard boiled eggs and

a bowl of applesauce for breakfast. Lunch was a

chicken breast with tomato sauce I cooked down earlier

in the week, another hard boiled egg, and another big

bowl of applesauce. We are making plenty of legal

jello for dinner and I cooked some hamburger patties

ahead of time. I'm going to make some more cooked

carrots too.

We don't use supplements for now.

My husband is not SCD and he's doing fine. My son and

I were gluten free ahead of time so he's used to it.

The only thing he asks is to go out and get himself a

fast food meal on Saturday. He is very careful about

cross contamination. We can't afford for him to be on

the diet with us, so he eats other low cost Costco

type foods, frozen burritos and such.

What keeps me going? It's clearly helping . For

example, yesterday he got an illegal. Apparently the

principal at school gave him a small candy cane and he

ate it without anyone noticing. He told me when he

came home.

Well. He had EXPLOSIVE diarrhea in the next hour. He

even ended up dripping some of it onto his clothes and

socks because he got up off the toilet to look at it.

And he understood it was because he ate something

" regular " so that was something.

The next day (today), he regressed big time. He's

repeating everything and stimming like crazy, freaking

out, yelling, saying his little made-up words that he

stopped saying altogether before...sigh.

So even if you WERE to give him a big sugar filled

something or other...you will probably live to regret

it!
