Re: Need Liver Pate suggestions again please, and more.

[Guest guest]

Antoinette, can you mold this into fun shapes with a Jell-O mold, or use

a cookie cuter to cut it into shapes? I've never had liver pate so I

don't know how thick it is if either of these is a viable option, but if

it is, kids seem to like stuff like that. If you use a " legal " bread,

you can spread it on bread maybe and try eating it like a sandwich.

Just a couple of suggestions...hope something helps!

The body does a lot of healing while asleep so that may be at least

partly her bodies' way of recovering from being ill.

My son liked to dip cooked carrots and other veggies into the pate.

We called it his special dip.

If she doesn't like the pate you can try changing up the

presentation. If she eats broiled meat patties (from the intro) you

can mix some liver in with the ground meat in the food processor and

then make the patties. Or mix some liver into a meatloaf (can she

eat eggs) If not ready for SCD ketchup you can make a spread out of

some cooked well carrots pureed with a little homemade chicken broth

(like a thick carrot soup).

Having very fresh liver will help; it tastes much better than frozen.

Liver has large amounts of B12

see

I wouldn't use the nasal spray unless okayed by the doc or the DAN.

It sounds as if she is still fragile.

My son (4.5yrs ASD) prefers to eat the liver without it being made

into pate, but what we have done is spread it onto legal lunch meat

and roll it up. I slice it and serve with a toothpick. the stick

keeps it fun. Good luck!

Thank you everybody for the good suggestions! The one where I hid it in the

meat loaf worked! We have an appointment with DAN! next Wednesday, about the

B12 problem/deficiency again and sleeping all the time. Maybe he will help

(they are a little more understanding of things)...the pediatrician is " locking "

up again. I am sure many understand this problem!

Hi Antoinette

I read your message. My english is a little bad, and I'm not sure if I

understood well about the deficiency B12 and the sleeping time. I have been

reading and reading and investigating about the sympthoms of this deficiency,

and those seem to have a big relation with my son. Since my son's gut problem

increased he has been sleeping a lot. This situation makes me feel creazy!!!

because he was a very active boy and now he sleeps and sleeps and sleeps. He

seems to be weak.

,

Sleeping is good if you are seeing some improvement. His body is healing while

he is on SCD. It will take some time for him to be feeling *normal* again. A lot

of rest is good for the body to recover. It can also be die-off. I know when I

have die-off I sleep a lot. Do not worry too much unless it goes on for months.

You are pretty new at this. Just give it some time.
