Re: Maybe we need a honey break

[Guest guest]

Angie,

When you use words like " dependent " on the baked goods... it makes me

wonder. Elaine recommended no more than the equivalent of 2 regular

sized muffins per day for the kids.

Are your kids eating a lot more than that?

Think of the baked goods as a small portion of the diet, a very small

portion. The vast majority of the diet should be vegetables, fruits,

and protein.

No, they are not getting more than that. By dependent, I just meant

they really look forward to it--making choices about whether they

want their one peanut butter brownie after lunch or after dinner.

It's a big decision. ;-)

So they aren't getting more than that, but it seems like a constant

source of honey that they weren't getting before. Sure, they were

getting a lot of bad stuff before. I'm just trying to hammer at this

hyperactivity. I'm impatient because I want to keep Gus off of ADHD

meds when school starts (he's been off all summer), but time is

getting close (August 23) AND he's resumed behavoriors such as LOUD

TALKING and HIGH-PITCHED SCREAMING that I fear him developing nodules

on his vocal cords (which he did when he was four).

Rest assured, the baked goods are a small part, but a psychologically

big part.

" Rest assured, the baked goods are a small part, but a

That's good.

What type of muffins are you making?

How about trying one of the recipes that doesn't use almonds or honey?

Switch to those for a few days and see how it goes.

(Something like the cashew butter muffins, but use ground pecans or

walnuts instead of the cashew butter.)

Sorry if this repeats. I tried to cancel to add a sentence and lost my

message.

Muffins from BTVC with a little orange pulp thrown in from juicer.

Also an avocado muffins recipe that someone sent, but the kids didn't

like.

I've not been doing ANYTHING with almond. You folks have scared me

away from almond.

I'll readily make the cashew butter muffins tonight. Do you know

offhand in which book or on what site it can be located?

Thanks,

Angie

How long has he been SCD? regression can occur at the three month mark

and once past that things continue to improve as a rule.

In the spring were you using honey and peanut butter? Any other

foods that you are using now that you didn't before?

Did you start with the intro and gradually add foods in? If not

doing that may help pinpoint which foods (if any) may be responsible

for the hyperactivity.

Yes, in the spring he was getting a daily peanut butter brownie (pb

and honey). I was about to type that he now is getting honey in a

daily muffin, but come to think of it, in the spring he was eating a

lot of goat milk yogurt and mixing honey with it.

Yes, we did do intro and have been slowly adding foods. Nothing

sticks out as a culprit.
