Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 My autistic son has an oxalate problem and most of the nut flours are high in oxalates. What bean flours are allowed, besides white bean? And does anyone have ideas about how to cook with them and how they differ from nut flours? We have been able to make some great breads and muffins from nut flour, is it as simple as substituting bean flour? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Beans are very hard to digest. They should only be used several months after gut healing had taken place. You should take care that you soak them in the right way before making flour out of them. BTVC only allows navy beans to be used for making flour.

There is some info on bean flour and SCD at http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/knowledge_base/kb/bean_flour.ht m> How long has your son been on the diet? What foods is your son eating now? How are his bm's, beahiours etc.? Did you start with the intro diet and gradually add in foods Answering these questions will help me and others give you appropriate answers/options for your sons healing.

When you advanced you can make a bean paste to use as an extender. We don't concern ourselves with oxalates on this prticular list as SCD usually increases food tolerance. We do advise using whole nuts later and nut flours in moderation especially at the start of SCD. Nut butter is easier to digest. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Share Posted July 1, 2006 I am sorry if anyone perceived my comment about the fact that we do not concern ourselves with oxalates here as hostile or prejudicial to oxalate concerns. We cannot embrace every dietary intervention proposed for autism on this list which has SCD as its mission. There is another list devoted to understanding oxalates. People who have investigated suggest always trying SCD first. That is because the theoretical oxalate dumping can take months and valuable time lost. People on the low oxalate support group follow various diets. Many eat foods like rice. No one there is primarily concerned with answering SCD questions. So I am not dismissing oxalates. I am saying we don't address it on this list. Carol F. Celiac, MCS, Latex Allergy, EMS SCD 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
