Need to adjust diet -- too much fat

[Guest guest]

Jody,

My son is 8 yrs/ 2 mos., 50 inches tall and 61 pounds. He

is very hyper, non-verbal and spends most idle time scripting,

singing and stimming unless pushed to engage one-on-one. He has been

on SCD for 2+ years after 1.5 yrs on GFCF. We never did the intro.

We seem to be stuck in a holding pattern. He is always hungry and I

am concerned that his diet is not balanced and too high in fat.

(I've listed all the details below this post.)

I would appreciate your advice on how to make adjustments. I read in

one of your posts that you serve 3 times as many veggies as meat. Do

you suggest I push more veggies? Shall I add the goat yogurt? Shall

I remove nuts and raw veggies(this will be really hard)? Shall I

return to intro? Any other ideas.

Thank you.
