Re: Autism/SCD bananas yes/no???

[Guest guest]

hi there - are you part of the pecanbread yahoo group too?? mostly kids over

there

but I have some thougts - stay away from banana - ignore the " binding " issue

that everyone believes - they will feed his yeast and probably undo some of your

work - i'd go berries - i stopped pears and apples but green cooked if you need

them - no honey no high carb veges - and hopefully some thing to fight yeast -

acidophilus, s boullardi, onions garlic etc eventually -maybe some nystatin

from a doc -olive leaf extract, oil of oregano etc slowly and as per doc or

other moms

these are just some of the stuff dear son (5 years old) and I do for our yeast

eileen 2 years 4 months

son 8 months scd

Bananas. I heard that they make our ASD kids nuts or promote yeast or cause

allergies,cravings or phenols/oxalate's etc.....  On the alltess allergy panel

my son has no allergy/sensitivity number next to banana, so what am i so afraid

of????

It's really something you'll just have to try. There are some kids at pecanbread

who do great with them (they are a good source of carbs), while others don't do

so well. Just make sure they aren't eaten to the exclusion of other foods, since

your aim is a well-balanced diet.
