Re: Re: Intro diet clarification

[Guest guest]

Actually, I was talking about the intro diet. The list of intro foods on

pecan bread is slightly different than in BTVC. So, I was wondering if that

was because asd children seem to need to start with a more limited intro

diet than nt people. I haven't asked my husband to check the book again,

but I know that Elaine allowed dccc on intro, and Dr. Haas allowed bananas.

So, I'm wondering what would be the correct food list for intro.

I think dairy is the main thing that is different from the ASD intro and the

intro in the book. If an individual tolerates dairy already, there is no reason

to pull out DCCC if you're re-doing intro. Dairy was only left off entirely

because most families starting SCD are coming from a CF diet.

The part about Dr. Haas allowing ripe bananas on his version of the intro diet

is actually quite new to me..... only just recently learned that was true from

Mimi. It was nice to know. I wonder why Elaine didn't included them.

I do know identitical autistic twins using the SCD. They are 5 yrs. old and

doing much better. One of them had extremely poor eyesite with one crossed

eye and now he barely ever has to wear glasses and his eye is no longer

crossed. Their mom is a psychologist. The other one was really bad off GI

wise, language etc. He is speaking some words and his D is not an everyday

thing anymore either. His family is busy and cannot post but, they use to be

Gf/Cf and his mom gave me a big hug a few days ago to say thank you for

lending her my BTVC. They do not eat or like the same foods. I have cooked

for them on occassion to help mom with ideas and they both have a great

appetite. Jenn & Kali
