Re: Two year old starting to refuse what used to be favorite SCD legal foods

[Guest guest]

Dana,

I think the baked goods with the almond flour could definitely be a problem.

Of course, ANY time you see a kids suddenly limiting himself to a couple of

foods, and obsessing on those..... you know SOMEthing is off balance.

I would pull the almond flour.... and maybe just use nut butters for baking.

But, if he is going to just want a WHOLE BUNCH of any baked good.... and is

wanting nothing else but sweet stuff, I do suspect you've got a problem. I'm

just not exactly sure what.

If all of this started after you ran out of probiotics.... then I guess I'd

suggest yes, you need to start them back up ASAP, though it is puzzling because

he's getting the yogurt.

I know this may be tough... but I think you have to be the one making the food

choices here. You know that nothing but fruit and baked goods is not okay....

so those need to be out of the picture, except in what quantity you give him.

You're the mom... you get to say what's for lunch. I guess I'd rather see him

not eat at all for a day.... (sort of " fasting " ??).... than getting to overeat

sweet stuff and refuse the veggies and protein.

This is one tough scenario, though.... since you have two to contend with.

Let's try to puzzle this out....... keep the info coming...

Two year old starting to refuse what used to be favorite

SCD legal foods

I have a two year old who is suddenly deciding he does not like SCD legal

foods that were once his favorites. He refuses to eat them now and will spend

the entire time throwing food to the floor. He used to like chicken tots, sneaky

veggie pancakes, and other recipes from pecanbread.com. Now, all he wants are

bananas (which he does not digest well and his behavior deteriorates when he

eats too many), goat yogurt, and almond muffins/pancakes (which I feel he also

does not digest well). He would also eat fruit all day long if I let him. I do

not know what to do.

He does not understand nor care about cute characters and does not understand

" if you eat a bite of this, then you can have a bite of that. "

Right now I am still able to mix some foods like spinach or zuchinni with pear

a little chicken and coconut oil and puree with cinnamon and honey and he will

eat. But if I offer this all day every day, he will probably begin to refuse it

as well. I am concerned. How am I going to get him to heal if he refuses to eat

the best foods for him to heal?

Thanks, Dana

Hi Patti & Dana,

> If all of this started after you ran out of probiotics.... then I

guess I'd suggest yes, you need to start them back up ASAP, though it

is puzzling because he's getting the yogurt.

Just in case it gets missed I'll repeat what I sent in another thread:

If the yogurt Dana is using is ProGurt it does not contain L.

acidophilus, only L. Casei, L. Bulgaricus and S. thermophilus. Her

supplementation with acidophilus probiotics may have been keeping the

yeast levels down. When she ran out of L. acidophilus it likely gave

the yeast " room " to reproduce.

If you could restart with the intro for a day or two and restart the

acidophilus this may help with getting things back to normal. You'd

likely experience die off as the yeast are starved off, so epsom salt

baths and/or activated charcoal should be of help.

Thanks, Sheila... I guess I didn't realise that. I learn something new here

every day.
