Day 8 into Diet....Some Problems!!! HELP!!! HELP!!!

[Guest guest]

Ok, I am having some problems all the way around. We started out

great, and did the intro diet for about 3 days, which we got the

first formed stool for Ben in two years on day 3, which was awesome

to see! Well, after about day 4, he won't eat the " burgers "

or " patties " of any kind, where in the first few days, he couldn't

get enough! Ugh, he just makes this face and starts screaming for

muffins! I started making this " muffin " on day 5, and that is all he

wants now. I spent long hours in the kitchen trying to figure out how

to make an SCD muffin with NUT BUTTER and NO EGGS, not flour, and

finally hit it! I used cashew butter (then almond butter too) with

baked acorn squash, a little apple cider (legal), baking soda, and

honey. They are actually pretty great. I was planning to wait on

introducing the nut butters a bit, but got a bit desperate since he

is not eating much now and can't have dairy, cheese, yogurts,

etc....which DOES make this diet extremely difficult I might add!

ugh!

So, since yesterday he has gone from nice, formed stools to this very

dark brown/black tar type stool, and has HORRIBLE non-stop gas that

started this afternoon! He still looks like he has a mild fever quite

a bit, and red cheeks, and still won't wear his clothes. His behavior

is irratic, with some good, then turns into the devil child briefly,

then back again. Here is what he ate yesterday and today:

YESTERDAY:

Breakfast - 7 Almond Butter Muffins (as described above) - first day

on the almond variety. Yes, 7! He just wanted more and more, and was

actually ASKING me for " more muffins, please! " (a FIRST!) Apple cider

& water. Tried Just Blueberry juice, but he would not drink it. He

only wants the apple cider at all meals..is that bad?

Lunch - Cooked Chicken Patty w/garlic and sea salt. Steamed, peeled

Pears. Would not touch either one. Apple cider & water.

Dinner - Ground turkey w/carrots in blender, pan fried in sunflower

oil as a patty. Would not touch this either. I gave in and he had

more muffins, about 6 more of the almond muffins. Apple cider &

water.

TODAY:

Breakfast: 6 Almond Butter Muffins. Apple cider & water.

Lunch : Ground Beef Patty w/sea salt. Would not touch this. Did not

offer him anything else. Apple cider & water.

Dinner: Ground turkey w/carrots in blender, pan fried in sunflower

oil as a patty. Would not touch this either. I gave in and he had

more muffins, about 4 more of the almond muffins.

I did start him on the Scidophilis supplement a couple days ago with

about 1/3cap in the AM. So, could it be that? Or the almond butter?

Or the massive amount of muffins? LOL. :-) Is that horrible, even if

they are made of squash and nut butters? He did test allergic on a

skin test 1.5yrs ago to almonds, but tested negative on the IgG and

IgE tests for them. He is allergic to peanuts and mildly to walnuts,

but other nuts seemed ok. We still haven't done the nut flours yet.

This diet is so difficultof you can't have eggs or dairy. It's

horrible to cook around those things. :-( What am I supposed to feed

this child? I tried to make the ketchup from the BTVC book TWICE and

only got a thin liquid. It never thickened, so is there a LEGAL

canned tomato paste that I could use, and just add some honey? That

would make things a lot easier, and THIS kid used to eat ANYTHING

with ketchup on it! Also, is there a list with legal " brnad " names of

things like this. I have got to buy some pre-made things, or I will

never make it cooking on this diet. As it is now, I NEVER actually

leave the kitchen, and my family life (3yr and 18mo little ones, and

a neglected husband!) are suffering b/c of it! I have NO time for

anything else! I need more ideas about how to feed this

child....please help me!!!!

Thanks much -

;-))))
