Re-intro and nut yogurt question

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm Sherry, mom to 17 Down Syndrome and Autism, SCD 3 years . I've

been on nomail for quite awhile and decided I needed to be back here to learn

about whatever is new and to pick your braIns:-)

One wonderful thing that has happened is that has been able to wean

completely off of 40mg of Prevacid per day after 4 years. She also no longer

moans and groans all night due to GI pain. We had been hoping that this would

reduce her malabsorbtion problems but as of last night we learned that her iron,

B12, calcium and protein are still very low and we are supplementing with iron,

cal and Vit D. These are problems that have been ongoing.

She is on a good and varied diet but everything is pureed. I never did finish up

with the most crucial ingredient of healing...yogurt. (alot of illness and chaos

around here- long story). Anyway because she is casein free and allergic to milk

I had planned to try the nut yogurt with her. It's been so long since I've been

here I'm wondering if those of you who did use the nut yogurt have seen positive

results and is there any new info I should be aware of before beginning? What

other type of yogurts have those of you with no-milk diets been able to utilize?

What sources do you use for calcium?

Also is there still a location for the " unofficial " stages of the diet? We've

remained in stage one as was so ill.

Thanks so much
