Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hi My name is Stacey and I have a 5 year old autistic son. We have been through quite a few changes this year moving from CA to FL and now Long Island, NY. We have just begun to go the bio medical route and saw our first DAN doctor. I have a meeting with him today. We have been on the GFCF diet for about 8 months now without too much difference. Although if he does have something with wheat or dairy things get worse, but they are not that great to begin with. Our DAN doctor said we might try the SCD so I have been looking into it. Any advice on starting the diet would be great Thanks. Stacey mom to Kobe, 5 , autistic, leaky gut and GI issues robin wrote: I did give iel fruit after his couple of days on the intro diet. I stuck to bananas and applesauce for several weeks. Then, we move to peaches. My mom has brought some " peach sauce " with her this week that she made from her orchard, but before that, I was pealing and slicing them. I just cut them into chunks, and baked them. Kind of like peach pie without the crust. Oh, I did introduce the raw avocado and homemade tomato sauce before the peaches. He was never interested in the green beans or pinach. We did brocolli for a while, but he has since decided that he doesn't care for that either. I've taken to blending maybe 1/4 cup or so of vegies into his fruit and yogurt smoothie until he gives up his vegie strike. I still put a few on his plate so he's used to seeing them there. He also loves pureed acorn squash with just a bit of honey. I should say that he loved it the first three times. Now, he doesn't want that either. I use that as an egg replacer in any baked goods. Hope this helps. Meleah scd 05/06 iel 3yrs., asd Ethan 5yrs., Mark 1yr. Re: SCD - bad BM - long > > > , > This really doesn't have anything to do with scd, but I thought I'd share > it.
