Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I'm about to start SCD in maybe 2 weeks now & am getting nervous. I need ideas for my kids foods, particulary breakfast, lunch & snacks. My oldest is ASD & has texture/sensory issues. He won't eat anything " soupy " or requiring a spoon (he's lousy with a fork yet too). Can people post what their kids eat & meal & snack ideas so I can form some ideas & get ready? Thanks very much, Michele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 I make up smoothies for breakfast. My ASD son doesn't do weird or soupy textures either (at least not without throwing up! LOL), but he will drink a smoothie. Especially with a brightly colored or curly straw. It's also the only way I can get him to eat the yogurt. I put a ripe banana, SCD legal juice or cider, homemade yogurt and enough ice-cubes to equal the juice. If I do 1 1/2 cups of the juice and ice, 12 oz. of yogurt (we don't have problems with that much) and 2 bananas it's enough to feed all 5 of us with a side of scrambled eggs. I'm not an egg person and it's filling enough for me to make it through until lunch. For lunch you could make the chicken soup, but instead of pureeing the carrots, just slice them. Drain the liquid off for your son and he can eat it with a fork. Or just cook up some chicken or a hamburger patty and serve with cooked apples, pears, green beans or whatever else (legal of course) that he can tolerate at the moment. For dinner we do similar to what we do for lunch, with whichever meat we didn't have for lunch and a different fruit or vegetable. We've tried the SCD jello, the rest of us LOVE it, but he just can't handle it yet, it's too jiggly and makes him gag. For snacks we usually give him a ripe banana, he just can't bring himself to eat applesauce (which is what my other children have for a snack) I hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Michele, My twin two year olds have textural issues with food as well. It has to be a soft type texture. So, what I have to do is cook their meat, then puree it, then mix it with whatever recipe so that it is a soft type texture, but is still a finger food. This is an idea of meals that my boys eat (we still have not figured out snacks) Breakfast: Sneaky Veggie Pancakes w/carrots applesauce or yogurt Lunch: Avocado Meatloaf Squash fries Supper: Chicken Cupcakes Jello All these recipes are on pecanbread.com Hope this helps Dana Mom to and Garrett Celiac Disease SCD 3 months hugs_may99 wrote: I'm about to start SCD in maybe 2 weeks now & am getting nervous.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2006 Report Share Posted September 19, 2006 Thank you for responding. Breakfast is still an issue for him. He won't drink smoothies or eat eggs. He also doesn't eat bananas. I can't give him burgers for breakfast too! Thanks, Michele > > I'm about to start SCD in maybe 2 weeks now & am getting nervous.
