Starting a 3 year old on SCD

[Guest guest]

I am the father of Ben, who will turn 3 in January. I have Crohn's

disease and have been on the SCD for 6 months with great results.

Ben has not yet been diagnosed, but exhibits some symptoms of high

functioning ASD. My wife and I are preparing to start Ben on the

SCD within the next few weeks and are looking for some advice on how

to implement the diet for him. He is a very picky eater with a very

limited diet. He eats no meat except commercial chicken nuggets.

He eats virtually no vegetables. He does eat some fruit (apples,

raisins, bananas), nuts, and seeds. He has not exhibited any

obvious GI problems, but based on my experience and history, we feel

that the SCD might be the solution for Ben.

Our questions are as follows.

- What is the recommended approach for young children - cold turkey

or gradual introduction?

- Are there any suggestions for kid-friendly comfort foods that are

legal and can become a new staple in the diet?

- Are there any suggested web sites with recipes for young children?

- Ben is still breast feeding. I assume this is legal on the diet

and encouraged, correct?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks

Todd
