Ice cream

[Guest guest]

We started SCD 9 days ago on my 2.8 y.o. ASD son. His bowels are shaping up

nicely (and his behavior is improving daily). My mother made for him the

" ice cream " in the Healing Tummies cookbook--with the eggs, cinnamon, honey,

etc. (I realize this is a little soon on the diet to do this.) We gave him

about three bites to test it last night and, of course, he loved it.

I was thinking of *eventually* using the " ice cream " ever so sparingly for

ABA reinforcers (maybe once or twice per week--only 1/4 cup each time). What

I am concerned about though is that the eggs are raw. This makes me feel

pretty uneasy. What are other's thoughts/experiences with this?

Thank you,

Audrey
