Many people bake with coconut flour.

Hi -

I will be interested to hear what you find out.

My six year old daughter has tree nut and peanut allergies (anaphylactic) which

we discovered when she was 18 months old. Then she developed asthma, juvenile

arthritis, then uveitis (eye inflammation), and most recently was diagnosed with

ulcerative colitis.

We have been told since the arthritis diagnosis that there is no link to food.

We eliminated other common allergens anyway (when she was two years old), but we

didn't see any improvement. I think my daughter has had UC since the arthritis

diagnosis, but doctors downplayed my concerns because she hasn't had any growth

issues and wasn't bleeding (that we could see) until a year ago.

We started on the SCD 3+ months ago and her inflammation marker is down 200

points (in the 400s). The gastroenterologist said it needs to be in the 150s,

but seeing a downward trend is promising!

We tried baking with coconut flour, but my daughter reacted very poorly to it.

I think it is too advanced for her this early in the diet. I have been baking

with shredded coconut and she doesn't have any problems. Our options are pretty

limited, but we like the BTVC muffins with banana (using 2 1/2 cups of shredded

coconut instead of nut flour). I made a coconut macaroon crust for the SCD

cheesecake for her birthday two weeks ago that came out well (also no nut

flour).

I wish there was another way to bake items without using nut flour, but we have

been experimenting to find some options.

Lindsey's Mom -

I arrived here having gotten into all this through the food allergy route. Both

kidz were allergic to corn, one of them to wheat, and I turned out to have

problems w/ all grains. Trust me, you CAN live without any of them. I know

it's hard to believe if you've been on a typical diet when you came here.

My experience is that if the kiddo feels enough better to recognize the cause,

they'll make the adjustment. Yeah, it's hard at first but you DO adjust... and

it's SO-0-0-0-0 worth it!!!

Blessings,

Artful Carol

past 30 yr. by extremely low-carb, no dairy, no grains allergy/anti-yeast diet,

SCD 01/05. After 35 yrs. no need for allergy shots since SCD! Magnesium/Vits

recovered from serious developmental problems which I believe were

fungally-caused.
