Re: Need Chips and Dairy Advice

I'm concerned about your comment about the salads and fruits. How long have

you been giving her raw fruits and veggies? Also, corn or potato chips are

definitely not SCD legal foods. You could make your own carrot chips by slicing

carrots, and frying them until crisp.

Hi everyone...

We have been SCD (without dairy at all) for about 9 months now, my

daugther is 9 years old full blown autism...

When i started out i kept variety to a minimum as i didnt know how to

cook going into the diet (single dad with no one to guide me!) and that

worked great for a long time since my daughter loves salad, fruit etc...

Its not working anymore. She is refusing to eat her dishes at school

and even is throwing apples and once her entire meal...

So...While we will stay on this diet (for many reasons) forever, i am

needing to expand things...I am baking lots more cookies and banana

breads and things but need advice on adding chips and dairy...

I want to add yogert and butter to her diet. But she is autistic and i

am afraid of adding ANY casein stuff to her diet. What do the autistic

parents out there think of adding yogert and butter?

I want to also add fun crunchy stuff for snacks and am thinking very

hard of adding organic corn chips on the weekends and adding sweet

potato and taro root chips for snacks at school and home (these are the

ONLY chips i can find that dont have corn syrup or sugar or other crap

in them at Whole Foods grocery)...

We have been full SCD (without dairy) up to this point, and quite

frankly have seen no improvement in her autism after 9 months (although

she spends 3 nights a week at her moms and her mom i am certain has

allowed her to cheat here and there so it makes it very hard to

evaluate the full effect of the diet, but thats another rant)...

Advice!

Children with autism improve dramatically with the SCD goat yogurt! Improvements

are

seen in digestion,speech and behavior. The yogurt making process changes the

structure

of the casein and renders it harmless. Most children do tolerate the goat yogurt

if it done

the right way by starting out with a tiny amount and gradually increasing the

amount.

There is no risk in trying since the casein leaves the body after several days.

Corn is a big " no no " as it contains dissaccharides and so is the root beggie

taro. We

make SCD chips with thinly sliced beets, carrot curls and butternut squash. They

are

delicous!

Here are recipes for carrot curls and squash chips:

SCD demands strict adherence and if your daughter is getting " illegals " outside

the home

it could definitely be impairing progress as small infractions cause rapid

proliferation of

bad bacteria. You will need to find a way to dialogue with your 'ex " for the

good of your

child, randy. i know this is not an easy task.

Randy,

I am thinking that you probably have not seen improvement of her autism symptoms

because of all the infractions that are probably happening when she is not with

you.

Did you do the Intro Diet? Did you keep her limited to all peeled and cooked

fruits and veggies for a good long time in the beginning months? Or did you

start right off with salads and raw fruits?

If you add corn chips, tarot or sweet potato chips, she will officially NOT be

on SCD anymore. I don't want to discourage you, but really.... if you do that,

it may be that her diet is somewhat better, healthier, than going back to a

standard American diet (SAD), but she will not truly be on SCD. Plus, if she is

eating illegals foods when she's away from you, every week, then it *could* be

said that she really hasn't been 100% SCD this entire time.

If there was a way you could start completely over from the beginning, and add

foods in the proper order, with no infractions, I'm willing to bet you would see

a better outcome.

Many kids here have started SCD completely dairy free..... then after some

months of healing, have been successfully able to begin using SCD legal GOAT

dairy products, even if they'd been CF for years. You do need to begin very

slowly.... cautiously, though..... with very small amounts.

You can make your own chips in a dehydrator. Depending on how far along she is

in the diet, you can make zucchini chips by slicing (and peeling, if necessary)

zucchini, sprinkle with salt, and dehydrating until crisp (at least 24 hours).

You can make red bell pepper chips (also depending on how far along she is) by

pureeing red bell peppers in a food processor or blender, adding a little salt,

spreading out on a teflex sheet (a solid dehydrator sheet) and drying until

crisp.

As far as your daughter spending nights away from you, you might want to send

her food with her to make sure what she is eating is legal.

Oh, I also wanted to mention that although a lot of parents give their autistic

children dairy yogurt, not all of us do. I, for one, just can't do that. I

didn't want you to think that we are all giving that to our children.

We were not able to add in dairy. Our daughter is not autistic but I

wanted to weigh in anyway... it's just not for everyone, that's all.

We did successfully do goat yoghurt and cheese for a couple of years

but then the enuresis (and something else but I forget what at the

moment... I do remember there were two signs) came back and we tied it

back in, again to dairy.

I'm not saying don't try... because I don't know... I just wanted to

say that we tried it and it wasn't helpful.

Kind regards,
