Guest guest Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 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! Randy the Rainman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
