If he's sick, you should probably wait to begin the diet in full..... although I

firmly believe there is no time like the present to remove grains and sugar.

Yes, you can give the paracetamol for fever.... but if it's in a children's

preparation/liquid, it will undoubtedly have sugar, starch, dyes and

preservatives. I always use an adult tablet, and cut it in half if need be....

to get the appropriate dosage in milligrams that my daughter would take.... then

grind up the tablet and mix in applesauce or honey. There is still some starch

present.... but not nearly as much.

When a child is SICK, or has some other condition for which a medication is

necessary, Elaine Gottschall always said we should go ahead and give the med,

even if a trace of starch is unavoidable. Many medications can be specially

compounded for future use, but if he's sick NOW and has a high fever, you can go

ahead with what you have.

Personally, I don't treat fevers unless they go unusually high. Fever is the

body's way of fighting off viruses and bacteria.... it's the immune system

doing what it's suppose to do! If we always suppress every little fever a child

gets, it's really not allowing their immune system to fully respond and develop

properly. That is my opinion, and is not part of SCD protocol.

Gastoentiritis - good or bad time to start diet

Hi,

I posted earlier to day, but our situation has changed once again.

My son has now developed gastroentiritis, and is asleep in bed with

temperature. We've done the diet for a day, abut I'm sure he's reacted to the

digestive enzymes we gave him (as this has happened before). Is it a good time

to pursue the diet, or should I give him what he wants until he is back on his

feet.

At the moment he is turning down my intro diet of meat balls and butternut

squah.???

Also, can I give him paracetamol, or give him nothing for the temperature?

All the best

Don't give up we just started the diet ourselves this week after

spending the night in the ER. I will tell you that meatballs are a

little rough for a very sore stomach!

We did great with homemade chicken broth, applesauce (very easy to

make- easier than meatballs), pearsauce, and bananas, eggs, liquids -

we found club soda diluted with some juice felt very good!

My daughter was able to move on after 2 days- I have taken about 4

but am doing much better and moved on to some new fruits and baked

chicken and roast is great now as well- put the roast or chicken in

foil in oven on a low temp and bake for designated time- sealing in

the juices makes the meat a little more tender. I have also found

that the organic meats seem to be a little more tender!

Good Luck!

Hi Pete

Sorry that your boy is sick with gastro .We are in southern Ireland

our boy with autism had gastro last week-like everyone else in the

house.He had vomiting and diarrhoea plus temp of 102 he was sick for

48 hours.

We tried to avoid the paracetamol if we could so light clothing plus

sheet in the bed and we cooled him with tepid cloth.(Old vest -across

kidneys tummy etc) this went on during the night and was hard.But the

temp did come down only you can decide if this might work for your

boy.You do not want the temp to go too high.

Our boy has been on diet for about 3 1/2 months plus.While he was

sick I found that a good time to do the intro diet with him.because he

wasn't able to eat much (tummy queasy) and that consisted of chicken

broth over the two days and a little squash in it as well a pinch of

sea salt makes it tasty.If you can get the hard coconut oil a teaspoon

of that will give a little flavour if needs be.

The other thing we found with the butternut squash was that if you

cooked it with raisins or pineapple it tasted better.

Please note that organic raisins are coated with canola oil.(it wont

say this on the label) on the pecan regarding canola site it says

legal but not recommended.

At the moment you should give your son stewed pear cooked with lots

of water and add a spoon of honey to it when cooled down.He should

like this.

If your child is off butter you can use the coconut oil instead in recipes.

Also look at the pecan diet for the recommended stages for introducing

the different foods.

For my guy most days for dinner consists of squash ,meat ,with a

little pineapple or raisins and cooked cucumber digestive enzymes

plus no- phenol

for breakfast variations on avocado sprinkle of sea salt plus oil.Sometimes

-chicken broth.

-stewed pear.

-pretzel or muffin (cranberry or blueberry)

-Banana fritter (nice and easy to cook- beat four eggs mash in two

bananas and a half cut of dessicated coconut mix altogether and cook

in spoon of coconut oil) these are very tasty.

pineapple (called coconut temptation in book scd with taste and tradition)

6 slices of pineapple a few inches apart on a baking sheet.Pre heat

oven to 450 degrees f

beat white of egg with pinch of salt until stiff.slowly add half cup

of honey and then 3/4 of a cup of shredded coconut spoon that mixture

over the pineapple on the parchment paper or baking sheet.Bake for 10

minutes or until coconut is lightly browned.Make sure the pineapple

slices are well drained before you start otherwise it will come out

soggy

or indeed just mash bananas (skin with brown spots)

wishing you all the best and your son a quick recovery.
