Re: not sure what to feed my kid

[Guest guest]

While I can't promise you'll have a different result, I'm guessing that your son

will have a much easier time with the vegetables than you expect. Taking the

polysacarides out of his diet makes digestion much easier. It is the starches

and long chain sugars that cause the most trouble, not the vegies.

I used to love coffee but was unable to drink it. Even a spoonful made me

very sick. When I started SCD and Elaine said weak coffee was OK, I didn't

believe her. One day the aroma won me over and I tried a cup. I didn't have a

problem at all and now enjoy it regularly.

I would try the diet as it's written, slowly, a little at a time. Chances are

he'll do fine. If you find that your son does have a problem, I would look into

the possibility of his being sensitive to fenols.

Good luck!

He won't eat anything apple, except the peel (he likes to eat the peel off and

then give someone else the rest of the apple). He hates anything pear and

anything sauce. I might be able to get popsicle applesauce into him.

Eggs are a love/hate thing for him. He currently hates them. I used to mix

pureed vegetables in with eggs to make them taste more interesting. That is the

only way he will eat a pureed vegetable. He wouldn't eat this tonight, since he

is anti-egg at the moment. He won't eat ground meat, so I can't hide them in a

burger.

So that means he can only eat meat & the only meat he will eat is chicken or

turkey. How do you get a person past the intro if they can't break down any well

cooked vegetable and won't eat them pureed? I just collected stool samples from

him this past week. Since I eliminated all of his starchy carbs, the cooked

vegetables came thru looking like chewed vegetables & nothing more.

Well here's one idea. le posted this a while ago and these

nuggets have really taken off. Many people are putting in pureed

veggies instead of the mayo, so that might work for your picky eater.

1-First I made the cooked mayonaise from the pecanbread website,

2-Then I boiled a pound of boneless chicken breasts.

3-Finely chop the chicken in a food processor.

4- Mix the chicken, mayonaise, salt, and pepper to taste.

(Basically you are making chicken salad)

5- Form spoonfuls of the chicken mixture into " nugget " shapes.

6-Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

They come out crispy! Zack just loved them. Great dipped in homemade

ketchup too!

Also you can make chicken salad with chicken and avocado. You could

make meatloaf and hide pureed veggies in there. You can hide veggies

in a smoothy (I don't do think but do a search of the list; I know

people have talked about it.) Would he eat soup? You can puree the

veggies and put them in the soup.

And periodically keep trying the things he won't eat right now. His

tastes will most likely change.

Good luck,

No, he LOVES vegetables -- just not pureed and he likes meat, as

long as it's not ground (ie: will not eat hamburger/meatloaf --

won't touch a chicken nugget). He will only eat chicken or turkey

breast or drumsticks. He basically won't eat anything in a form

where anything can be mixed in (because he wants to make sure

nothing is mixed in). He loves soup if he can see all the

vegetables, but not pureed soups like butternut, pumpkin or split

pea.

He's actually not a picky eater in the typical sense. I used to

call him my " gourmet child. " He loves exotic dishes and spicey

ethnic foods, never cared for the typical kids fare of nuggets and

fries.

Is it possible to do the intro diet and then just do meat and

legal/cooked fruits for a time and then add in cooked whole

vegetables?

Are you saying after the intro diet to go straight to cooked whole

vegetables?
