SCD with other allergies?? I'M DESPERATE!!!!

[Guest guest]

I'm desperate! My family and I have so many food allergies I'm running out of

ideas of what to eat. I'm exhausted, frustrated, and just plain don't know what

to do. Please help!

I want to try the SCD because it's completely grain free. While we've been

gluten free for a while, I've noticed that rice and corn aren't really helping

our digestive systems out either, and need recipes that don't include any

grains.

However we also are allergic to casein dairy protein (not just the lactose),

eggs, and soy.

In addition to all of our food allergies/sensitivities, we also are forced to

eat with the seasons (we live in PA, so Eastern US zone), due to cost of food

otherwise. Granted, it's healthier to eat with the seasons so I like that we do

this, but it's also for financial reasons as well.

So with all those " restrictions " , is there ANYTHING we can eat that can actually

be in a " meal format " ?? Or are we just stuck to eating fruits and vegetables

with a side of protein for breakfast lunch and dinner? That just doesn't seem

to be " meal " enough, when I grew up on casseroles, chicken pot pie, fruit

cobbler with ice-cream, and any other " hearty dish " you can think of.

I know our bodies are perishing, and I hate it most for my precious kids (son

will be 3 in January and still doesn't have solid bowels). As a stay at home

mom and wife who loves to cook and provide healthy meals for my family, I need

to know what to feed them!!! We've been dealing with " what to eat? " for 1.5

years now and I just need real answers with real recipes that (for once) won't

hurt us.

Thanks for anyone and everyone who can offer any suggestions, ideas, advice,

etc. I need it desperately!!!

Hi Carissa,

I have mastocytic enterocolitis which means that I have some severe anaphylactic

type reactions to foods. I do not eat any grains. Right now I am intolerant of

all gluten(celiac gene), soy,casein,yeasts.

I can't eat nuts right now either. I have also reacted badly to eggs in the

past.

I usually have some protein like chicken,ground beef,fish with 2 vegetables or

more and some healthy fats.

For breakfast I had chicken with sauteed redcabbage ,onion in olive oil and

coconut oil. I just had a snack of cooked apples and banana in coconut oil. For

lunch I have leftover beef and turkey with cooked carrots and chard with onions.

I will eat 1/2 an avocado with that. I am having seared tuna for dinner with

broccoli and carrots.I will eat more avocado.

The good news is that I am now tolerating ghee ok, where before I couldn't. I

also had a few egg yolks which seemed to be ok.

I do ok with dilute grape jello and grape " soda " which is grape juice with

mineral water.

I am going to try some coconut yogurt that a friend of mine makes and sells with

no added sweeteners.

I have lost ten pounds, but my bloating and abdominal pain are much less and I

have less anxiety.

Hope this helps,

June

hi

i'm so sorry you have to deal with additional allergies - i have empathy as i'm

grain-free, gluten-free, soy-free, egg-free, nut-free, nightshade-free, yeast

and mold free, casein-free, fish-free, low fructose... but having been on the

diet, with these additional restrictions, for about 9 months now i can tell you

my guts are working a lot better. i went on it to AVOID developing additional

intolerances because i know they have a lot to do with intestinal permeability.

so i would recommend starting the diet even though i definitely understand why

you might feel a little overwhelmed. i can tell you i dont crave grains or

sugars anymore and enjoy the soups and dishes i make. there's an adjustment at

first but then it does get easier!

Calm, now, Carissa. Your family isn't perishing. Lots of us on the SCD have

the same problems you do and it does get better. My own was less than 1 when I

started on the food allergy trek for him. He grew up to be not only a normal

human being but in his unbiased mom's opinion a SUPER human being. You're on

the right track. Quit listening to folks who don't have a clue about you and

your family. Keep on keeping on, keep on learning, and keep hanging with great

folks like us!

Hi Carissa,

I started SCD 11 weeks ago, and am SO thankful I found it! I no longer

experience super painful bloating, I sleep much better, and I am no longer

scared to eat things for fear of painful digestion and the body/muscle aches

that seemed to go along with it.

Once you get the hang of SCD, I'd say after a few weeks, you really start to get

to know your body better, and start to see a whole world of yummy options to

eat. I have found so many great wholesome recipes on scd websites and in the

book Breaking the Vicious Cycle. I make fruit cobblers constantly now, my

favorite is one with blueberries (blueberries have proven to be great for

digestional healing).

A few cups blueberries (or other fruit)

1 cup ground almonds (whole or blanched)

1/4 cup melted butter (or other oil)

2 huge spoonfuls of honey

sprinkle baking soda (1/2 tsp)

dash dalt

Place berries in greased dish. Mix all other ingredients together. Bake at 350*

for 45 minutes.

I really enjoy a dollop of dripped yogurt served on top too. I realize your

family can't eat dairy, I myself didn't eat dairy for the past 3 years while I

was gluten free/dairy free. But now that I have started SCD, I find I can

tolerate aged cheeses like cheddar and 24 hour yogurt just fine - and I assumed

I would go the rest of my life w/o diary. Now everyone is different, so I

totally understand if the experience is not the same for you.

Another new favorite SCD grain free recipe is butternut squash pie. I use 3

eggs, but I assume you could still give it a shot without eggs. Maybe just

pureed squash, cinamon, oil (butter), coconut milk (instead of dripped yogurt),

and honey baked over thinly sliced apples (apples make a great " crust " ) or a

simple almond flour pie crust. see full recipe on my blog:

http://farmgirldiet.blogspot.com/

I also find myself BBQ'ing all the time now. I LOVE BBQ'd chicken, and often BBQ

a bunch on Sunday for the week ahead. It goes great with grilled asparagus. I

like you, live on a " local diet " I currently live 80 miles from the nearest

grocery store, and I am on a very limited income - so I rely heavily on locally

grown fruits, veggies and local meats. This was very frustrating at first, but

now I have really worked out the kinks, and am enjoying my life on the SCDiet!

Good luck - I really hope you try it!!

Thank you June for your recipe ideas. Feel free to share many more! =) I feel

like I have searched long and wide for " SCD Vegan Recipes " (which is basically

covering all of our allergies in a nutshell), only to find nothing out there. I

find grain free cookbooks, and I'll find vegan cookbooks, but not both together!

I do have a question for you though: How did you come up with some of those

meals? Do you just buy a bunch of random stuff at the market that you can have,

and then figure out how to eat it together? (I'm sorry if that sounds " cold " , I

don't mean it like that! I'm just trying to figure out how and what to feed my

family!)

Well thank you again for taking the time to share all you did, and I appreciate

your meal ideas, as well as welcome any more you feel like giving!

Sincerely,

Carissa

Thank you so much Whitney for that testimonial and encouragement!!! It's

refreshing to hear that you CAN get better! =) When we first learned about our

son's severe peanut allergy 2 years ago (which then lead us down the path of

discovering many food allergies amongst all of us) a friend told me to do the

SCD, but because of the dairy and egg inclusion I passed it on thinking it

wasn't possible. Some things I can figure out how to " substitute " , but many

things I can't (ex. eggs in a casserole - flax just doesn't work the same in

that instance! hahaha). Would you mind sharing with me (if you have the time

and energy) several recipes and/or meal ideas you use? The more the merrier so

I can actually succeed at feeding my family food that is GOOD for them! =)

Again, thank you! And I wish you the best with your own set of allergies as

well! (Oh, and yes, I agree with the other poster - you DO need a shirt with

that on it! hahaha) How have you survived? I mean, sometimes it's just so

overwhelming and stressful (especially when what I am doing isn't even working

completely) that I get tempted to just go out and get a big pizza! LOL You are

definitely an inspiration to multiple food allergists everywhere! =)

I know it may seem like I'm at my whit's end, but that's because, well, I AM!

=) We began this journey with food allergies a week after my son turned 1.

While it has been a huge blessing (in that my husband and I discovered that

MANY, if not all, of our life-long problems were caused by food allergies we

never knew we had), it's also been a very tiring, stressful, overwhelming, and

frustrating journey that often feels hopeless. The only hope I have is that ONE

DAY I am going to have the " perfect recipe box " that contains delicious recipes

for morning, noon, and night, of food that HELPS us instead of hurts us. For

the last 2 years we have discovered allergy after allergy (or intolerance,

depending). Much like Whitney, I feel like I keep adding to my list right when

I feel like I have a set of meal plans down. So I (once again) throw them all

out the window and begin anew, hoping THIS time I will find something that works

(or rather, WON'T discover something that doesn't). And also like I mentioned

in another reply to this post, there really aren't any meal ideas or recipe

books for " Soy-free SCD Vegan " (which, in a nutshell, covers all of our

allergies). I'm about ready to hand my son a whole cucumber with a spoonful of

almond butter for breakfast and say " here, eat up! "

I thank you for your encouragement that things DO get better. But while

encouragement is much appreciated, and even needed, what I REALLY need is

practical ideas!!! As a woman I'm sure you know the inward agony of not knowing

what to feed your family (or worse, feeling like you are hurting your family by

the meals you cook!), but not knowing what to do about it. I need recipes! I

need meal ideas! Even simply substitution ideas would help tremendously! While

" perishing " may be a strong word, I do know that we are getting sicker (not

better), and I feel like I'm the one to blame or applaud, depending on what I

feed us. It's one thing for just my husband and I to suffer (as much as I hate

for us to suffer!), but it's another for my 3 year old and 8 month old! As a

mother who is supposed to heal boo-boos, and fix broken dolls, etc., it's so

difficult to think I can't feed my family what we need - and all because I just

don't have the right recipes in my hand.

I'm sorry --- I just realized I just went on a tangent. My apologies! I'm just

physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted with this. Thank you again for

your encouragement -- It's wonderful to know things do get better! =) I just

hope I can discover the tools needed for that to happen. =)

Sincerely,

Carissa

,

Thank you SO much! I love how you gave me some recipes and resources. THAT'S

what I need!!! I do have a couple of questions for you though...

1. Are you going to continue adding more and more recipes or meal ideas to your

blog? (please say YES! Although with moving I can imagine a hiatus may be in

order) =)

2. Would it be possible to give " substitutions " with your recipes on your blog?

Or maybe even just to me personally? I really appreciated below how you gave

some substitutions for things like butter or yogurt. If I could discover

substitutions then I wouldn't have near the amount of difficulty finding SCD

recipes! Right now that's been my biggest challenge, is because so many recipes

have something we're allergic to in them! I know I can substitute flax seed for

eggs, but that probably won't work for things like a casserole or quiche. But

if you could give me some help specifically with substitutions that would

probably help greatly!!! Then I wouldn't fear getting some of the SCD

cookbooks, but not being able to use most of the recipes! =)

Also, that was very encouraging to hear that you can tolerate some dairy now

after doing the SCDiet! How long were you on the diet before you tried some

dairy? And even now, do you eat it frequently, or on a rare occasion?

Again, thank you SOOO much! You've really helped me out so much just in the one

reply! =) I just hope you don't mind me picking your brain about all this! =)

And I will definitely be following your blog! Just keep a postin'! OH, and

also, please share any names of cookbooks that you found to be the most helpful

when going SCD (if you don't mind). =) And Congrats on the dream house and Mr.

Right!!!

<g> Peel and cook the cucumber when you're first on the diet.

Seriously, things DO get better.

Instead of focusing on what you CAN'T have, try focusing on what you CAN

eat. Then post us a list and we can see what we can help you

with.

Hi Carissa,

Thanks so much for the kind reply! I hope to keep blogging! I am spending more

time packing right now, and used to do another regular " country living " blog for

a couple years, but now that SCD has made such a difference in my life, I feel

like blogging about it And yes, good idea, I will make sure to always add in

substitutions.

I had a rough time with SCD at first, it seemed like two steps forward, two

steps back, but when I hit 2 months, I could tell for sure I was making HUGE

progress, and now as long as I have a freezer full of fruit, squash on the

counter, a large jar of almonds, and some meat on hand, a little bit of yogurt,

I am feeling pretty awesome. Better than I have in years. I kinda pushed it at

first, and jumped around eating foods that were considered " advanced " but then I

backed off a bit, and resorted back to lots of squash & zucchini and lots of

smoothies. I find that if I eat something I can't handle well, like tomatoes,

then my tummy gets super upset, then I just jump back on smoothies & squash &

chicken for a couple days. Anyhow, I could handle almond flour pretty well after

one week on the diet, but as each days goes by, I can't get over how much better

I handle everything. Oh, and I personally suggest making your own almond flour

using a food processor and either whole almonds or blanched slivered almonds, it

is WAY CHEAPER than buying premade almond flour - plus I feel way better after

eating my own almond flour then the store bought stuff.

As far as dairy - I got a $30 yogurt maker on amazon 10 days into the diet, and

really feel in love with the dripped homemade yogurt - it's really creamy if you

drip it in a cone coffee filter for a couple of hours, swirl in some honey, and

then put it on pie, cobbler or almond/carrot cake. Having a huge dose of

probiotics was a total relief in the beginning, after the whole experience of

die off for 2 days, feeling dizzy, zero energy, faint, and was even told I

looked " green " , well, and then through the first week my gut felt totally raw,

as all the bad bacteria were being starved out. Having yogurt made it feel

soothed. I would suggest that if your family doesn't try the yogurt, that you at

least try some other (scd legal) probiotics to help replenish the good bacteria,

and help with the healing. Or try making almond or coconut yogurt (a lot more

work though!)

I tried cheese two weeks into the diet, but couldn't quite handle it, then I

tried it five weeks in, and have no problems at all with cheddar - I don't know

how I went so long without it. Now I eat it all the time.

I was just thankful to find SCD, because it was getting REALLY complicating

figuring out what I could eat pre-scd. I was gluten free/ dairy free for a long

time, but then I cut out processed sugars, and then corn & soy were giving me

problems too, sounds like its similar in your family. Now everything is so

simplified - and I avoid just about everything with a " list of ingredients " on

it and go right to the whole food source. So much easier than stressing over

which things I could eat before.

Another life savor recipe for me is smoothies in the morning. I buy a few

bunches of bananas, let them get ripe with spots, then peel them and chop them

up and freeze them. When you puree the frozen banana chuncks a food processor,

it makes a soft serve like " ice cream " . I then add blueberries, cherries,

vanilla, cinamon, or almond butter. Peanut butter tastes amazing with the banana

too, but I for some reason can't quite handle peanut butter now that I am on the

SCDiet, so I stick with almond butter.

Oh, and flax seeds aren't " scd " legal - sorry! Did you see the legal/illegal

list yet: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/legal/legal_illegal_a-c.htm

But I believe some folks are using gelatin as a sub for eggs in certain recipes.

Oh, and I found I could handle lettuce really early too, and at two months I was

eating lentils & black beans without problems. The suggested stages on

pecanbread are a huge help: http://pecanbread.com/p/how/stages.html

but don't be afraid to find out what works for you guys - everyone advances

through the foods at a different pace. I strongly suggest cooking your fruits at

first, making pear sauce, cobblers, etc, or at least pureeing them in a food

processor - I can handle most raw fruits just fine if they are in a smoothie,

but say for example a raw whole apple w/ the peel still keeps my gut up at night

- harder to digest.

There are also lots of yummy seafoods out there that are great on the BBQ - like

salmon, shrimp, and tuna. Spaghetti squash is fun to eat too - great with ground

beef & garlic. BBQ'd steak is great!

One more resource you might like that breaks down the recipes into vegan, scd,

and gluten free is : http://flipcookbook.com/

After you graduate from a few days on the " intro " diet, and start moving through

the food stages, I found that my favorite dish for lunch was a simple " cashew

delight " . I would saute chopped celery, onions, garlic, cashews, and chicken

(optional), I mean really saute the veggies so they are really well cooked -

then season with salt & pepper. It was very similar to chinese take-out.

I am very excited for you and your family!!!

I post some my recipes on a blog. I have a tag for gfcf, nut free and

gfcf/nutfree. There may be some you can use.

http://mrsedsresearchandrecipes.blogspot.com A site called flip cookbook has

SCD vegan recipes. My son had to be on a SCD plus rotation diet for awhile, it

really helped. The lab that did his ELISA IgG food allergy panel gave us a 4 day

schedule of foods to eat and I just fixed the SCD legal ones. tte Dumke

has a food allergy book that helped with roatating too. Most of the recipes in

the book were not SCD, but the rest of the info was very helpful. She was also

on the SCD herself and you can email her questions.

Best of luck!!!!!

eat with the seasons (we live in PA, so Eastern US zone), due to cost of food

otherwise. Granted, it's healthier to eat with the seasons so I like that we do

this, but it's also for financial reasons as well.

> So with all those " restrictions " , is there ANYTHING we can eat that can

actually be in a " meal format " ?? Or are we just stuck to eating fruits and

vegetables with a side of protein for breakfast lunch and dinner? That just

doesn't seem to be " meal " enough, when I grew up on casseroles, chicken pot pie,

fruit cobbler with ice-cream, and any other " hearty dish " you can think of.

will be 3 in January and still doesn't have solid bowels). As a stay at home

mom and wife who loves to cook and provide healthy meals for my family, I need

to know what to feed them!!! We've been dealing with " what to eat? " for 1.5

years now and I just need real answers with real recipes that (for once) won't

hurt us.

etc. I need it desperately!!!
