Re: Diet confusion SCD or LOD or just Vitamin K2 or ?? for high ammonia

[Guest guest]

Hi Steph

Joe had a thing for rice cakes too, would eat 2 packets a day if he

could, and came out as mildly intolerant to rice in a york allergy test

I had done years ago. Apparently this is quite common when you

substitute one food group for another, ie rice for gluten.

I read somewhere rice cakes have the highest G.I. reading you can get,

but I'm not sure of the relevance of this!

When I took Joe off rice cakes I gave him corn cakes instead, but when

he came off corn for SCD two years ago he had the worst withdrawals

ever so I wouldn't recommend that.

I am lucky Joe is quite a big boy and eats all the time but I add

avocado to all his baked foods as it is high fat. Low protein SCD is a

hard one though, I am hoping Joe doesnt have that Yasko mutation. I

think Sharon in Surrey had that result so maybe she has some tips to

pass on.

How is Tom with honey?

Steph,

If you think your son might drink smoothies, you might try what we're

doing. Lately we make up smoothies and add canned coconut milk.

High fat, good fat, good for many things. We started out by just

adding a bit, because ds wasn't really fond of the coconut flavour,

but now we can drop in a pretty big scoop and he'll take it.

It can be hard to find stuff that hasn't had a lot added to it. The

best I've found here in Canada is Thai Kitchen Organic. 120 calories

and 10 grams of fat per 60 ml.

You could also try adding the coconut oil (the tasteless kind) to his

pasta sauce. Just a teaspoon here or there shouldn't be noticed but

would add lots of healthy calories.

I've also been trying to create a rice krisp bar recipe that's very

caloric but still healthy. If I ever get it to work (taste is good

but it has no structural integrity yet) I'll post it. Maybe if your

son loves the rice cakes he might like this too.
