Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Another secret I learned a while ago about sneaking in these good foods for picky eaters: I bake pumpkin muffins with a small amount of carob chips so they’ll eat them. I also add flax seed, almond meal, etc. anything I can. To get kale in – I almost choke too! But then I tried to sneak it into meatballs (looks like parsley) and doesn’t taste. I got the whole family to eat it – with sauce, you never know. You have to be creative and not just think about serving these non-kid-friendly foods straight up. I know some kids will eat anything but most of our kiddos are VERY picky and you need a strong arsenal of food choices to get things in!

Wow,congrats to your NT son because I could not choke down kale if I had to, the smell alone walking by in the grocery store is enough to make me gag. Not to mention broccoli, brussel sprouts, and I don't even know what jicama is. To: mb12 valtrex@... Sent: Tuesday, June 9, 2009 10:48:09 AM Subject: What do your kids eat? Here's what my kids eat: Grains: Organic brown rice, millet, amaranth, sorghum, quinoa (NT son only, ASD son can't tolerate quinoa) Fruits: None for my ASD son (due to yeast concerns), NT son eats all fruits except strawberries and pears (he gets eczema from them). Veggies: zuccini, red skinned potatoes for ASD son. He can't tolerate colored veggies. NT son eats all veggies except beets (he's allergic to beets) - spinach, kale, chard, dill, collard greens, eggplant, radishes, okra, brocolli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, green beans, jicama, asparagus, carrots, etc. Meats: Organic/antibiotic free/Hormones free/free range meats - chicken, pork, turkey, lamb, deer, buffalo. My ASD son used to eat all these meats until we discovered that his beta-allanine levels are thru the roof. Beta-allanine is a neurotoxin. So we stopped all meats (animal protien). But my NT son continues to eat meats. Eggs: ASD son could tolerate only egg whites (regressed on yolks), but we stopped egg whites due to the beta-allanine. NT son eats organic eggs. Beans & lentils: organic green lentils. Mung beans, golden lentils, yellow split peas, black beans, red beans, etc. No nuts for either kids - due to allegies and high copper and fungus concerns.
