have no ides what I'm doing...HELP!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I have a beautiful daughter, , who has an autism dx. We have

been GF/CF for 2 years. I feel she needs something more. We are in

ABA, dev.delay preschool, OT, ST, and she sees many specialists. I

read BTVC, but I could only get ahold of an older version. My first

questions to you are: Can they drink almond milk? Is there

an " acceptable " list of brand name products like on GFCF diet?

Any help would be very appreciated. I guess my mind is just too

full of new, confusing information for the book to have made any

real sense.

Thank you in advance,

Toni Rollan

mom to 4

and 2

Hi Toni,

Welcome to our group!

>Is there

> an " acceptable " list of brand name products like on GFCF diet?

It is a small list .

Tropicana orange juice (not frozen).The fruit blends are not legal.

Heinz tomato juice

Welch grape juice from concentrate

Dole pineapple

There is a company that sells SCD foods called

http://www.digestivewellness.com

They also sell things that are not on their website,so

you can call them up. and ask about the things that are

not on the website,

Many parents are reluctant to do the diet because they fear that the

diet will be a lot of work But once kids are on the diet, the parent's

lives

become so much easier. Why? The children make such a great improvement

that the parents will need to spend less time on teaching and

diciplining their child

..

>Can they drink almond milk?

Most commercial almond milk has illegal ingredients.

Thank you for the reply! I feel so alone doing this diet. We've been GFCF for

2 years with plenty of support, but this diet is new for me. I'm so grateful

for this list!

Does anyone know if guar gum is allowed? I fould no mention of it in BTVC. I'd

like to give some coconut milk, but it has some guar gum in it and I don't

want to mess up!

Our first day on the diet is tomorrow. I'm so excited!

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

-Toni

Mimi,

On the subject of Coconut milk. I was just in Trader Joes and they sell a

light coconut milk that states there are no gums or thickners added.

Wouldn't you think their brand would be legal?

Sheryl,

That's a real find. Can you tell us the brand? IThe Thai Kitchen coconut

milk used to be pure but they've changed it and now add gums to it. If

you've found a pure coconut milk, that opens a lot of options.

Best,

Ann

Sure, It's Trader Joe's Brand. The label says, " Light Coconut Milk. 60%

less fat than regular coconut milk. No thickening agents, such as tapioca,

have been added to Trader Joe's light coconut milk. "

What do you all think?

Sheryl

It would be a good idea to write to the company and get written

verification.There is a lot of hidden ingredients in foods.
