Re: Still stuck in a picky rut a month later! Ideas?

Sondra,

Did you follow the recipe for sneaky veggie pancakes that is on

Pecanbread.com?

Is there still non-SCD food in the house?

Does she see other people eat regular food at home?

Just trying to get a better idea.

I don't mind you asking questions. Yes, I followed the recipe on

pecanbread.com exactly. I tried it twice with cooked butternut

squash and once with acorn squash. They wouldn't flip over well and

when they did, they were mushy and came apart. She's very picky

about how things look, so since they weren't perfect little circles,

she snubbed them. I tried it slow and low but as soon as I flipped

it, I had problems.

Also, we always eat SCD food when she's eating and only eat non-SCD

when she's not around (like at night). All non-SCD snacks are gone

and all she can see around is SCD cookies, SCD cake, etc. She

doesn't act like she's looking for any real food but she does ask

for it out of nowhere.

Thanks, Sondra

" They wouldn't flip over well and when they did, they were mushy and

It takes a LONG time to make these. Patience is a definitely virtue

for making them.

Here is exactly how I do it (maybe it will help).

Mix everything according to the directions.

Use 1/4 cup of batter at a time.

Turn the heat on the burner to medium (this is halfway).

Spray the pan with oil and place on burner.

Wait until the pan is hot.

Pour the batter into the pan.

Then stand there and be really patient. You can't try to flip it

until it is done enough on the first side to not tear. Keeping the

heat low will help it set through without burning it.

Just guessing I think it must take 4-5 minutes at least on the first side.

These do not cook quickly like wheat/gfcf pancakes.

Are you diluting the grape juice? All juice should be diluted at this point. And

if you are using a store bought pear juice, you should know that there is no

legal one..... so you'd have to be juicing your own.

Unless everything was going absolutely brilliantly, I would just suggest you

eliminate EVERY possible illegal and see if it makes a difference. If she's

drinking a lot of juice, that could actually be whacking her appetite down. It's

natural sugar but...... still sugar and really satisfying, if you know what I

mean. I think the kids sometimes have to be REALLY hungry to try new, " foreign "

foods. The pear juice, unless it's fresh, home-juiced..... would have

higher levels of sorbitol, which can be a problem. The home-juiced variety

might, also..... I'm not sure. I know there were posts on the old list several

months back about the sorbitol in commercial pear and apple juices, but I've

lost my old posts. Maybe someone else could repost it?

Still stuck in a picky rut a month later! Ideas?

Hi all. I hate to post again about this but we've been doing SCD

for over a month. My son is doing better (thanks everyone) and

tolerating a few more foods and my husband has agreed to keep the

kids on it another few weeks. My daughter, however, is still eating

ONLY WAFFLES! I did get a little butternut squash (like 1-2 Tblsp)

into her waffles this last week but now she'll only eat one at a

time instead of 2-3 and is eating a lot less in general- I think

because she can taste the difference. I've tried baking the sneaky

veggie pancakes (which I couldn't get to turn out with 3 different

attempts at temperatures and consisitency- ideas?), peanut butter

cake, squash french fries, Banana P.B. Pancakes, Tortillas/Wrap (she

picked at this some), P.B. cookies, Honey chicken, numerous meats,

veggies and fruits prepared and baked different ways. Even after a

long month of SCD, this morning she still asked for Rice for

breakfast. She's even stopped eating apples and bananas. Btw,

she's only 3 and only has a few words (mostly non-verbal) so I'm

really playing a guessing game to know what she's thinking.

Can you guys give me some more ideas of what to try next? Or how I

can get the sneaky veggie pancakes to work? I'm a little worried

that she's STILL living off just Waffles -oh! and White Grape Juice

and Pear Juice.

I'd appreciate ANY more ideas. Thank you all.

When I make SCD pancakes, ESPECIALLY the ones without nut flour, I

make one soupspoon-full at a time - that is, each pancake is one

soupspoonfun of batter (about 1 T). They are about 2 inches in

diameter.

Especially at first, I cut them up before I put them in front of my

kids - that way, they had no idea if they were well-shaped or not.

Now I've gotten better at getting them round, and my kids don't care

as much if they ARE round.
