Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi Kathy, I don't use honey of peanut butter , I use almond butter, tahini, and pumpkin seed butter. and for a sweetener , I personally use stevia , but really my kids don't care for sweets any more. The texture issues get better , My was so texture sensitive , and now it amazed me at all that she will eat , and she will try everything now. I think the texture issues are linked with the yeast and bad bacteria's. Take care, Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Thanks, I am not using peanut butter but put a little honey back in to use on her pancakes. She doesn't tolerate almond so am using cashew. I use saccharin too usually in a drink. She has totally stopped picking her nails and scratching but the other day I gave her a banana with the no-fenol and she scratched her arm until it was red and irritated. I only used half so need to try it again I guess. The dark circles come and go even as quickly as one day.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 " I gave her a banana with the no-fenol and she scratched her arm until it was red and irritated. " With that type of reaction, I would seriously consider that she may be allergic to bananas. I have never read of a phenol reaction causing someone to itch and scratch. Sounds more like a true IgE allergic reaction to me. Jody mom to -5 and -7 SCD 14 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 You know Jody, you are totally right. But before SCD we introduced them back in with no problem. SCD seems to show you more of the allergy symptoms? We did SAGE testing at DR.Bradstreet's office (supposed to be the best testing available) If anyone is interested the website is : http://www.foodallergytest.com/sage_test.html She showed in the high range when we did it for apple, beef, chicken, codfish, tomato,beet, watermelon, bkrs.yeast, brws.yeast, cocoa, orange, wheat, celery, banana, broccoli,coconut,sugar cane, barley, swt.potato, and also some colorings and additives. She obviously just really can't handle banana. Abby has always " scratched " and " itched " but the nail picking I know comes from the phenols. Thanks for your input.
