Re: sensory problems with meats

[Guest guest]

My daughter has this exact same problem due to severe sensory issues. I

have found she does better with a meatloaf. If you need any recipes let me

know. Also if the meat is soft like in a crock pot stew or in a chili with

other things mixed in and simmered for awhile, she absolutely loves that.

She really hates plain hard to chew meat. Also you can marinate meats to

make them easier to eat.

I know where you are coming from; except Sam is the opposite-he gags

on soft protein. He hates hamburgers, meatloaf and eggs. Spits them

out as soon as possible!

Have you tried the chicken tots from peacanbread.com or croquettes

frpm BTVC. I liked both but Sam wouldn't touch them. The croquettes

were especially good with garlic and served with SCD mayo.....yum!

Also the cashew butter muffins are a yummy way to get eggs and nut

butter. There's also the chicken pancakes and chicken muffins from the

pecanbread site. Sam wouldn't eat those either, so I bet your little

one would love them!

I am assuming that you cannot do nut flours yet, but the midas gold

waffles are great and I have successfully doubled the mixed nut

pancakes/flat bread recipe and cooked flat on a 13x9 pan to make

bread. Sam loves a pb sandwich with this. It's also a good way to

cook pancakes all at once; I hate standing over the stove trying to

flip SCD pancakes! I haven't gotten it right yet without it taking

hours to get them all cooked! LOL

Good luck with your food experiments; there defintely lots of us here

who understand.

Help!

I too am having problems with my 4 yr old and sensory issues with meat! Even

meat he used to eat, he screams when he sees it on the plate. I have tried

forcing him to eat it with a fruit chaser, which works sometimes and other

times he gags and throws up everywhere! I don't know what else to do.

try getting it ground very fine or put it through the pulp function of a juicer

or use a food processor and hide it mixed right into a pancake batter or baked

into a muffin.

Have you tried cooking chicken, either boiling in a pot or cooking in a crock

pot, until it is literally falling apart in strings? Same with beef? Luke will

literally eat one string at a time. He doesn't like to have to chew his meat,

at ALL, he'll gag too. Also, fish works well for him because it just mashes

down without need for real chewing. Carol's idea of hiding it in muffins or

pancakes it excellent, if you can add other things to cover the flavor.

What about the chicken pancakes or chicken cupcake recipes on

pecanbread.com?

You can't see the meat. Maybe he would eat it.
