Besides Celery, what does he limit himself too. Be specific, because most

likely the food he self limits to the most is the culprit and needs to be

removed.

Yes, we do supplements, yes, we do chelation etc.

When you figure this out let me know will ya?

My son is essentially a vegetarian. He will not eat meat. We did finally

find a 100% organic beef hotdog hw would eat so thats it. NO VEGETABLES. I

think about doing the SCD all the time, but there is no way he will eat meat

and veggies. He will eat fruit, cereal, PBJ, popcorn, chips, and pancakes.

My 12 y.o. nephew w/ HFA was telling me about the food pyramid today and knows

the recommended number of servings for each group. I asked him what he eats

from the fruit groups...grapes and apples. Vegetable group...carrots.

Meat... " I'm a strict vegetarian " ...I mentioned that beans and nuts also qualify

for the protein group and he says he doesn't eat either. Everything else comes

from dairy, sweets, and grains.

When he was younger his parents attended support groups and said the group

members introduced themselves by naming the 6 foods their children would eat.

Celery is high in sodium. Some ASD kids also lick their hands/skin...(for the

salt?)

My son does not tolerate most vegetables, so it might be that celery

is the only vegetable your child knows WON'T cause him to have

problems. My son does not tolerate orange/red/green foods, even with

enzymes. Fortunately this is improving and he now can eat small

quantities without problems. But I still must avoid larger

quantities.

For some kids, supplements cause problems and make them not want to

eat because the SUPPLEMENTS are making them feel sick. What

supplements do you give? Consider removing all or some of them, then

see if he will start eating again. Then add back one at a time to

find the problem/s.

Or consider enzymes

Wow...it never occurred to me...my son often licks his Pringles chips before

eating it...so what does it mean? He's craving salt/sodium? Do I need to do

something about it?

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that. If he'll drink juice consider

making fresh veg juice with celery in it. Others on the list have said some

kids will also put salt from the shaker in their hands and eat it straight.

Have you tried digestive enzymes? They helped when I was at the worst of my

mercury poisoning and weighed only 82 lbs., got me back up to 100 lbs. at the

time (I'm 5'6 " and my natural weight is 105-110 lbs. I think others on the list

have said that their kids have expanded the list of what they'll eat after going

on enzymes.
