Re: Using Dairy with ASD kid and salicylate sensitivity

[Guest guest]

Rosie,

Welcome to the list.

How did you start SCD?

How long ago?

What all is he eating right now?

Also, peanuts are not actually nuts, they are legumes. Reacting

negatively to peanuts does not mean he may not be able to

tolerate true nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, etc.).

We have been doing SCD since July. My biggest question is can you

avoid high salicylate foods and still maintain a ballanced diet on

SCD?

Hi!

There are many of us on the board that are following SCD and

restricting salicylates/phenols, some are more restricted than others.

Peanuts are a med/high sal. There are other nuts that are lower. Sam

does ok with some PB but does have build up reactions so I have to

watch how much he gets.

Cashews and pecans are pretty low sal. We use these fine in any recipe

that calls for almond flour or other nut butters.

My best advice is to do what is best for your child. If you need to

substitute pineapple juice for grape go for it. As long as it's SCD

legal and your child is tolerating it well, then there should be no

problem. Some of the low sal. veggies are harder to digest that

others (ie broccoli and cauliflower.) If your child can tolerate

them, you can add them in earlier; the stages on the pecanbread site

are guide lines, you do not have to follow them to the letter. If,

however, your son seems to be reacting or his stools change for the

worse and don't seem to bounce back, you can always take a step back

and remove the harder to digest foods.

It's very possible to do a low sal. version of SCD.

Here's a list of what Sam gets regularly

Protein - variety of meats, goat cheddar/gouda, goat yogurt

baked goods made with peanut butter, cashew butter or pecan flour,

honey, coconut oil

Fruits/veggies - mango, papaya, banana, pear, lime juice, pineapple

juice, sliced tomatoes (occasionally,) broccoli, cauliflower, green

beans, carrots, occasional snow peas, spinach, kale, cucumbers

Hi Rosie,

Welcome and I wish you the best of luck with this diet. Although my son

occasionally eats a peanut or cookies made with almond flour, he doesn't really

crave it or request it. We also have our son eating some dairy (cheddar, also)

and he seems to be ok with it..

We also took away his peanutbutter because we are concerned about a

salicylate sensitivity. Since we stopped the peanutbutter the

tantrums and irritability have improved. Has anyone had similar

experiences or even the opposite experience. My big concern is that

if he can't have nuts how is he going to stay on this diet?

Thanks,

Rosie
