refuses veggies and fruit except in muffins

[Guest guest]

Hi it is again, does anyone have any ideas on how to get my

daughter to eat veggies or fruit. She will try anyhting but she will

spit it out almost immediately. She will eat muffins and pancakes that

has it. Any suggestions please. Is it bad if her typical day consists

of muffins, raisins, juce, hot dogs or meatballs,peanut butter

brownies, and eggs.

Thank you

IF you daughter has sensory issue (like many with ASD) it might be the

texture of the fruits and vegtables that she does not like. If she

likes peanut butter, she may like the fruits and veggies if they are

pureed like baby food to give a more smooth texture verses a bumpy and

limpy texture.

One of my son and daughter's favorite is green pudding which is

avacado and a ripe bannana pureed together. They love it!

Hope this helps!

or try making them into ice pops. sometimes the change in temperature

also helps. sometimes making it the texture of something else they do

like or making it the shape of something else they like helps. using a

straw to suck up the pureed veggies or fruit? or making a smoothie of

it? or finger painting in it? (if this is a sensory issue this is a

real strategy used at feeding clinics, and by OTs for getting friendly

and safe with a new texture).

What about trying to puree the fruit and serve it like applesauce,or

poured over a plain she may not be able to tell that its actually

fruit?..don't know too much new to the diet, only since this week.

Or I find bribery works really well, you eat this and I will let you

play " playstation " for 10 minutes.

its not bad, do remeber that you are doing the best for ur child

with

the resources at hand. ;-)

ur doing better than me, fian wudnt eat anything for 10 days!! i

had

to strt him on banana pancakes and that was all hed eat for 4 days,

he

still isnt a great eater now, 1/4 of a banana, 4 eggs, grape juice,

pear juice, chicken, odd bit of cooked pear, with eggs of course,

everything with eggs, or forget it. basically.. but hes growing and

hes happy and looks healthy

as regards sensory issues, kai cudnt tolerate any meat before we

began, we were originally gf/cf and within 2 mths of being on that

diet he began to be able to cope with all types of meats.

Personally i wud also pull the raisins, they have mould and fungus

that the bacteria love, and dont panic, she wont starve, follow the

others suggestions of pureeing everything into the muffins,-- i have

done this with fian successfully for last 2 days, with a a tiny

amount of honey persuasion

" Is it bad if her typical day consists of muffins, raisins, juice, hot

dogs or meatballs,peanut butter brownies, and eggs. "

,

I am not sure how long she has been on SCD, but it is probably

pretty early to be using raisins. Dried fruits are difficult to digest

and are usually not introduced until late in the diet, once

symptoms have subsided.

As for whether this list of foods is " bad " , that depends more on

how much of each she is getting. If she is not getting enough

carbohydrates, then it could be bad. Kids need carbs to burn for

energy. The idea of SCD is NOT to follow a low carb diet, but to

follow a SPECIFIC carb diet.

Muffins, hot dogs (questionnable, unless you are making them

yourself), meatballs, peanut butter brownies and eggs are all

high in protein and fat. The only thing you listed with many carbs

is the juice and raisins.

So, my answer is Yes it could be bad, but it isn't necessarily bad.

You haven't really given me enough information to be able to

figure out how many calories and carbs/fat/protein for a day.

In the turkey meatballs I put spinach, in the beef meatballs I put sqash, all

the muffins have fruits or veggies and the eggs have spinach in them. I can not

get her to eat the fruits or veggies another way. I am concerned though. In the

beginning she would eat all of what she liked. The last two days she is calmer,

but she is not eating much of her food . For instance yesterday she ate a few

bites of egg w/spinach, 1 1/2 peanut butter brownies, some pork skins, and afew

bites of bacon and eggs for dinner. I tried so many things yesterday she would

not try them. In the beginning she did try things. Thanks for your help
