Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Jody(or anyone) Due to allergies, my son is eating turkey, carrots, squash and pears. (that's it!) He eats four times a day and at least 25 oz (pureed) each time. Does this seem like enough nutrition? We do use supplements but are holding off for now to see if they have been contributing to some of his eczema. I would like an opinion on his foods. He sometimes eats zuchini and I am considering avocado. When I cooked his carrots (thoroughly) but didn't puree them..some still came out in his bm. I would like to start making him carrots and butternut squash in the oven with olive oil again, do you think it is too soon? He has been on the diet for 6wks and is still having the sludgy diarrhea(but the same frequency-usually 2 to 4 times a day) It is VERY grainy like sand, is this the pears or something else?

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 hi, i hope i can help with some sludge = die off (usually) is he fully allergic or intolerant? i blend in zucchini with our carrots, it does make them a little sweeter avocado is wonderful, its a complete meal - as to wether hell cope? i can only say its worth a try, its a truely valuble asset to anyones diet and can often be easily digested is he intolerant to peaches or apricot? these can be wonderful blended up as a dessert id personally just drizzle 1/8tsp of olive oil into the pureed squash, just to make sure first - when u say roasted, will you be mashing it after? grainy is good, from what i gather, this is die off and remnants of bacteria hth kind regards emma kai 7 asd dspx fian 2 both a bit sludgy at the mo > Jody(or anyone) > > Due to allergies, my son is eating turkey, carrots, > squash and pears.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Emma, Thank you so much for your post, I hope it is still die off. I can't help but to get nervous. He can tolerate peaches, but I thought they weren't allowed until a later stage? How long? Usually when I bake the squash, I put olive oil on bottom of pan and let him eat like finger food. May be too soon for that? Thanks again, Tammy Peyton(asd 2.2)(scd 7wks)(eczema 2 yrs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 personally speaking, i wudnt withold something that he wasnt intolerant too, but id like sheila to clarify that if possible. If hes tolerating and coping with squash, they are at stage 2 as are peaches, so theres a good chance that they will be okay, id start small and see how u go ive recently introduced the nut butter muffins - stage 2 foods as well, and the boys are coping with these but and it may worth a try in a week or 2 to have a go and see how hed cope with these-sweetened with peach puree these'd be lovely, we use filiberts - blanched and peeled - very time consuming but it makes them far more digestible - they cudnt cope with the skin at all what went in went out but now they manage great, i also put the pecans in as well while i blanch the filiberts to soften them, grind them all up to butter in my coffee grinder and u have a relatively easy digestible muffin base - just add eggs and whatever u wud like to 'hide' in them id be wary of baking veg at this stage, i prefer to steam and boil/simmer all at the mo inc meat, its just more efficient at breaking down the cellulose around the vegetables and u can always use the veg juice for cooking further down the line i know how u feel about getting nervous, when we first started the diet both boys bms were perfect, now fian is sludgy, -- but re our earlier post mcbride we have stopped the juice so im hoping thats die off too, i think u have to trust ur instincts and just do what feels right its a regular minefield all this, but i have to say the boys are improving fast, both lads appear to be tolerating some stage 3 foods now that i put in soups and blend up so that they can be easily digested - the wild thing is that when we were just gf/cf - the foods that they have had the last few days always called red ears/face and now they havent :-) where theres light theres hope!! hth kind regards emma kai 7 aad dspx fian 2 scd 7 weeks > Emma, > > Thank you so much for your post, I hope it is still > die off.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 re witholding foods that he wasnt intolerant too - sounds awful - i meant that dont feel worried about introducing them at the right stages, u are moving into stage 2 as he is able to cope with squash, so if ur comfortable with the idea, go for it - if u need further clarification go to http://www.pecanbread.com/foodprep.html to view the stages hth em > > Emma, > > > > Thank you so much for your post, I hope it is still > > die off.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Em, No need to worry, anyone trying to help me is appreciated. He can't have any of the nuts(true allergy) or Eggs (TA ige) I know he has severe dysbiosis. Sometimes when he naps and his hair is sweaty, it smells of ammonia, and Shaw said that was usually a sign of dysbiosis (or possibly urea cycle defect, which is rare) He tested allergic to bananas (even though he had eaten them) and I don't want to do apples due to phenol plus yeast, that is another reason I hadn't added the peaches back yet. Between his allergies and limits of SCD, there is not much to eat. Before SCD he at a LOT of sweet potatoes and rice. He weighs about 26 lbs and is 25 mos old. I am wondering about weights and ages of other ASD or IBS children. Thanks for your help again!

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 ok no probs, in that case id avoid the fruit for a few mths, and the sludge must surely be die off fian has dreadful candida and we are at the same stage, 7 weeks in, still icky and im still giving him cooked veg no raw unlike kai who seems to be coping surprisingly well and has an enormous appetite. will he have soup? fian is managing most veg except spinach in soup, well simmered and blended, i add 1 tsp of olive oil, blend in meat off chicken legs or lamb chump steaks. Fian sounds very like ur lad i must say, the same same sweaty, ammonia smell at nite, I personally think at this stage, if his diet is so limited, i wud try giving him soups of tolerated veg even if they are considered to be later stage foods, im sure that he will cope with it, i think u have to get to a point of doing scd but at the same time getting the child as much nutrients as possible and i find that making it all in soup and finely blending it all, he will find it more easily digestible and able break it down as opposed to just serving it up - we have certainly had no trouble with that in that way, as sheila said to me, u get to a stage where you have to put in something that the child will eat even if technically it is at a later stage, if hes unable/refusing everything to eat. fian also has eczema, he is 27 mths and 30 lbs, so dont panic, hes doing great!!! :-) hth emma kai 7 asd dspx fian 2 great mood again scd 7 weeks hth good luck > Em, > > No need to worry, anyone trying to help me is appreciated. > He can't have any of the nuts(true allergy) or Eggs (TA ige) > I know he has severe dysbiosis.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Hi Tammy, >He can tolerate peaches, but I thought they weren't allowed until a later stage? Whatever he can tolerate is what you should give him. If referring to the beyond the intro chart on pecanbread.com that is a guide to help give those an idea what we have have seen from years on the children group. There is no set time frame, nor set order to introduce food. You have to see what your child tolerates and is ready for. >when I bake the squash, I put olive oil on bottom of pan and let him eat like finger food. May be too soon for that? Best thing to do is try a little and see his reaction. That will tell you a couple of things: how he is with squash and how he is with oil. If you start with a small amount and work up you can get a clearer picture of his reaction and if there are any setbacks it won't be as bad as if you introduced a lot of it the first time. So maybe start with 1/8 - 1/4 cup. Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Thanks Sheila, We are dealing with really high arabinose, would you go ahead and give him the peaches? He has eczema (all the time), so it is hard to tell by his skin what he tolerates. He literally has rash on his body at all times just in varying degrees. Do you think SCD works on the aneorbic bacteria as well? My doctor wants to use antibiotics, and I am skeptical, do you know of a board that I could check for others who have used these therapies along with SCD. His labs are so elevated, I am afraid that his doctor (even though a DAN) may not be supportive of SCD. On the bright side: Peyton has decreased hyperactivity, better eye contact and is trying to say a few more words ...YIPEE!!

I think that if he has decreased hyperactivity, better eye contact and his speech is improving and still has rashes that he is going through die off. It sounds as if you are going in the right direction. If you can continue to puree his carrots I think that would be best for now. The grainy stools are also usually signs of (reported by many) of microbial (including yeast) die off. If you can add in epsom salt baths and/or activated charcoal this may help somewhat. see http://pecanbread.com/badreaction.html I'd only try the peaches cooked and maybe even pureed at this point. If you want to try them just use a little bit for a few days gradually increasing it. That way you can guage his reaction more effectively and take it out or reduce if reacting poorly. It may be better to try and add in some avocado before the peaches though. It will help fill him up and supply good fats etc. What some do and find effective at the beginning is to add the avocado to ground meats and make meatballs or meatloaf.

His GPL test was about 2 months prior to SCD. The arabinose was 566.(range of 0-47) He has not been tested for avocado, but I think I will try some of that next. He really needs more foods. I usually won't try things unless they have been tested, he is severely allergic to MOST foods. His reactions are usually anaphylactic type so I am very careful. I am hoping the eczema (rashes) will get better after die off, poor little guy itches a LOT! Any ideas on getting good omegas without fish oil and scd compliant? The fish oil has vit e (which is from soy) and he also has tuna allergy, so I have opted not to use it, which makes me sick because of all the wonderful reports I have heard from people using it. Oh, and I just started zinc supplementation yesterday, i only used about 1/4 capsule. We give him epsom salt baths(1 cup) every other night. I have bought activated charcoal from Kirkmans.....does anyone have any experience with this? Peyton is 25-26 lbs.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 we use activated characoal all the time for help with die off. Our DAN doctor suggested four times a day during bad times as long as its not within one hour of food or supplements. Hard to do. The characoal expels a lot of gas for Cameron and sometimes helps with spacey and giddiness. , mom to Cameron 3.9 ASD and Peyton 19 months SCD 5 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
