Re: Problem with food textures

My son has been on the diet for about 3 weeks now, and is still really

limiting his foods. He is nine and has tactile issues. When eating

GFCF he always wanted crunchy foods, chips, bacon, and so forth. Now

I am really having a problem getting anything soft or smooth in him.

I tried pearsauce, broth, squash, and he gags. I'm just wondering if

this will get better the longer he is away from the crunchy foods he

use to eat, and will he expand his food choices eventually? Everything

he wants are the things he shouldn't have for a few months, like

cheese, almond cookies, bacon. He will only eat a couple foods, eggs,

a few green beans, carrot curls, and frozen banana. Part of it may have

to do with his acid relux, but he is losing weight and it's a bit

worrisome. Patti Gamble

Try him on crisp legal bacon (bacon must be sugar free) " chips " made of thinly

slices of

butternut squash baked with oil or butter. You can make crispy " crackers or

chip-like

wafers by baking grated cheese on parchment paper.

There are recipes for SCD legal crackers made with nut flours. The problem is

that some of

these are advanced foods.

Since he has the texture issues you could just give him small amounts of these

things and

only introduce one at a time.

Food tastes do change and he will get accustomed to less " crisp and crunch. "

Note that it

can take 21 to 30 days for an adult to get used to changes ...example, a new

mattress or

orthotics.
