Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
