Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 , I am just starting the enzymes with my 7 year old. I am curious if you still think you need to forbid foods off your plate since your child is taking all three Houston products for 3 weeks?

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 , I am far from an expert as well As you go towards the SCD, I would be interested in finding out what your child will eat because the SCD for my son would be extremely hard to do. I adapted well to GFCF because of the all the great substitute gluten products. Dairy, well, hard to substitute but dealt with it. Good luck. It sounds like you've got a good plan.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Robin, I am by no means an expert but our plan is to slowly move to the SCD so at this point I am hesitant to introduce other foods. At the moment soy, egg, and yeast are out as well as gluten & casein. I hope to introduce them eventually as his gut is healed. > , > > I am just starting the enzymes with my 7 year old.

Hi , I was just wondering if you've tried the pancakes with SCD ingredients? Does he eat any nutbutters? If so, a good SCD intro pancake recipe is just 2 eggs whipped 1/2 - 1 cup nut butter (I use cashew or peanutbutter) 1/2 teaspoon legal vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. If bananas are ok, adding 1/2 very ripe smashed banana is delicious. If yeast is not an issue, adding honey is nice, too. My son, , loves pancakes in any form. To be honest, he'll eat pancakes with ground chicken in them... He also likes winter squash pancakes. He is off bananas and honey right now and still gobbles these things up! The same recipes work for muffins - just fill 1/2 way. They don't rise, but are easier to get out of the pan. Good luck! SCD has truly been the answer for us. son - 4yo ASD, SCD 7 1/2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 I would attribute the interest to the enzymes. We too were down to a miserly variety of foods our son could safely eat, and the enzymes opened everything back up, at least to GFCF levels. We've found oats to be okay, and due to all our tinkering with other items ( anti fungals, anti virals, etc.) we are hesitant to challenge anything else at the moment. But just getting back to the GFCF diet was outstanding, just not counting every crumb he consumed, and having the dark circles under his eyes going away is great. Good luck to you, I hope more success is to follow. Eating new foods Hi, This is my first time posting on this board. I have a 5 yo son with Autism. We have done the GFCF diet for 2+ years without any guidance. We realized in 6/03 that we had infractions along the way and have sought to correct them. In June, we had Sage testing done and dropped 10 more foods (soy, corn, potatoes, ...) from his already incredibly limited diet. His diet was reduced to almond milk, baby food and rice flour pancakes. Since July, we believe we have been almost completely infraction free. We also started enzymes at this time. Initially we used Kirkman's Enz Complete and Similase jr. We didn't notice anything too dramatic but kept at it. About 3 weeks ago, we started Houston's No-Fenol, Peptizyde and Zyme Prime. Last week, for the first time ever, grabbed some fresh steamed brocolli and started eating it. Our predominantly non- verbal - but incredibly cute:) - child then said, " I want ockery. " repeatedly and ended up eating a bunch of it. He has also started eating celery. The way he eats these items seems a little " stimmy " to me though as he will chew pieces, pull some out and shred it and then request more. Believe me, though, I am ecstatic to see him interested in new foods - especially nutritious ones. We hope to gradually move him to SCD but are a little intimidated at this point as the rice flour pancakes are currently a staple at every meal. My question for you Enzyme experienced folks is do you think that the Houston enzymes are the reason for the new interest in food? I should also mention that he suddenly seems much more aware of the food on all of our plates and we are finding that we are having to be careful that he doesn't grab one of the currently still forbidden items from us. Thank you for your thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we had Sage testing done in June, eggs came up on the list as something we needed to drop. Do you know of a way to substitute for eggs? I've been using flax seed boiled water in his rice flour pancakes but know that flax seeds are illegal on SCD. From what I've read on the SCD boards, it sounds like some of these items shouldn't be problematic on the SCD as the gut is healing. I guess I'm confused to know whether I can try a recipe with egg now or if I need to find another way. Thank you for your advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know > of a way to substitute for eggs? , There are many kids on the elaineschildren list that have actual egg allergies and they have all sorts of ideas about substitutes - I just can't recall exactly how they do it. It seems they use coconut oil, gelatin, squash, pear sauce and other things, but I'm not sure of the method. Maybe you could do a search on the Lyris list? www.pecanbread.com Then go to the online support section. Also, there has always been much discussion about the meaning of certain tests. Some people have said that some tests mean a true allergy and others just indicate an intolerance that would seem to get better on SCD. I'm sure you could find some of that info on the list archives, too. Sorry I'm not too much help! Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 > Visit the Gluten Free Pantry's web site. They have a form you can print out in PDF (adobe acrobat) form that gives EVERY form of egg substitute imaginable... This is awesome. Thank you.
