Not ready to go to sleep yet, so I thought I'd start Feb.'s thread.
Jan thread
I have decided I definitely need to change dd's diet. She has a rash on her leg that was spreading with what the dr prescribed, and it didn't look like her regular eczema, either. It is responding quite nicely to a natural antifungal cream.
I've been watching the show, http://www.knowthecause.com/ , by Doug Kaufmann. What he says really makes sense. I think I'm going to try his diet for a while with her. And make coconut milk yogurt. (I experimented enough with my crockpot and I think it's going to work.) His diet is basically give up grains, sugars, fruits (except for green apples, berries, avocados, coconuts, and citrus), dairy (except for yogurt, butter and sour cream), beans, legumes, corn, potatoes, peanuts, pistachios, and things made with vinegar. We already avoid most of those things anyway. The hardest thing to avoid for her will be grains as she is used to eating brown rice waffles.
I wanted to do the scd diet, but it just seems like it would be too hard to do the scd with her. I recently found out she is severely allergic to eggs. She's also anaphylactic to dairy. And she's allergic to almonds, spinach, most beans, peas, corn, and wheat. She loves green beans, but they give her diarrhea and diaper rash. She doesn't digest carrots or raisins, either. And Since she's allergic to two nuts, we're avoiding the other nuts until she's at least three. (And avoiding seafood til then, too.)
I may try to make some of the scd baked good recipes with pumpkin seed flour and flaxseed/water as an egg substitute. Michaela loves meats, so I don't think protein will be an issue. I just need to get her to eat more veggies. She really doesn't eat much fruit, either except she loves frozen blueberries.
Anyone have any kid friendly ideas for veggies?
I was looking into the enzymes recommended on enzymestuff, but it bothers me that they contain fungal derived enzymes. Does anyone have any info on this?
btw, I did the master cleanse for 10 days. I felt great. I did get really bored with drinking the drink, though. I just wanted to chew on something. Since I stopped, I've been eating crap--pizza, pb & j, etc. I can definitely tell a difference. No more garbage food for me.
