Autism Part Two Enzymes HOW I GOT JAKE TO EAT NEW FOODS

[jerrymutt85]

You have done a wonderful job with Jake....I was wondering if you had any advice for me on my 2 1/2 yr old autistic daughter....she has been on gfcf diet with results for a year....but still severely low functioning and I want to do the scd diet but she only can eat in babyfood form...since she has sensory issues....I only can get her to eat fruits, nothing else...do you think I should continue and keep trying to get her to eat veggies and meats...but meanwhile do you think fruits are enough

i have ate 10 to 13 new foods in three years and i haven't throw up or gag

Phil - my son eats chicken pancakes, bison and beef patties, chicken and turkey drumsticks, apples, carrots, cucumbers, and sometimes other fruits, but all raw. I tried the SCD and he would not eat the cooked fruits and veggies and he stopped growing...NO formed stools though, STILL...I am at a loss and trying HBOT. I feel like such a failure in the gut department. Any advice - does Jake now stool normally/healthy? We have also never seen the copious black flecks weve heard about...thoughts?

youre not a failure! its not easy getting the diet right for some kids. youre trying and thats great!

if you could see a nutritionist who believes in the diets it would help make sure your son is getting the nutrients he needs. have you read the book 'special diets for special kids' ?

i read that even mainstream children will reject ''new food'' up to 19 times before they trust it. i was getting my son through eating issues at the time and it really helped to take it slowly. only one new thing at a time and focusing on what he did eat! he eats me out of house and home now and loves his food but i remember when a tablespoon of porrige, a slice of salami and an apple was a good day!!!

I had to buy a large juicer for my son (who's almost 4 and Autistic). He get excited when he hears it. I juice organic fruits with vegs and he loooooooooves it :). But the only thing hes wants to eat for over a yr now is peanut butter toast. So thats the other reason why I started juicing. To give him the vitamins hes needs.

My husbands not going to like the new diet/detox very much but I have two autistic sons, so I'm going to try it out. Thank you.

Is it hard to have a conversation with him? He seems to change subject all of a sudden.

[TheCommanders]

not really...especially now. his conversation keeps getting better and better.

When I first started to clean up my family's food - we went organic first while I expirimented with GFCF foods - and my boys that would NEVER voluntarily eat vegetables or most fruits - started slowly eating them ON THEIR OWN - and now the ASK for broccoli! people told me this would happen and I didn't believe them! made a believer outta me.

Exactly!!!! This is the message that must be spread!

this video is one of of my favorite. I love it because it deals with sensory issues, and Colin has issues with certain foods.
