Shannon, thanks for the recipes. I do use avocado to make puddings and hide stuff in them. I love blueberries, avocado and no sweeteners.. then add spirulina. Its great to hide greens in treats they like. I even like this for myself. I would be very careful using wheat, sugar (dates, hones) and cacao with kids with autism. these are all triggers for toxin flare up. sugar feeds yeast, cacao has metals sometimes mold and is acidic. I would prefer try carob instead.. raw carob.. and I would sweeten with stevia, xylitol or lakanto which do not feed the poisons… BUT intransition those recipes are fine.

I’m so grateful for the Internet… helping people connect and learn from each other. Thank you for sharing your story.

Healthy regards,
Kristen

It’s great that you’ve realized the impact of his diet, even against the doctor’s recommendations.I recently attended a 3 day intensive autism training and got tons of new information, including the importance of mom and dad’s diet. So you are doing wonders by simply changing your own eating habits. The fact is that children copy their parents so u are setting the stage for health with that alone.

also, the very best thing I did for my son was to introduce probiotic foods (coconut kefir and cultured vegetables) these help change taste buds and make the body crave green and nutritious foods. at this point your son may have a viral, fungal or bacterial infection that thrives on the sugar and numbing proteins (casein) found in dairy. The body will crave these things to numb the inflammation caused by toxic overload ( I can explain in detail if u like). probiotics help balance gut bacteria and get infection under control. Once this happens the body craves more good because it now wants to heal.

young coconut kefir and cultured vegetables are the most beneficial forms of probiotics because they enter the body as foods and do not get burned by stomach acids — u can start with even just one teaspoon(and I can give u directions on how to make them). But, if you feel you need to start even smaller — try an store-bought probiotic for children. I did use jarrow-dopholis and fivelac in the past. the problem with these is that they stop working once you stop using them.. but they can help u transition into the foods I mentioned.

also, you may want to begin replacing his milk with some healthier choices. you may want to try organic grass fed raw milk. while it is still mucous forming it is a completely different product than homogenized milk.

I would replace it with raw almond milk, or grain milk like quinoa. you can make milks out of any nut or seed….

Reducing his sugar intake is also going to allow the probiotics to work much quicker.

if you are comfortable with this, I would suggest some colon hydrotherapy even before u begin the diet. this will give you a head start in getting out toxins. some colon therapists do mineral or probiotic implants after sessions and some do not. In my experience implants are a must! if your therapist does not do them you can do them at home after the session.

so yes I think that adding great food like green drinks is a must.. but we need to bring his body to a point to accept these foods.

I am here to help u with whatever I can.

As long as I can remember we have had tummy problems. Every time he goes - it’s diarrhea. I guess I am not surprised. His diet consists of macNcheese, cheese pizza, grilled cheese sandwich, 2 kinds of cereal, and of course - gallons of milk.

We were told from the beginning that his diet will never be that of a “normal” child - due to sensory issues. The doctor says he is healthy and strong, he is growing normally, and not to worry. But I can’t help it.

There was a time when we tried to make him eat a couple peas, or one slice of cucumber, or 3 kernels of corn, only to end up with a fit of throwing up every time. Then we gave up…

He will NOT try any fruits or veggies or greens. My husband and I have been drinking green smoothies for a month now, but we have not been able to entice our son.

I don’t know what to do. I cannot force him. Would you have any advise?
Thank you, Masha
