i dont care if i have to bribe him with chocolate to eat i dont care if he drinks all this crap as far as im concerned with his sensory problems its a blessing he eats this

Ha ha, I don't know, but i get alot of strange looks, trying to find the box with the most unblemished cherry tomatoes in, through the plastic! If they are not perfect, they cannot be eaten.

Sometimes, i cut the tomatoes in half and toss them in a salad, but he finds and discards them with a look on his face like i've just tried to con him out of his pocket money!

No lumpy food seems to be an on going theme too - ds hates it.

Our boy's diet:
tiger white milk (no casein)
organic (almost everything, including meat)
raw carrots
fish 1 per week
red lentil/beef/vegetable stew
organic chicken stew
home made sausages no gunk in them
apple sauce for dessert
banana, apple, pear
rice crispies with no milk) treat
organic raisins for a treat
diluted organic juice
lots and lots of water
home made gluten/casein free pancakes

Our boy has never been to McDonalds (though he still recognises the logo from tv and gets excited (the power of advertising)

He is also very big, well built and is very well nourished. Its not that hard to have a good diet, but you really have start as you mean to go on. Also our boy is only 3. God knows what it will be like when he is in primary 1 and faced with school dinners and other kids' snacks. For now, though its easy.

not so easy when your child has cerable palsey and has trouble chewing

"Guess that makes you a better parent than me then NOT, did you read this thread mamadadawahwah "

Huh?

I think you are missing the point here mmddww. Or are you taking the p*ss?

mama what ever your , try reading the thread before you put your foot in your mouth anymore

diluted orange juice? rice crispies

bloody hell

No, i dont get the point of this thread actually, after rereading it twice. Maybe someone can explain it to me in no uncertain terms in a way that is understandable, minus the sarcasm and bitchiness.

read the title of the section it is called special needs
means most people have kids who have some form of disability
thread was started because fed up with peoople(like you) judging what we feed aour kids
try walking a day in our shoes and maybe you will get it

Exactly, generally fed up.

Casein free milk.... where, please? Didn't know there was such a thing?

mamadadawahwah - that's one of the most crowing posts I've ever read on mumsnet and I've been here 5 years. Some people's children can only eat certain foods.

but fio no 2 children are ths same so even so she shouldn' judge just because her child eats these things.

her son has ASD

its good he doesnt seem to have the same sensory issues as other kids on the spectrum.

Sam had a HUGE meltdown last evening, after a day at school wher SENCO said he was fine, and Stirling says he was beating up a reception kid so bad his classmates ahd to set up a barricade FFS.

When he got home I made him food he'll normally eat, these were spat at me. What should I do? A) clean them off floor and 'make' him eat them, or B) leave it, knowing that if I don't the other boys will get it tenfold in treturn. I ahve a duty to the other boys to protect them: it's not possible to win all round.

SENCO approached me about ds3 today. I give up, I really do.

mamadadawahwah, I'm glad your family seem to deal with food issues well and / or don't have so many, but a thread that allows the rest of us to vent on the Sn threads, who sdoes it hurt ecactly? And it certainly helps.

This really useful thread seems to have exploded into lots of ness. In her defence, I don't understand what Mama has said that is so offensive, other than list a lot of healthy foods and said they don't use the church of the golden arches. Is it the case that people whose kids are eating good things are not allowed to post here? It's her experience with her child and surely that's relevant its just that fortunately she can get good stuff down him.I don't think - as a supoortive forum - we should be attacking her for this. It's her call on McDonalds anyway and she didn't say explicitly that it was bad, just obviously out of bounds for her as her child is GFCF, or maybe for other reasons.

I have a son with ASD too and he has gone from self-limiting what he ate alot to having a pretty good diet post going GFCF.

I think this thread is great and that we're all pooling experiences over a big issue is good, but I don't think it's right to post angry threads so quickly. Maybe I've missed something, but I think I'd be really upset if I was mama on getting these responses and might be scared to post again. What do others think?

Ok, have re-read, are people offended by "its really not that hard to have a good diet and you have to start as you mean to go on".

AS many of us know it can be very difficult to have a good diet when our children can't tolerate lots of things/are scared of new sensory experiences etc - this thread illustrates this. If mama didn't realise this before, then she will hopefully from reading others experiences and count her blessings. In the meantime tho, lets not get too attacking surely? It's so easy to say something in a way that you didn't intend via email and at the end of the day she does walk in our shoes and deserves our support yah?

I am interested in what tiger white milk is as I've recently switched to goats milk and seen a big difference in ds3, I don't think ds1 has a casein problem (tried him cf twice) but casein free milk sounds interesting.
