Guest guest Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 thanks so much! I actually added soy last week and saw a lot of behavioral problems and I cut it out after a maybe 5 days. Maybe it is left over from that intolerance? I was hoping they were over it. If not, it could be corn because we still use baking powder but no other corn products...and last but not least salicylates (please let it not be this! lol). - sahmomof8 Tuesday, February 13, 2007 5:06 AM Re: raising vegan children Kelli--If your kids are getting enough to eat, I wouldn't worry overmuch about their needs according to any chart, personally. I would look at my child and see if he seemed healthy and active, and judge from there. I never believed any charts could tell me much about my specific child. That being said, I'd go to the Hallelujah Acres website and look at the books in their bookstore. They have a couple of good ones about raising vegan kids. I like Julie Wandling's books, and the one by Olin Idol. I also like the Newstart Lifestyle book by the Weimar Institute, even though it isn't specifically geared towards infants and children, just for the good, basic info on nutrition, and the tasty recipes! The book Raw Kids by Cheryl Stoycoff has good info on raising vegan kids, and on dealing with comments by friends and family. And there's always Raising Vegan Kids in a Non-vegan World, but I don't know the author's name. I believe I have more cookbooks that eliminate the other things you avoid for your kids, although off the top of my head, I can't name any specific ones. Let me know if you need any further info. We also went the route of GFCF/corn syrup (not corn)/refined sugar (not all sugars)/soy free, and maybe I can be of some help to you. My children do not have autism, but I have one with several disabilities, and she is my main reason for all the eliminations.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 yeah I remember that is why I cut it out in the first place but I was really hoping it wasn't true for Kai after two years of being off of it! I was wrong! - Laura G Friday, February 16, 2007 5:49 PM Re: raising vegan children-eye circles If your kid is sensitive to casein chance are good s/he is also sensitive to soy--similar shaped molecules.
