the good the bad and the ugly

[Guest guest]

Hi,

We have been doing SCD with my almost three year old ASD son for 3 1/2

months. We have seen some amazing things on the way. He is much more

attentive, great eye contact, calm and affectionate. He is also on

supplements (SCD legal). He has had some horrible healing regression

but for the most part is doing great.

My concerns are he is not having consistent formed stools. He is also

mouthing and eating/licking everything he can get his tiny hands on.

Is he not getting enough nourishment? Is he getting yeasty from

fruits? I am so confused and would appreciate any advice.

All the best,

Amber

Hi,

My daughter, 5 1/2 y.o., has been on SCD for 1 month.

All is well. She has had quite a few good days and some

better bowel's. I have been doing well with all of it,

until probably the past week. She is sticking to the diet

just fine and dandy. I think it is in her best interest (for

us) to continue to do SCD diet, yet NOT SCD legal supplements.

I think the diet, and the right supplementation is what is going

to get her where she needs to be. I think her gut will heal. In

my heart I know the supplementation is where it is at. That part

is too strict, considerting the 75 bottles of vitamin supplementation

purchased for her better heatlh. I just can't let that slide. I

am just working on the right combination for her. We will continue

the diet. Just not SCD approved supplementation. Now that is my 2

cents on my side of the story....

NOW... was your son having formed stools before the scd diet?

It sounds like maybe you could find a bowel detox, if he is

mouthing everything, there is probably more stuff trying to

get out.I am sure it must be frustration on his part. Why is he not

getting enough nourishment? What types of

things are you feeding him regularly? Maybe too much fruit is not

good. I am still trying to cook most of the fruit and vegetables

for my little one. The only fresh fruit she is getting yet is

blueberries, ovelry ripe bananas, and maybe a pear. everything else

is cooked and well cooked so its easier on the digestive system.
