Guest guest Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hi Alison and Margaret, We are in Yorkshire too. Hi Margaret We're not doing SCD. I've replied simply as you have said you are in Yorkshire and so are we - I've not aware of anyone else near to us doing biomed. It would also be good to know of anyone else in our region. Are you in touch with anyone else locally.

Sorry if this is a bit long ... We had the GF/CF diet more or less sussed, although as my son is mainstream and very social so whenever he went to people's houses or away on trips, he would take HNI enzymes. Most of the time he is doing very well both in and out of school, but he does have an ongoing issue with weekly tummy aches and occasional bouts of vomiting. Both issues have decreased over the years, partly helped when we took out boiled/fried/scrambled eggs, too, but they ARE still there - and often, but not always, co-incide with times of heightened emotions: anxieties re SATS or sport event, and evn birthday and christmas - when he really is NOT negatively emotional! He has been having CBT with his therapist (he was on ABA for several years but no longer needs their input) since he started secondary school last September but the anxieties continue - although not at school where he is much happier than at primary - so I think Dr Yeoh is right and it is worth trying the SCD. Howver, at 165cm and weighing just 45k (and with hollow legs and doing various sports up to eight times a week - and that's apart from PE!), I can't imagine how I will fill him up and he not lsoe weight! My husband (a similar build to my son) is an insulin-dependent diabetic who runs so needs LARGE amounts of complex carbs, so a family change to all SCD is out of the question - my husband would quickly end up on the floor with hypoglycaemia and life-threatening fits - so I am, understandably, anxious about how to do this. I am also not an experienced baker (having been with a type 1 diabetic for 20 years), so I really need the easiest/tastiest recipes for bread and muffins and any advice people have, please, such as breadmachines, do I need a yoghurt maker, should he still be casein free (he's been doing very well on goat's milk so far)! I am up in Yorkshire and don't know anyone here who is doing SCD but if there is a specific support group, preferably in the UK, I'd love to know! Thanks for reading this! Yours, hopefully, Margaret No virus found in this message.
