Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 >>> can anyone tell me what this is. thankyou tina This is an older diet that eliminates any food that requires the digestive enzymes found in the gut intestines (not the pancreas). The enzymes are produced in the little villi in the gut lining. When the villi are damaged or inflammed, the enzymes are not produced and functioning well. The feeling is that either bad bacteria or yeast damage the intenstines and thus those enzymes are not functioning so those foods are not well digested. OR the gut becomes injured for some other reason and so the food needing those enzymes isn't sufficiently digested. In either case, any food not sufficiently digested moves on to the lower intestines and colon and becomes food and fuel for the bad bacteria and yeast. This perpetuates 'the vicious cycle'. The SCD = the Specific Carbohydrate Diet because only those carbs or food need the intestinal enzymes for full digestion are removed. You can eat anything else. You eliminate those foods which will starve out the pathogens, heal the gut, and thus your return to health. SCD has two parts. 1) remove foods needing those enzymes (stops the damage), and 2) add in special homemade yogurt which has a healing effect and provides a high amount of probiotics in a whole food form. Using digestive enzymes and probiotics is the same approach - ensure sufficient digestion of whatever food is eaten. Probiotics can produce digestive enzymes. Whether one method or the other, or a combination of both, or neither will be helpful will depend on the individual and the degree and type of their problems - same as usual. A number of people previously GFCF and doctors are now advocating SCD because either the child did not get well after years and years on GFCF (and in some cases got worse), or they realized GFCF was causing and worsening bad bacteria and yeast problems...not remedying them. The main site for SCD is www.pecanbread.com. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hi , Funny that you asked. I am going to start full force over Christmas Holidays. We are still going to stay CFSF (SCD is GF). We are going to focus more on Nut Flours if we need to use them. Have you started the SCD diet (Specific Carbohydrate Diet)? I don't think it is going to be too much harder than what we have been doing for over 2 years. Maybe we can share recipes that the boys like.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Hey Theresa. We are doing the SCD diet. We have only been on it for 2wks and Masons fungal infection on his thumb is almost cleared up. Once you have done the GFCF diet SCD is not that much of big deal. However, Mason really loved chips of all kinds - doritoes, fritoes, lays chips, popcorn. They were a big reinforcer for him during ABA sessions. But now he has cashews and almonds and a yummy smoothie. What a healthy boy. Keep me posted when you start.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Dear , Thanks for all the info about SCD and how it has helped so many people. About your thyroid problem. When I had candida 18 years ago I had low (hypo) thyroid so my M.D. put me on natural dessicated thyroid. Then towards the end of my program my thyroid suddenly changed and went the other way to Grave's disease. It was so serious there was a chance of having a stroke or heart attack so it was zapped with radiation. Today I don't have a thyroid and have to take medications every day for the rest of my life. I sincerely believe that tampering with my thyroid in the beginning caused a lot of problems with it. Candida causes low thyroid and erratic thryoid problems, along with many other hormone problems, but they normalize once you overcome the candida. It may appear that the thyroid is not functioning properly but candida causes the cells to go rigid so thyroid hormones can't get where they belong even though the thyroid itself may be okay. I wouldn't want anyone else to go through what I did and lose their thyroid. The main focus should be on " intensively " and " strictly " overcoming the candida and not on trying to balance hormones. Balancing or treating with hormones is at the wrong end of the problem. Candida is the problem, not the thyroid. Treating with hormones just gives the body another complicated factor to deal with. And in the end the body may rebel like mine did. I hope that helps you. Take good care, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 It means specific carbohydrate diet, although for lots of us it will mean cassein free too, if there is problems with cassein. Thanks everyone for the replies, I will look at all the websites and see if I can gear myself up, well I have to really! It's so tough when your child has so many other individual intolerances and I am the most uninspired cook around, never know how to substitute lol. I can't take the potatos out of everyone else's diet, there would be serious rioting if I do lol, maybe I will stagger meal times, don't like the idea of him sitting with the others having what they want. When we did GF/CF I thought his craving for bread was a gluten thing and he just liked potatoes but ofcourse it was yeast feeding he was after all along.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 If you type SCD into google you find quite a few sites with recipes on them. Tom's new favourite is SCD lasagne with courgette as the pasta. He wouldn't normally touch a courgette but he does in this recipe. If you stick to meat and veg you'll be ok - it is tough getting rid of potatoes but they are allowed carrots which you can roast and come out a bit like roast potatoes. > > I think I'm ready to take the bull by the horns and start this! > After GF/CF nightmare I have been putting it off for so long. > Is there a website for people in the U.K. doing SCD, I find the > American version pretty difficult to follow, as usual looking for the > simplest version. > I like the yogurt idea, how is it made, and how do we wean a potato > freak child off his fave food? > We absolutely have to be milk free and fruit free, if memory serves me > well I think there was fruit in this diet. > TIA > Vicky > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi Vicky there is a website for people in UK. There is a link from on of the other sites suggested already. However I didn't find it that helpful as it is not really autism/children related, mostly adults with other conditions. There is a group you might want to look at pecanbread Many on this site are treating children and autism (some who are on this site as well). For what its worth I had to brace myself as well! I am second time round on SCD and going slowly and getting results. We were doing GF/CF but I found this diet increasingly unhealthy and full of starch. I considered SCD to help with yeast and so far it is working well. I also wanted my child to eat natural foods fruit, veg, meat but on the GF/CF diet his diet was mostly GF/CF pancakes, yes potatoes, chips and more potatoes. I remember posting to some dear person who was encouraging me to do SCD that there was no way in this earth we could live with out potatoes!! Cian would not entertain veg unless covered in the 'ould spud, not would he even touch fruit let alone eat it. - Wrong! After reading the book breaking the vicious cycle and the science behind the diet I was a little more convinced that sugar and starch had to go. Unfortunately that included potato but Vicky I fought long and hard with my old thinking patterns and it took me a while to pep myself for this regime. However (and I still can't believe it), Cian's diet has completely changed. He now eats meats (organic) fruits that I allow him to have (low sugar) and veg with out potato. In fact our dinners now are like something out of a Oliver cookbook (but much more nutritious as there is no sugar, full cream etc. etc. You know Bowl of homemade avocado and chicken broth followed by 'baked salmon with olive oil garlic and lemon on a bed of steamed squash,leek and bacon sauce' and for afters a natural yoghurt and pear smoothie topped with organic raspberries. Now how does that compare to chips and beans with Swedish ice-cream (full of soya and sugar) for afters? The yoghurt recipe is on the site already posted and I remember thinking 'Oh my God how complicated I could never do that and he will never eat it' - Wrong and Wrong. It is so easy to make a blind man could do it and he loves it! So I hope this encourages you. There are different ways to make the yoghurt but I bought a yoghurt maker from Lakeland. A whole pot does a week at the moment. His intake may be increased as time goes on. You havn't said why you have to be milk free and fruit free so maybe you will not be able to take the yohurt as it is made from goats or cows milk. I do goats and it is fine so far. Re:fruit I use enzymes (no-fenol from Houstons. Also I use all Houstons enzyme at the moment. there is a UK supplier if you want email me. I would like to say I am not hung up on diets but I do believe in natural and as organic and nutritious as one can so to get on with the biomedical needs of the child. I havn't started chelation yet 'cause I am working so hard on ridding him of yeast and getting my wee man regularly which thank God is happening. Also I have the assurance that if nothing else comes out of it at least he is getting the best diet I can provide for him. With much encouragement and hope for you and yours Aileen > > I think I'm ready to take the bull by the horns and start this! > After GF/CF nightmare I have been putting it off for so long. > Is there a website for people in the U.K. doing SCD, I find the > American version pretty difficult to follow, as usual looking for the > simplest version. > I like the yogurt idea, how is it made, and how do we wean a potato > freak child off his fave food? > We absolutely have to be milk free and fruit free, if memory serves me > well I think there was fruit in this diet. > TIA > Vicky > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi Vicky Yep the old Irish thing made me laugh. I remember posting 'No way can I do without potatoes For God Sake I'm Irish' LOL but we have and when I say we I mean hubbie and all and boy doesn't he love his grub!! Have to say a meal out now together takes on a whole new meaning - we get so excited at the menu we leave the waiters looking as if we never seen food before! Evening was bad for us. Cian was in so much pain for years even on GF/CF, crying, yuky pooh, spaced most of the time etc etc I had to do something There is an enzyme that someone suggested to me Vicky and they went back to it after trying houstons so I'll look it up. I have a funny feeling it is not the one you have noted here so unfortunately I can't help you with that one. Also you could make the exchange real slow leaving potatoes to last? but they do say SCD has to be 100% Also I am doing it with no nuts no honey and no sugar apart from a little pear,peach and apple sauce given early in the day. I am going to do this for six months, two months which has gone , then intend to introduce nuts and honey - trying to give him the best chance to get yeast under control. Hopefully getting tests soon to do more biomedical stuff but I would like this weeing to get sorted re:other post Aileen > > Thanks Aileen for your really encouraging post, I have a hunch you will > understand that as we come from an Irish background this is a culture shock, > husband has already reminded me his ancestrors all fled the Country at the time > of the potato famine, and here am I enforcing one lol. > would sit and polish off a meal of potatoes on their own and still > scrounge off the rest of us! > We have never really got on well with nofenol, AF is fine though, so don't > know what to think about the fruit, we always get gloopy pooh and behaviours > when he has some. > Have you tried the Kirkmans enzyme specific for Carbs?

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 In a very big way this SCD diet makes lots of sense. And at the same time the food that is permitted scored high on my son's IGG food panel blood test. So, I am torn between wanting to do the SCD diet and the results of his IGG. But I got to thinking, he's not doing any better on the diet he is on now, which is very very limited. And I thought of rotating his foods but then there are so few foods to rotate. > > we put jake on the scd diet about four months after the gfcf diet...we had FANTASTIC results...more awareness, better eye contact...great stuff! > [ ] SCD diet > > > Have any of you tried this diet on your children?

My guess is that even though he'd been taking enzymes for months his gut was still leaky, so after a few months he got sensitized to those foods too.

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2006 Report Share Posted August 26, 2006 Nell, We should really let n & Jordan meet, because I think they may be long-lost twins:) We started SCD together on July 4th. We used the allowed milk products, especially a bit of the homemade yogurt because of the author's insistence that the casein is rendered harmless by the yogurt-making process. VERY difficult for the first few days, but we knew to expect that. Then, we had the best 2 or 3 weeks we've ever had with Jordan. Then, I made the mistake of worrying that he might not be getting all the nutrients he needed without any grains whatsoever and started trying to re-introduce Brainchild (which to be perfectly honest may have been in my fridge longer than 6 months now). Around the same time he had some sort of viral thing with fever, pain, congestion, etc. He is notorious for regressing after a virus when he was previously doing marvelously. In any case, he started to slide, and I just wanted to cry...I thought we'd found the answer. But I just re-grouped. I stopped the Brainchild, started rotating so that he would only get a particular fruit or nut or eggs every 4 days. I wasn't as concerned about the veggies & meats- difficult to get them in him anyway-so I'd be thrilled if he ate any meat or veggie a couple days in a row! He seems on the way back up. I'd like to get another IgG panel done. I know Stan Kurtz feels that SCD minus IgG sensitivities is the way to go, and I'm inclined to agree for my child. The most dramatic results we've sen have been from gut interventions (removing IgG+s, SCD, enzymes). Heaven help us- we're scheduled to start LDN for Dr. McCandless's study in a couple of days- just as I'm moving him back up the slippery slope. But let me share with Trish and other adults who are considering the SCD the totally unexpected benefit it had for me. I have an autoimmune disease,so was just trying to see if it gave me a boost with my energy level or any positive physical changes. It didn't. What it did do (during the 1st 3-4 weeks before I cheated when we went out to eat) is change me mentally. I tend to be OCD- but not to a debilitating point at all. I can get obsessive, make a lot of lists, etc. I had really been obsessing about something for months, and about a week into SCD, I just stopped. I started feeling less driven to complete my daily lists and not as freaked out if I didn't get to everything. Just generally more easy-going. It couldn't be coincidence. It actually makes perfect sense, because many case of OCD are caused by the strep bacteria. I had a lot of strep as a child. SCD is a bacteria-starving diet. But this was a total surprise. I will also say that as I've cheated more, the OCD symptoms have eased back in. So I had obviously not completely eradicated the bacteria. Just thougt I'd mention all this, because I'd never heard anyone refer to SCD for OCD (all the acronyms!), and some of you or your children may benefit from my experience! > > > > In a very big way this SCD diet makes lots of sense.

I just watched Elaine Gottschall's video at Stan Kurtz's site, and felt like trying SCD again. I've been wanting to do some kind of elimination diet forever, and using her beginner's diet or whatever she called it would probably be a great place to start.
