I have had my son on SCD since

seizures. Then his stools get loose. I am desperately wanting to add a

couple new foods to his diet. I just started him on virastop as I believe

he has yeast. Why isn't he healing?

Jo,

It's very helpful to the volunteers if you tell us what your son's

diagnosis is, how old he is, and what foods he is currently able to

tolerate.

I still had loose stools off and on 3-4 years into the diet -- especially

when I ate too much of the foods which were too advanced for me. But my

overall improvement was so marked that I didn't worry about it.

When he doesn't do well, he has seizures. He is allergic to almost

everything, milk included. Pears I will have to wait and try again.

I have many foods and supps to get him on, but when he has a reaction

to a food or new supp, it takes 3-4 days for it to clear from his

system and we can tell by his behavior and seizures. He isn't even on

a probiotic yet. I had to stop them because of seizures. I have him

on 1/16 of dripped yogurt, and I am stopping that again because of the

seizures. But I was thinking he is going to have die off and have

seizures too. It's so hard. I started using virastop for the yeast

right now.
