SCD and multiple food sensitivities

[Guest guest]

I'm new here, but I am strongly considering the daunting task of

starting this diet. I feel it will help me and my son return to

health after 3.5 years of dealing with food sensitivities. They all

began after a bout of food poisoning during my pregnancy, probably

salmonella. Despite a gluten free anti-inflammatory diet for the last

six months and intensive probiotics, I have not made significant

progress. The book really rings true--I know the key is my gut.

My question: is there anyone out there who has done this diet with no

nuts, no seeds, no dairy (including butter) and no coconut? We also

cannot have shellfish, red meat, pork, or nightshades. My biggest

concern is snack foods for my son, who is almost 3. Basically,

anything needed for baked goods we cannot eat!

I've been on a very restricted diet now for 3.5 years and it is

getting so frustrating. I'm so fine with the restrictions for myself,

knowing that it will ease as my gut heals and I can tolerate other

foods. But my son is really going to struggle. As imagined, he is a

sugar fiend because the bad bugs in his gut are going strong.

Anyway, I'm nervous. Can anyone offer any personal experiences that

might help ease my mind for the transition that will not be easy? Or

point me to some resources that might help?

TIA,
