Your child will be able to have delicous squash chips, chicken nuggets even pizza but it must be home made using foods specified on SCD. If you have tried GFCF you already have some experience with a special diet, but SCD differs. Starting SCD means going on a limited intro diet for two days but after that you can gradually add a number of foods and deal with the dairy issue much later. Dairy is optional only, not mandatory. We usually suggest a one month trial of SCD will give a good indication of suitability. We will all help you. Carol F. Toronto, Celiac, SCD 4 yrs.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Liz, The pecanbread.com website will tell you what foods to start with. Go to " Food Preparation " I believe and scroll down. Also, just curious - who is your DAN! doc? SCD, 2 weeks New Here Hi All- My name is Liz Fiordalisi and I have a 4 (5 in April) year old son with ASD and colitis. We are in the midst of a major flare-up (I think bacteria) with alot of diarrhea and pain. He has been on Neomycin, Flagyll and Diflucan for a while now with little to no improvment. So, today our DAN! doctor told me to put him on the SCD diet. We tried the SCD diet last year for a little over 3 months without any changes. However, we dove right in with all the nut flours and foods rather than taking it slow. We were forced to give it up because my son was eating a ton of meat and we came to find out that his cholesterol was over 500. Anyway, we have since learned that he was majorily growth hormone deficient (from birth) and that growth hormone regulates cholesterol. He has been on growth hormone supplementation since May of last year and his cholesterol is perfect. So, we will begin the SCD this weekend and not look back. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start out (properly)? I have the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle- but I am still confused as to what foods to start with. Thanks, Liz For information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, please read the book _Breaking the Vicious Cycle_ by Elaine Gottschall and read the following websites: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info and http://www.pecanbread.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I > have the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle- but I am still confused as > to what foods to start with. Thanks, Here are some links for getting started on the diet http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#transition http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#intro http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/beginners.htm http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#menu http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#homemade Elaine recommends no longer than 5 days on the intro diet. You can do the intro 4-5 days if severe diarrhea or 2-3 days otherwise. When you start to reintroduce foods after the intro start with cooked, peeled fruit and vegetables and gradually work up to more complex foods. After the cooked foods you can eventually try peeled raw fruit and veggies, then raw veggies and fruit and eventually dried fruit and vegs, but this will take some time (dependant on his rate of healing). After the intro you can try some homemade applesauce or homemade pearsauce or ripe banananas, and in veggies some green beans or squash seem to be tolerated early on by many. If you still aren't sure what to add after these write back in and we'll try to help.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 I think that your son sounds like a great candidate for SCD. " Hard to implement " is a relative term. Watching my children suffer was the hardest thing in the world to do. Anything that eliminated their suffering was far easier than watching them be sick. So, I won't lie and say it's easy, but I will say that it's definitely worth the effort. Read the info on pecanbread.com to get started and you can order Elaine's book or look for it at your local library.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 Hi Rhonda! Where are you guys stationed? Have you had any problems dealing with Tricare? We are currently overseas, but have orders to go to Fort Leonard Wood this summer. It will be my first experience dealing with Tricare, just not sure what they cover when it comes to infertility treatments - do you know anything about it? Good luck to you...
