Guest guest Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hi all, My son is 4 yrs old and currently doing mb12, valtrex, and Nizoral. He has had what seems to be a carb addiction for the last two years. He currently only eats gluten free/yeast free bread with sesame butter and coconut oil. (he is currently GFCF). We are convinced that after struggling with yeast issues and bacteria in his gut for much too long, we must proceed to the specific carbohydrate diet. We are afraid of taking his bread away cold turkey, in that he might starve himself We are also nervous about what exactly to offer him as he does seem to have some slight phenol and occilate issues. Does anyone have any experience with transitioning to the scd diet? , especially with a sensory, super picky eater?......Thanks..Ann To: "mb12valtrex " <mb12valtrex >; "t.lynn28@..."

I am late in responding to this, but any cal-mag-citrate powder (mix with hot water to make a drink) is helpful at night for calming. Natural Vitality's Natural Calm is easily accessible, but it does have stevia and a flavoring in it. We have used Thorne's as well- no flavoring or sweetener to react to. There is a GABA supporter called Kavinace that has helped us a lot. But there are dependance issues. Going off of it brings very hard days. We have stuck with it, for 2 years now- I started it also because my daughter and I have similar issues- to great effect. It brings mental clarity and reduces anxiety significantly for me. It has been wonderful but I do not like being 'stuck' on it and need to dive into reasearch on eventually getting off of it. Treating for parasites with Humaworm has greatly reduced night wakings. As well, a low salicyalate/phenol and low oxalate diet (a diet that does not aggravate parasites) turned us around from 5-15 wakings a night to just one or two. Related to this, histamine (an excitatory neurotransmitter) levels are greatest between 2 and 4 in the morning and if there are underlying food sensitivities or parasites (intricately related, in my opinion and experience), this increases mast cell release of histamine and other NT's. A good quercetin supplement helps with this (We use Thorne Quercenase). Quercetin/Bromlain combos can really help with hyperactivity. It matters what the Quercetin is sourced from, though (if sourced from grapefruit, if I remember correctly, it can increase the mast cell release). So try different supplements if one does not work/exacerbates hyperactivity. Also, we've found that when Mia is off the charts hyper, it takes 4-6 of the Thorne Q/B's twice a day to get her down. I have seen 1000mg of Quercetin, but the source affected Mia. Also consider Histame as an enzyme to help essentially eat up the excess histamine. We have recently started using Hyland's Nerve Tonic to great effect. It contains magnesium salts and other salts depleted by stress. I give our 5 year old 2 sublinguals up to 8 times a day. It really slows down sensory seeking behavior and tones down what I call 'starving rabid dog' behavior- freaking out when anyone touches a toy she is playing with or goes near her while she is coloring. Our Dan MD told us we could work slowly up to as much as 3 mg of melatonin (Mia 5 years, 42 lbs). We tried this for a while, but Mia actually had a negative reaction in the mornings when we were using it. It increased her frustration with motor planning/transitions. Our middle daughter did well on melatonin, though. Good luck! > > > > Hi every one, > > > > My son (almost 5 and weight 50 lbs) is super hyper specially at night, none of the yeast protocol works for him and I really need him to ralax a bit more, so I used Gaba with no luck what other supplement you recommend and how much? > > > > Thanks Lili > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 try a few SCD bread etc recipes first to check what he would eat before 'launching' SCD. I was baking/experimenting with various SCD breads (cakes really), muffins and cookies for a few weeks before we started proper, it helped a lot and removed lots of stress!
