RE: Re: Crying and in pain

[Guest guest]

Aileen,

Hello. My son went through a period of feeling sick for about 5 1/2 weeks

while first detoxing and then unexplained crying and screaming at about 7

months into the program. I later discovered he had a bowel obstruction. I

would strongly suggest you use enzymes for him, at least give it a try, and

something to kill yeast. Houston Nutraceutical enzymes are really worth

checking out. Also, I am using a new product called Allimax to kill yeast.

I'm sure this would be helpful as well. I am using both of these products

and my son has never been happier. He doesn't cry for no apparent reason

anymore. One last thing, when I went from gf/cf to scd, my son began eating

about 4 veggies a day. But once his body got cleaned out he became

sensitive to veggies, I believe from the phenols. He would be up all night

when he ate green veggies. No-Fenol is an enzyme that can help with that.

Good luck to you!
