Re: Re: constipation- Trella

[Guest guest]

a H,

It took about a week to see changes in my daughter. Again, I took it very

slowly and introduced new foods one at a time and I kept a food journal. I

did not use any laxatives, just SCD. For along time my daughter ate

different types of pancakes, apple sauce, pear sauce, etc. and juice diluted

with water, and water. Everyone is different. I didn't move past stage 1

until constipation was gone. By the end of week 1 my daughter said her

stomach felt much better. Before, she would constantly complain that her

stomach hurt, and that she felt like she was going to throw up, but never

did. Eventhough her constipation was gone after the first week, I still

took it slow in going through the stages monitoring her stools, and behavior

Trella,

Thanks for your response. I was just about to make a salad for

lunch. We've been on SCD for 7 days, and are in stage 3. Boy, I'd

love to have a salad. I'm doing the diet with my son. I guess I was

rushing it. The reason I'm in a hurry is that he goes back to

college in about a week and a half, and I was hoping to have some

indication if this diet is going to help him before then, since he'll

have to implement it himself while there. He's always been 100%

compliant with all his diets, and prepares much of his own food while

at school, but cooking takes more time than salads, and he has a tiny

kitchen.

So here are my questions for you.

--How long did it take before you saw any changes in bowels? He's

already been grain free, egg free, casein free, spice free, meat

free, and anything-he-reacts-to free for years, so it might take

longer for us to see any changes.

--What did you do for constipation while you were waiting for the

diet to work? I'm terribly afraid of his getting autointoxicated and

can't use the herbal laxative we were using any more (it never gave

him good stools, just hard to push out diarrhea, but at least it got

it out).

--Can you tell me what your daughter eats on a typical day?

Thanks so much.

Right now I'm cooking the lettuce, tomato, and cucumber instead.

My daughter is on the spectrum (PDD-NOS) and she can actually tolerate cow

yogurt. We didn't start yogurt until about 4 months on the diet. Again

everyone is different. I think the key in her healing was to take things

slowly.

Trella,

I'm wondering if your daughter is on the spectrum, or does she have a

different problem. Does she eat goat yogurt?

Sorry I haven't responded sooner because I am under evacuation and waiting to

find out about my house. Anyway, yes my daughter is pretty much recovered. I

don't use any lab testing. Actually, once we started using the yogurt we

started seeing better behavior and clearer thinking. Sorry, but I have to go.

Just to let everyone know that I am okay. I don't know when I will be able to

go home or what is there. I live in Mandeville, LA 24 miles north of New

Orleans and 30 minutes from Slidell, LA. I evacuted to , LA an hour from

my house. Anyway, things are crazy everywhere and supplies are getting hard to

get, but we are okay.
