Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 My son has been on the SCD Diet for nearly six months and within the last month has had a serious regression. He is on a very limited diet beef, chicken, green beans, pears. We eliminated Almonds and have gone with pecans and walnuts and cut way back on honey, but no improvement. He has been on Dyflucan for a month and a half, no improvement. Stools are like a big pile of sand and he has constant and foul gas. We juice his pears for popsicles and use the nuts for coating and making pancakes. Should we be cooking the pears? We are desperate, he seems to be slipping away a little more every day. I could not sleep for worry over something that I might be missing. We are rotating in boulardii every other week. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 Hello, I don't know if this is your problem or not, but just let me say...ASD kids are expected to have a regression at or around the 5 month mark on SCD. If you have Baker and Pangborn's Biomedical book, it will warn you of the expected regressions on SCD. At almost the exact day starting our 5th month Peyton really regressed, he became very agressive, stimmy and " out there " . He (now after about 2 weeks, is much much better, and even seems better than before the regression, which is expected) He has still been having the sandy poop and tons of mega smelly gas...smells of sulphur or some chemical.....The charcoal may help as well as epsom salt baths. The book says the regression may last anywhere from 7-21 days. Hopefully, you are almost passed it. There is another regression expected at 9mos which deals more with the gastro issues rather than behavior. I hope this helps.

How was he before the regression? How were his bowels before the regression? You could try going back to the intro for a couple of days to see if it is food that he isn't tolerating right now. So, no nuts and no raw fruit or veggies for a few days. http://pecanbread.com/foodprep.html#beyond Sometimes stools like sand indicate die off. You can also add some epsom salt baths and/or activated charcoal to ease die off . http://pecanbread.com/badreaction.html Sheila, SCD 56 mos, 21 yrs UC mom of , SCD 41 mos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
