new to group - questions?

Hi everyone!

I just heard about this diet in detail at the DAN conference in Long

Beach this weekend.

My son is 8 - HFA -

gluten/casein/egg/yeast/potato/rice/sesame/pineapple/tomato/mustard/ba

nana/and cantaloupe FREE. OH and low sugar. This has been tough. We

just had to take out the potato and rice because of him not

improving. He seems to be going through withdrawal.

At DAN they recommend that if your child keeps getting more food

sensitivities then this is the time to go SCD. I have to say, this

diet looks tough. I thought we have it pretty bad now. I need a

kick in the butt to get this started. BUT I do have a few questions.

1. What is the intro diet and where can I find that info?

2. If your child is a " yeasty boy " do you also need to avoid fruits?

3. Does this prevent future food sensitivites?

4. Do I still need to keep away the tomatoes, bannanas, etc that are

SCD legal if we are on this diet?

Thanks for any info you have. This diet looks like a doozy but if

you guys can do it, so can I. Also...is there anyone in the Inland

Empire of California that is well versed on SCD? I'm looking for a

speaker for our TACA mtg and this would be a great topic. Thanks

I like that idea Marilyn. I actually found out about the rice and potato

problems because I took him to a kinesthesiologist that does muscle testing. I

thought corn was the problem, but it wasn't so. Do you know if there is a

website that you can search for a NAET practitioner? I think we really need

eggs

back before we can start SCD. Eggs were +1 on is IGg and he's been w/out them

for 4 months so I think it's time I challenge them.

Thank you everyone for all of the advice.

ASD Intro Diet

Since the many of the children with ASD were casein free before beginning the

SCD™, here

is a list of suggested foods for the intro diet. The intro diet should be

followed for 2-5

days.

Chicken broth

--Chicken broth with pureed cooked carrots

--Chicken broth with chunks of cooked chicken

--Chicken broth with cooked carrot sliced into little " coins "

--Chicken broth with " chicken balls " made from ground chicken

--Chicken broth with " noodles " made from beaten eggs cooked omelette-style into

a

" crepe " and then rolled up and thinly sliced

--Chicken egg-drop soup

Chicken pancakes

Roasted chicken

Roasted turkey

Beef broth

--Beef broth with meatballs made from ground beef

Hamburger patties

Eggs

--scrambled

--poached

--hard-boiled

--soft-boiled

--sunny side up

--deviled eggs made with homemade mayo

Homemade jello (made from unflavored real gelatin and purple and/or white grape

juice)

Made in a shallow pan and cut with shaped cookie cutters or into cubes

> 2. If your child is a " yeasty boy " do you also need to avoid fruits?

You can decrease amounts of fruit and honey at the start and there are meds that

reduce

yeast.

> 3. Does this prevent future food sensitivites?

As healing proceeds food sensitivities often decrease but not genuine food

allergies.

Depends. I have Latex Allergy and can never eat bananas but they were among the

best

tolerated foods by infants who first went on SCD. They must be ripe with black

spots.

There are several mechanisms that could cause reacting adversely to tomato and

it will be

necessary to do some tests to confirm that they are indeed reacting adversely.

As it is

easiest to do either CAP RAST tests on blood or Skin Prick Tests then this

(these) will be

done first of all. A positive result with either will confirm the production of

IgE by that

patient's immune system against that food.

Here's what Webster says abiout the word " doozy, " -- an extraordinary one of its

kind "

Yep, that's SCD millions have done it and countless have improved or healed.

It's a doozy

all right!

" Grammy " Gay Bauer has a list of SCD buddies and will likely respond.

Tami,

One think you might look into to handle the immediate food sensitivities is

an alternative treatment called NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination

Treatment). It can eliminate allergies/sensitivities/intolerances. You still

have to heal the gut, otherwise the allergies/sensitivities/intolerances

will re-create, but it can be a useful tool to expand food choices while

doing something like SCD to heal.

The only caution is that not all practitioners may be effective for any

specific person. I had to go to a couple before I found someone that
