Re: allergies to many foods

[Guest guest]

We did SCD with out 9y/o with autism for about 6mo. and did saw minimal

improvement. We are considering it again. Our last round of testing shows that

she has become allergic to what seems like everything. All the usual meats;

chicken, turkey, beef, pork, tuna, eggs, milk, yogurt, cheeses, soy, cashews,

peanut butter and many fruits. We have switched over to specialty meats but I am

having lots of difficulty feeding her. Any suggestions from those of you with

kids in similar situations and does SCD make these allergies better? Thanks

for any info. N.

In order to give SCD a fair chance to work, you will need to avoid foods to

which there is an allergy/sensitivity.

As far as there being so many allergies/sensitivities, you might wish to

investigate an alternative treatment known as NAET (Nambudripad Allergy

Elimination Treatment), which can help eliminate food reactions while you

work to heal the gut.

Yes, SCD can reduce the sensitivities to foods, since it heals the gut.

Sensitivities tend to come from having weak digestion, and SCD will improve

digestion.

Hi all-

We have only been doing SCD for about 2 weeks, but I

thought I would share what I am doing for my son. We

were GFCF for six months prior to starting SCD. After

a summer of colonoscopies, elimination diets, etc., I

stumbled upon SCD. Since I already knew 80% of all

foods caused him to have some type of reaction, I

simply took all legal SCD food and developed a 4 day

rotation schedule. (after the Intro diet) That with

the addition of enzymes seems to really be working for

us. I don't know what the SCDers who've been around a

long time will say about this approach, but I can tell

you that the more limited you make your/your child's

diet, the more sensitivities you will end up with

(until the gut heals). My son has grown about 1 inch

in the last 2 weeks (no joke!), so I know he was

starving for the nutrients in all the foods he was not

getting.

A hint on eggs- buy chicken, quail and duck. Some days

use whites, some days use yolks.

Hope that helps!

Hi Colleen-

I want to start off by saying this is not the route

recommended by SCD on how to implement the diet!!! I

was already very familiar with the things that caused

my son the most problems before starting SCD. That

being said, the more I limited his diet, the worse the

situation became. So, I got a sample rotation diet

from www.parentsofallergicchildren.org (search for

rotation diet and view a 4 day example) You will need

to tweek it to contain only SCD foods, but it's a good

start.

My son's food reactions used to last 6 hours or more.

Now, with an SCD rotation, if he has any reaction

(rare), it clears out within an hour. We are still

building up our amount of enzymes, but that has made a

huge difference as well.

Hope that helps!

As you get rid of the really bad offenders (grains,

dairy, etc.), your body can now start to tell you

about all the little things that are problematic as

well. All the sensitivities = gut problems.

Hopefully they will go away as you heal.

A compromised immune system and bad gut play tricks with each other and can

create

inconsistent and slase triggerreactions to food. As healing progesses some of

the

suspected allergies may diminish or disappear. I true food allergy that produces

a strong

reaction will not go away and the food should be avoided.
