Re: What is 95% SCD? LONG RESPONSE...

[Guest guest]

Let's just say, the starter diet was not for her and I couldn't even get her

to eat the cooked apples or carrots. So we kept her on the raw version

because she has never had a huge problem with D. I have been baking with

almond flour since day 1 because she needed little snacks and such for

school. Although, I have only found 2 baked goods she likes. I guess what I

am saying is that I have not made it 100% scd but, Kali is still seeing

die-off and benefits from scd. She doesn't need behavior or sleep med.'s

anymore. She is almost potty-trained and knows about 50 words but, we are

still having a hard time with her speech. She will say about 5 words a day

now. And even though she is sick now with a cold, she has made gains in her

health also. I see bigger time spans between illnesses and her behaviors

have reduced a lot. If you aren't completely compliant you are not going to

see the benefits as fast or maybe not even to the same level. I had to try

it to see what it could offer and I'll have to say, I will never eat

processed, canned, inorganic foods with additives or preservatives again. I

am hoping for more progress. We have been sticking to it and have been able

to add more foods due to the fact that her tummy had healed a little and SHE

WANTS to try new foods!! This diet is so worth it. It can help the body

regain it's state of health. Kali has autism, pica, immune system damages,

O/C disorder, GI problems(healing), oral apraxia, and we are going to be

getting her tested for metabolic disease in Dec. She has come a long way in

6 months. It's all got to be due to the diet because we can't afford to see

an Autism specialist (DAN!) and it's all we've got. I hope this is some kind

of encouragement for you all!! Love, Jenn & Kali 95% scd 6 months
