It could not hurt to give SCD a trial as it may help with the behaviors. Not all

DAN doctors

are on board with SCD but the number is increasing.

Our son NEVER had diarrhea. In fact, he was more prone to constipation. We

have seen nothing but improvements since implementing SCD, and much

improvements in the areas that you mention---sleep issues profoundly better

(Dakota never slept more than 2 hours at a time from birth to about 6yo--now

wakes up maybe only once or twice). He is far less withdrawn and spacey.

Although verbal stimming still persists, it is now managable with prompts,

reminders, requests. In fact, all of his therapies are now showing progress

just because he is able to concentrate more and does not absolutely resist

the change or prompts. We have had a significant reduction in seizure

activity and aggression/anger. Still mouths everything, but open to

redirection and no longer licks strangers. :-)

I would not go solely based upon gastric/bowel problems to decide on SCD.

Many of the families on the diet report little digestive troubles prior to

SCD, and they are implementing it for ASD and gleen great results. In our

family, digestive problems were resolved when we never knew they really

existed--youngest son, neurotypical and healthy, battled yeast and we never

really suspected it until three days into the diet when the die-off hit.

For us, it has worked wonders for everyone.

Good luck,

My son has had gastro problems (mushy light poops). But the biggest success

we have had with SCD is his progress behaviorally and cognitively. His poops

are more normal in color and sometimes not so mushy but for sure it's the

other stuff that has made this diet worth it. FWIW, we tried GFCF and we saw

more of a roller coaster of progress and regression. We give him supplements

and general enzymes as well.

Just a thought, in our early days almond flour, actually, almond anything

prevented my dd from trophies (though they looked much better than pre-SCD).

Other nuts were fine. Now, almonds are completely fine.

Marisol, was this in response to my email? Kai is allergic to almonds

unfortunately so he doesn't eat them. He mainly eats apples, pears, peaches,

meat (chicken, pork, and hamburger), green beans, peas, squash, and peanut

butter. But I would love to know if there is something that would firm up

his Bms.

Thanks , your comments are encouraging. We're on a strict

GFCFSFCornF diet already so going to SCD wouldn't be too harsh, will

try it out.

My daughter did not have diareah at all when we first started this diet. She

had a lot of constipation though. Along with some of the symptoms described

as stimming, yeasty, sleeping and eating problems also. She has been on this

diet for 4 months and we have seen a HUGE change in her stimming. She only

does it when she has sugar or milk products. This diet really helps her to

focus and cut down on her being sick so often. She is also calm enough now

that she no longer is on sleep med.s or behavior meds. I tell anyone that

they can benfit from this diet even if they have a yeast problem. Jenn &

Kali 95% SCD-4 months

I would like to say that my 7 year old boy is GF CF and has been for 4 years

now. He made good improvements especially with his sleep once we started 4 years

ago. His intestine has stabled, his stool is nearly always in small round

pieces like maltesers but whiteish yellowy colour. He is a rea;l fussy eater. I

dont know why but i must try this diet, any thoughts????

We had all this too (inluding autism- still do!), now in week 11 of

SCD and Week 3 of Nystatin and only the odd verbal stim left, going

to bed earlier and earlier 8pm to night - See this SCD - 'We're

lovin' it!!!!'

A DAN doc will never know your child the way you know your child.

> One last word, latest research has most clearly shown that autism spectrum

people

suffer from a carbohydrate malprocessing. SCD directly deals with this aspect.

Other diets

absolutely do not. No one has time to lose. Every month that goes by, is one

more month

of being behind in socialization and other areas of life. There is no time. Be

patient in the

beginning. Things may be good, they may get a little rough, but I always say,

what seems

hardest at first, ends up being the easiest. I see people on other diets still

struggling with

what SCD would take care of for them. Take a peek at how much GF/CF children on

the

other boards struggle with food selectivity and moodiness, and you'll find

ketchup, french

fries, and chicken fingers, all GF/CF in their diets. The sugar, complex carbs

and starches

are feeding the guts bugs like mad, and it is just accepted that it cannot be

the case, not

only by families, but by the doctors. One last point, excluding wheat, milk and

sugar will

not heal

> the state of the intestine, and food sensitivities, no matter how they

express

themselves, will continue to affect the nervous and immune systems, preventing

the ability

for self mastery of skills and progression.

Thank you for this excellent and well worded post Gertrude. You have verbalized

the case

for SCD in a very clear manner. So often, people don't fully understand

differences

between SCD and other diets.

Our archives reveal that over 80% on this list have been on other diets

previously before

finding SCD.

Some achieved some good results but then got stalled.

When they arrived here, they wondered why a few starchy snacks would be that

much of a

problem. But it doesn't take much to proliferate bad bacteria.

Elaine used to say they loved, eating partying and lots of sex. LOL!
