New to group. gfcf for 3 years.

[Guest guest]

My son has been gfcf for 3 years. I limit sugar and soy, but he eats potatoes

and

drinks lots of rice milk. I believe he still has issues with yeast. I am

considering

making to leap to SCD. He has not had dairy in 3 years, so I'm a little nervous

about

introducing the some of the products on the legal list. But, I'd love for him to

be able

to have a little cheese and try the yogurt.

I feel like the diet described in the book " Breaking the vicious Cycle " might

actually

give us more options than we have now.

Anyone willing to share their experience going from gfcf to the diet in the

book?

GFCF has healed his gut. No more diarrhea. I believe he has Celiac's Disease,

but it

was never confirmed, because we did gfcf so early. Stools are always formed now,

but

I think yeast (and possibly bacteria) continue. Giving him Nystatin seems to

have a

positive effect on his behavior.

I'm nearvous, but I think I might go for it!

Any advice?

Thanks, Amy

Amy,

Don't let the dairy make you nervous. It's allowed on SCD, but it's

not required.

Start SCD with the intro diet, add foods, keep a log and in a month or

two (or more) consider goat's yogurt as an option to try.

Goat's yogurt has a lot of healing properties and will help with yeast

and bacterial issues, but there's no rush. You don't have to start it

immediately.

Many of us have found that our kids do tolerate the goat's milk

products even though our kids had been casein free for a long time.

My older son had been casein free for 3+ years when we tried the

goat's products (SCD about 9 months). I was shocked that he could

tolerate it. And surprisingly my younger son who had always hated

dairy products, then had been on GFCF for almost 3 years before SCD

actually LIKED goat's yogurt and goat cheese. That was equally

shocking.

There are plenty of dairy free recipes. Lots can be found on

pecanbread.com and many that have dairy in them can use other

non-dairy ingredients as replacements.

Welcome to the list!

Over 80% of the people on this list were formerly GFCF.
