PECANBREAD SCD PROTOCOL

[Guest guest]

This was written by Elaine and Mimi.

1)Eat only food that is allowed on the diet,only using food that the

child can tolerate and digest.

Some of these permitted foods should be introduced carefully to

determine if, at the beginning, the child can tolerate the food and in

what amount.

2)Use probiotics and/or yogurt.Goat yogurt is the official yogurt of

this list.

3)Vitamins from Freeda as written in BTVC or from another SCD legal

brand. A vitamin without added fillers such as cornstarch, glucose,

fructose, sucrose, sorbitol, etc. Cellulose, although added cellulose

is not a good idea, is permitted. Vitamin producers need some kind of

filler and cellulose is the least objectionable.

Optional

4)Enzymes if you do not good results with the above protocol

5)B12 shots(but highly recommended)

A few extra points from Sheila.

6. Those who do the intro diet even for a day or two seem to get

better long term results.

7. A food journal is very helpful to determine if there are any

reactions to new foods, supplements etc

8. Slowly add new foods. This is difficult to do but really makes a

difference in the long run.

9. When posting to the list, it is really helpful if people remember

to say what they have, how long on the diet, and if appropriate what

supplements they are giving their kids.

10. That people use the other resources available to them. Such as

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info and www.scdrecipe.com

These are two fantastic sites filled with tons of information. The

recipe site is so very inspiring of all the great things that can

eventually be done with this diet. And as always in any discrepancies

between recipes and the book. BTVC gets the final word.

Mimi's addition:

If doing the intro diet is too hard for your child,just start the

diet.You can always go back to the intro diet later. My addition was

approved by Elaine.

Elaine approved this protocol YOGURT PROTOCOL

The following protocol is for a child who has been dairy free prior to

SCD or for a typical child with extreme milk sensitivity and GI problems.

THIS IS IMPORTANT

Step1

Try dairy free SCD for at least several weeks prior to the

introduction of the yogurt,this gives the gut a chance to heal

Another reason to wait is that we have had several ASD kids who get a

bad initial reaction to SCD( even on the dairy free version of SCD).

So it is wise to wait for a few weeks before introducing goat dairy

products.In doing so you can decide if the bad initial reaction is due

to a yeast die off caused by the elimination of malabsorped carbs or a

reaction to dairy products.

Step2

After you get good results with SCD and you do not have any more yeast

die-off you may start to try the goat yogurt.

That goat yogurt must be made with the right GOAT yogurt starter.

Goat yogurt or sheep yogurt are recommended for children who were

dairy free before starting SCD. For these children we endorse goat/SCD

as the official diet of this list.

Some ASD children are able to tolerate cow yogurt.If you do try cow

yogurt, introduce it very slowly.If you do try cow yogurt and you get

bad results it is not our responsibility.If you post about bad results

with cow yogurt,please make it clear that you were using cow yogurt

and that it is not the official diet of this list.

It is critically important to follow this protocol. This gives you the

best chance for success with your child

\

Once yogurt is tolerated,give 1-3 cups a day.

ALMOND AND OTHER NUT FLOUR SCHEDULE

Elaine wrote this protocol.

[Nut flours are not required on this diet.If you cannot tolerate

almond flour use another nut flour.]

After the intro diet, introduce the almond flour or pecan flour

muffins very gradually - the first week, none.

The second week, about 1/4 muffin every other day and increase to one

a day if all goes well.

After that , you can go to about 3 per day.

NOTE:Many ASD children have difficulty tolerating almond flour.Try

other nut flours instead
