Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Hi Beth, What reaction is he having to the nut yogurt and almond flour baked goods? Sheila, SCD 57 mos, 21 yrs UC mom of , SCD 42 mos > Sounds like feeding my ASD son almond nut yogurt and baked goodies made with almond flour is not necessarily the best way to go after all.

Guest guest Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Mimi, could you please send me the link. Thanks DelToro kj211@...> wrote: Mimi, I am interested in the link. Thanks, ( 4 yrs old, ASD, SCD 2 months) Re: oxalates Hi Marilyn and Beth, Medical research shows that excess oxalates are produced by a fungi in the colon. That fungi,Aspergillus niger,survives in the colon when there are disaccarides and other SCD illegal sugars. If we eliminate these harmful sugars with SCD,then the fungi cannot survive in the colon. It is not necsessary to combine SCD with the low oxalate diet IF you do SCD correctly. A website was made to discuss the oxalate issue and SCD. It explains how to get the benfits of low oxalates without having to combine both diets. Since combining both diets is so difficult,it is very important for parents to read this website before combining both diets. Those who want to read the website can write to me and I will send them the link. Mimi For information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, please read the book _Breaking the Vicious Cycle_ by Elaine Gottschall and read the following websites: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info and http://www.pecanbread.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 > > Mimi, could you please send me the link. Thanks > To all interested in Mimi's link: Oxalate problems and SCD address two different issues but they can be overlapping issues. Some ASD children have oxalate problems, some SCD people especially celiacs have oxalate problems and some in both categories do not. If you are also on the Low Oxalate list you may encounter some people from here and others on SCD not from here. You may read posts from people eating non SCD foods, messages from autism parents about the progress they are making. Owens is very well versed in her knowledge of the topic as is the LOD group moderator. They are extremely dedicated and also supportive of SCD for its STATED PURPOSE but their topic is about oxalates and ours is SCD and we must keep focus on SCD, first. Being celiac, I found only one high oxalate food I use on a regular basis and could easily modify it's use to less than daily. (cherry tomatoes) Otherwise I just avoided two low oxalate foods because they are restricted from SCD. (sweet corn and canned water chestnuts). The low oxalate diet doesn't insist you eat non SCD foods, it indicates the levels of oxalate in three food lists.(high, medium and low) as a guideline. Both SCD and LOD will see benefit from proper studies . SCD has an impressive history of effectiveness and an impressive archive of positive anectdotal success reports. SCD is more than half a century old and has been followed by countless adults and many ASD children. I would heed Elaine's advice to make it your first priority. As a celiac adult, I found the info on the relationship of oxalates and celiac very interesting ( it's new to me) and I will continue to study it. Carol F.
