benefits of sorta following scd?

[Guest guest]

Are there any major benefits to sort of following SCD but not really? I'm

about to start, and my husband will eat SCD meals if he doesn't have to

prepare them, and will snack on what's in the house, but will also stop and

buy himself icecream and bread if he's craving it... SO, will he reap

anything from the diet? I believe he's ADHD and will benefit from the

reduction in sugars, if not more...

Also, how far back do slip-ups put people? What are the repercussions of an

oops meal? While my in-laws don't think I'm crazy for bringing along my own

meals, there will come a day where I'm sure something will overpower my

will...

Thanks,

In order to help make SCD a success in my household, I made the whole family go

SCD, which means the partner. My partner is thrilled with the benefits of SCD

for my children, one with autism, and one with ASD, with cocurrent ADHD, metal

poisonning, bowel problems in the youngest, etc. After getting the knack of

cooking SCD, my husband has come to get used to AND enjoy the food and snacks I

prepare at home. He does eat his own junkfood and stuff on the side, though. I

have explained the benefits of the diet, and he has seen them in our children. I

feel the best I can do is to not nag, and work on making SCD food and treats to

his liking. I am concerned about him too, as he was in a highway auto accident

this summer, and took pain medication for quite awhile, which I feel has

destroyed his gut flora. But, he is a grown man, and I am trying to just support

him, and not worry.

I don't know what health problems you are experiencing, but for us, SCD is a

miracle. When we go off diet, there is a regression, lost language, screaching,

unawareness, eye rolling, extreme hyperactivity, echolalia, etc. Just a week

ago, my oldest son, behind my back at a store, took a lollipop, and ate part of

it behind my back. It caused regression, black circles under the eyes, etc. I

guess the kind of regression one may experience depends on what set of problems

you are treating. You cannot tell what the repercussions of an illegal food is

until you are strict SCD for some time, and your problems start to clear. The

reprucussion is the reoccurance of the problem you are trying to treat.

For us, slip ups do happen occassionally, but the repercussions send us into a

tailspin of hampered communication and malabsorption, leaving all of us sad,

frustrated and confused. We look forward to the day we are healed, and it will

come sooner by being strict dietary wise.

Also, once sugar and junk is out of your system, it will become startling easy

to adhere to SCD. Other food that is not homemade starts looking like garbage.

Good Luck!

Well, your husband will certainly reap benefits from the reduction of

refined sugars, preservatives, etc. Drastically reducing grains will

also help his general well-being, even if he doesn't totally abandon

them.

SCD is a healthy diet and when the whole family follows it there is less danger

of sneaking

illegal foods that are in the house. On the other hand the diet is for healing

and the

general public that can digest grains and other disaccharide carbohydrates does

not need

to follow it so your husband can certainly avail himself of the snacks you

mention.
