I'm and need help!

[Guest guest]

My son started the SCD at 17 mos old and we followed it pretty

faithfully for 8 months. Then I started to try to branch things out

a bit as he has MANY IgE allergies (nuts, legumes, eggs, dairy)

which make the SCD difficult. I added in coconut kefir and cultured

veggies. We had seen Dr Krigsman in June for a scope when my son was

2y 3m and he found no inflammatory changes but still wanted him to

try Sulafasalazine (could not tolerate) followed by Orapred (no

improevement) and Pentasa (could not tolerate either). I am not

sure that the meds route is for him. I ahve tried BED in the

meantime (clearly could not tolerate the grains) and the LOD

(horrific on rice) and then have even just tried to add back in more

complex carbs (still disasterous). I originally took him to

Krigsman not because of diarrhea (his stools were actually pretty

well formed) but because he still had a massively bloated belly.

Well now after all of these trials in the last six months he has

diarrhea now and a bloated belly (belly improved somewhat after

havin ghim cleaned out from scope six months ago.)

Recently we had a SAGE test done...it showed so amny foods he was

not tolerating that he was eating (winter squash, pumpkin, cabbage,

coconut, carrots, peaches). My son is so limited by IgE, now IgG,

and just generally not tolerating grains and complex carbs due to

bowel issues. I feel that SCD was the best for him but I will need

to do better on a rotation with the extremely limited choices for

him.

I started the intro diet with him today (he is just eating chicken

boiled and broth from the crockpot and grape juice jello). I will

do this for 3-5 days depending on how long until we can get him back

to some baseline.

Can someone help me get him back to some type of diet with a

rotation and get this diarrhea under control.

My son will be three in March and is nearly recovered however, his

gut is in worse shape than six months ago and I need help. He

cannot have dairy (level 4 IgE reaction) I know of someone who used

the juice of the young coconut and her own probiotic to culture it

in. I think my son would be able to eventually have this juice

again (if I strained it through a cheesecloth to filter particiles

of the meat out) and was wonering if anyone had tried this with the

SCD yogurt starter?

Help me first though with a rotation

He can eat

Meats (no problems rotating these)

oils (olive, beef lard, safflower, lamb grease)

carbs (pineapple, mango, zuccini, grape juice, pear, avocado)

I have yet to try (papaya, limas (although has problems with many

other legumes), brussel sprouts, beets, apples, and I want to try to

roatoe back in at least acorn squash in a few more weeks).

Thnaksd for the help!
