IMPORTANT!! Supplements and SCD.

[Guest guest]

We have found out that children with extreme GI issues cannot

tolerate certain supplements. If you get no improvement with

SCD,then it might be the supplements that are preventing the

healing. Even supplements that are SCD legal might not be absorbed

by a very damaged gut.

You might then need to remove all the supplements for about a month

and then reintroduce them one at a time.

===================================================================

Many people have found it easier to stop the supps when the diet is

introduced and then add them back one at a time, once any die-off

has happened and you are seeing some steady progress. a)it's easier

to track the effects b)you may find you don't need all of the supps

you were using before. However, some parents have discovered there

is one or more supp they are unwilling to do without. There is no

definite " right or wrong " here. SCD is about listening to your gut

and your child's and doing what feels right each step of the way.

Not everyone approaches it this way, I'm sure, but I have found for

me, it has been the way to go. Whenever I have gotten uptight about

how it's going, it is always because I am beset with the " I

should's " - I should be doing this, I should be trying that, I

should be adding this........

Good luck. The diet is wonderful.
