CSD for infant w/seizures & constipation?

[Guest guest]

I would like to know if this diet will be helpful for my son who does

NOT have diarrhea? In fact, he is leaning toward the constipated

side. I bought the " Breaking the Vicious Cycle " book, and it keeps

referencing how to control diarrhea through the diet.

My ultimate goal is to get my 10 month old son's seizures controlled,

so he can continue developing. Is there any good literature on the

application of the diet with babies/toddlers?

Thanks for your insight.

The diet has been very helpful for those with diarrhea,

constipation, yeast overgrowth, seizure etc, cystic fibrosis,

diverticulitis...

You can find some info on seizures and SCD; and constipation and SCD

at:

Just put " seizures " into the search function and then " constipation "

If you are breastfeeding you should also get on the diet. If

formula fed there is an infant formula recipe in BTVC. Commercial

baby food is illegal on the diet, but you can make your own at home

with a food processor or blender. I made up large batches and froze

it in ice cubes trays in the freezer. When frozen I'd dump all the

trays into a freezer safe bag. That way I could take as much as I

needed out.

What food is he eating now/formula etc.?
