SCD Day 4- help please- autism...

January 28, 2006

Hi-

I'm new to the group- and very new to the diet. My son(almost 5 yr

old) is on his 4th day of the SCD.dIAGNOSED WITH REGRESSIVE AUTISM.

He's having a really hard time....

Day 1 he brought me every " PECS " picture asking for all his fave

foods....and cheated....accidentally getting a hold of a handful of

grapenuts....Our home has now been cleaned out- top to bottom......

Of course he refused intro diet foods.....just drank water/ grape

juice.hAD ONE BOWEL MOVEMENT.....NASTY GREEN.

Day 2 Very hungry at this point......went alittle crazy. Very

aggressive with me etc. He ate 2 eggs!!!!! I was on cloud nine!!!

He's never eaten egg before. (He's so so so picky. Been GFCFplus soy

free for 2 years......and limited himself to mostly fruit/nutbutter

sandwiches on rice bread, chips, fries etc.)

After those first 2-2 1/2 eggs......he stopped eating......NO POOPS.

Day 3 Very lethargic-hanging on the sofa......not so aggressive

toward me........still refusing all intro diet foods......only

drinking water/ welches grape juice......

Day 4- today- threw up when eggs were presented......(only water he

had just sipped down) ...slight temperature.....99.6

Very lethargic....still on sofa.....very whiney.....still drinking

alternating water..and welches/water.

Oh yah- the first 2 days....I was still trying to give him

supplements....(we've been with a DAN doctor for 2 years too.....)

But he is totally non complaint again......he use to take them

willingly in applesauce......anyway.....I made pear sauce....... AM

thinking his refusal had something to do with the pear sauce......The

last 2 days I've just stopped supplements......thinking maybe he'll

wake up the next day.....happy.

Could really use some input.

Concerned he hasn't had a bowl movement since Day 1. (He use to have

3-6 BM's a day.) If all these microbes/yeasts are being killed

off.....if he's not moving? Where are they /their toxins going????

Thanks for your input!

Acree
