Dear Lyn,

We too have discovered in the last year of battling Celiac Disease, which is

malabsorption of the intestines, autism, ADHD, and so much more, we discovered

that we can not do dairy. It simply does not work in this house if we want to

be asymptomatic. Even Elains yogurt can not be used. We practice the SCD

without dairy (as you may remember she suggests in her autism chapter that some

of us can not have it) and are THRIVING! Sometimes I wonder if this is why so

many people on this site are still talking as if they have " injured " intestines

after complying to a strict SCD diet, yet allow " Legal " yogurt and " Legal "

cheese (although like us they have autistic problems). In fear of generalizing

I will not go there, but it can not help but make me wonder. We have not had to

use enzymes to digest our food since the first three months of healing. We are

fine now. BUT WE discovered that we can not do diary.

Like you, we too have had many food intolerance/allergies. Guess what, now that

our intestines are healing....they are DISAPPEARING too! Even my " cat allergy "

has disappeared! But just like Elaine says in her book " fanatical adherence "

has to be complied to, in order to get these results. If dairy is a problem in

light of what she says about starch, I believe for my family until we are healed

for over a year I will not add this or experiment with this type of protein.

Our GI specialist and research out there claims that the lectins in dairy are

also known to cause damage to the intestines of some of us! I hope that Elaine

is right that some day we may be able to allow it, but only after remission and

the " last symptom disappears for a entire year " ...like she says in her book.

For now we wait and heal, reap the benefits of the SCD....and get are calcium in

other ways.

SCD ABA Reinforcer ideas?

Hi All,

Thanks for all the previous advice and answers to my questions...

I was wondering about what SCDer's use as food reinforcers?

Cameron's showing quite the sensitivity to peanut butter, almonds and

coconut and we are currently avoiding dairy.

I'm pretty sure all his current reinforcers have been contributing to yeast

(green grapes, raisins and " honey candies " - almond rocca w/out the almond

and subbing coconut oil for the butter).

Any ideas/suggestions for other less sweet reinforcers for my sweet-toothed

little guy?

Dear Lynn,

Oh I forgot to tell you that we had to go without honey for ten grueling days in

the beggining! WE didn't even do the nuts either until three months out. Our

yeast and bacteria had to be killed off (STARVED) good! It paid off though!

Our intestines healed and we now can do nuts. Be patient. One meal at a time,

ten days goes by fast in light of a life time of blessings!

If you shoe anaphylactic reaction to food to not eat them ever or test them in

the future. Diarrhea and GI distress is a food intolerance, and if you are like

my family you will HEAL out of it.

I just want to point out that the vast majority of the people on this

list who have ASD kids follow SCD without dairy.

Only a small percentage of us are using dairy and the vast majority of

us are using goat yogurt and goat cheese.

I don't think there are very many who are using SCD for autism who are

using cow's milk products.

Hi Antionette -

I really appreciate your responses - thanks! It really makes things

easier knowing that there are other moms out there struggling with

similar issues that can reach out and offer their

advice/support/experiences in such an open and heartfelt manner!

About the honey... something I've learned about working on my

children's health - if you have a nagging feeling about something,

perhaps you need to look a bit closer! I really think I HAVE been

overdoing it with the honey... I'm really going to put my thinking cap

on and figure out what his therapists can use to get him motivated -

he shows NO interest in toys - only going to expensive indoor

playgrounds!!!

About milk products - our mainstream doc told me to try and feed my

daughter some yoghurt or cheese in the parking lot of the hospital -

in case of a " true " allergic reaction. This was the expert advice I

received today - sigh!
