hello new member to group and have questions. First off, thanks for being

here! I put my 4 1/2 yr son , diagnosed with high functioning autism

(regressed) at 3 1/2 yrs., on the scdiet a week and a half ago. He was recently

found to have many allergies, he never had bm problems, only the color

(yellowish) had been a problem, and had a red anal ring and then he did a 5 day

run on s.boulardi and the color changed to brown and the red anal ring was

gone.(this was one week before starting diet) doctor said it wasn't necessary

for my son to go on scdiet, he felt my son was doing well

with vit. supps., mb12, probiotics. But his diet was awful(ate lots of dairy &

carbs) and the allergies were enough for me.(dr. wanted me to do rotation diet

for six months).

Anyway, started the scdiet and saw immediate improvements in all areas-

executive functioning, speech, imaginative play,etc....had diarrhea third day

once only, since then brown sandy pellet like bm's, only one a day. Main

concern is that his red anal ring has come back, i introduced the

yoghurt (whole milk) after only 7 days on diet, other than that, my son who

never ate meat or veggies is eating like a trooper, he asks " what else can i

eat " . Also I didn't start the diet slowly, he has been having raw fruits since

the start and i never pureed the cooked meat/veggies, also introduced cultured

butter/dry curd cottage within 5 days of diet. ***Questions...Could the red

anal ring be a die off reaction? (I started giving him the S.boulardi again,

along with his flora plus, is this too much probiotic with the

addition of the yoghurt?) Sorry so long...next time i'll try to keep it short,

thanks for any help,
