Re: SCD. We are seeing ONLY bad things. Why? What's wrong?

,

Have you tried enzymes yet?

That may help you to expand her diet.

Are you giving her any probiotics?

I'm just guessing that she is allergic/sensitive to some/all of the foods

she is eating.

Do digestive enzymes help? If she's just sensitivie and not allergic, they

should help digest the food, and eliminate the rings around her eyes. I'm

wondering if her big tummy is also a sign that the food is just sitting

there, not being digested, and not being converted into nutrition for her.

If you're not using digestive enzymes yet, I would recommend that you

consider Houston enzymes right away.

Hope this is of some help,

My daughter had dark circles and had anemia at the same time, which I

believe is a result from maldigestion of some sort. Not sure if one was

related to the other but, die-off can also cause the dark circles around the

eyes in my daughter. She has 5, autism, non-verbal etc. There can be many

explanations for this I think. Jenn & Kali 8 months scd

Jody,

Right.

But I calculated wrongly that time. I calculated a cup juice at each

meal but actually it is only 2oz juice topped to 8oz with water.

I recalculated and realise that she was >200 calories short. Now I

try to increase her pear sauce, add 1 tsp olive oil and increase her

juice. Doesn't seem healthy to me but I have to get her calories and

carb and fat up to try to combat her lethargy. Any other suggestion?

I'm so worried that I'm distroying her health in trying to fix her

autism and did-not-used-to-be-so-bad constipation issue.
