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

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Before she started SCD, my daughter has a puffy tummy, very slight dark

ring under her eyes, constipation (she goes everyday but her poop is

usually pebby and she has to " work " on it).

Now, after 60 days on SCD, her tummy got bigger. The ring around her

eyes also got darker AFTER she has started SCD. She also lost weight on

SCD. She is now skinny with a huge tummy. These last few days, her skin

color got a little yellow. Her energy is way way waaaayyyy low. She

wouldn't even walk now and flops down everywhere. She doesn't poop

everyday now but when she does, the texture is usually good.

Question:

1. Am I starving her??? I calculated her calories intake and noted that

her calories, fat, carb are all low! She cannot tolerate a lot of the

vegetables I introduced, so she's eating ONLY chicken/pork, zucchini

and pear. She is eating a lot but is still low in calories and carb! I

have to give her a lot of juices and pear sauce and olive oil to

increase her calories and carb. She eats alll the time and is still not

satisfied.

2. She seems even less healthy than she was before. Could SCD be

unhealthy for her? Such restrictive diet doesn't seem healthy. May be

some kids just doesn't tolerate SCD?

I really want this to work but really don't know how. Please help.
