Guest guest Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Hi, My nephew, Shane, is 27 months old. After starting life as a very affectionate, cuddly guy, he started to regress five or six months ago and was diagnosed on 27 January 2006 as severely autistic. I'm trying to help my sister and brother-in-law out by doing research and providing support in any way I can. My sister and brother-in-law placed him on the SCD mid-January. Recently, his BMs were starting to become formed when he got a hold a piece of toast with peanut butter on 9 Feb (and violated the diet) and reacted with severe diarhea. His BMs have since improved but are still loose. However, since starting the SCD he has been lethargic - to the point where he is now not active at all and he resists walking by himself. My sister is very concerned. I'm just wondering if anybody has experienced this lethargy with the SCD and if not, if anyone has any insight, I would deeply appreciate it. Many thanks, Fiona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethargy is not uncommon when beginning the diet; it is a symptom of die off. Is he getting enough legal carbohydrates : ripe banana, diluted legal juice etc...?
