Re: Excessive drinking of water

[Guest guest]

Tara,

A few things can cause excessive thirst, from weak kidney function to

detoxing, especially from the strain die off can cause. Myself and my youngest

son are pre-diabetic, actually I am diabetic, he is hypo, but we completely

control our symptoms and sugar levels with this diet. My oldest is only slightly

glycemic. (See the vaccination injuries to the pancreas?) The beginning can be

rough. I think it is a good idea to find out if diabetes is an issue, but also,

even foods that are SCD legal can aggravate hypoglycemia and diabetes. Follow up

on the testing front, but on this front, what foods is your child eating? I

believe that SCD is the perfect diet for controlling diabetes, if that is even

an issue for you. I hope it is only detox, and possibly an unrecognized food

allergy (very possible still, even 21/2 months SCD). So, please tell us what

your child is eating, in case I or someone here has an observation of it.

I am uncertain about the drunken part of your request. That sounds like

something yeast-related, but I don't know whether it would be a good sign or a

bad sign.

I do know that when your body is detoxing you get much more thirsty. This is

normal and is a good sign in and of itself (connected with the drunkeness,

though . . . again, I am unsure).

Excessive drinking of water

Hi, I have just joined this chat room, althought my sister posted a

message awhile ago on my behalf.

My son is 2 1/2 years old and has severe autism. We have been on the

SCD diet for since January. I think in general things are improving

for him but I wanted to find out if anyone had the following

symptoms:

For the first few weeks he was extremely lethargic, drank huge

quantities of water and was extremely clumsy (like a drunk person).

His energy has come back for the most part but he still drinks

excessively and continues to look drunk. I am wondering if it is

normal part of the detox process or if it is something else. I going

to have his urine tested for diabetes and I have started giving him

primrose oil.

Has anybody experienced these symptoms? Any ideas?

Yours truly

Tara
