Re: Starting Diet, looking for Nutritionist, KIM

[Guest guest]

Dear Kim,

Please rethink your decision, read the book, and read the website throughly.

For those of us whom have older children, we wish we'd have known about SCD

when they were in utero.

It is a superior diet to the GFCFSF, avoidance, rotation way.

More brain development happens between birth and age 3 than any other 3 year

period; don't miss this crucial window.

Your baby can have calcium supplementation on SCD.

The intro diet only lasts 2-5 days. After that you can add more food.

www.digestivewellness.com has tasty products and equipment to help you from

intro to later stages.

You don't want to regret not giving this healthy wasy of eating a good 3-4

month try.

The moderators will help you.

Agape,

Hi Jeni Lynn;

I too am nervous about putting my baby (23 months) on SCD. We are going to try

casein free SCD in the near future. I want to ensure my family is going to get

enough calcium. How much calcium do you supplement your baby? What brand do

you use?

Thanks,

Kim

Starting Diet, looking for Nutritionist

Hi,

I must admit that after reading messages over the last week, I'm

quite daunted by the amount of knowledge required to conduct this

diet properly! I do feel that I cannot proceed with starting the

diet on our baby, before consulting with a Nutritionist who

specializes in this diet. However, I have come up BLANK in my search

for one of these persons in our town! Any suggestions!?

Thanks so much,

Kim,

I could not agree with and Jenni Lynn more. This is a very

important window of opportunity. My son is 3 and I wish for him we had started

earlier! My daughter was 20 months when we started the SCD in addition to CF

and she is growing and thriving and healthier than ever! She gets 500mgs of

calcium in her juice everyday (Kirkman's powder) and she likes broccoli which is

a plus. And you do have to be an SCD expert to do the diet perfectly. But

starting the diet as best as you know it today and becoming an expert along the

way is OK. I think the large majority of us found out a month or two into the

diet that the juice, or spice, or sauce we were using was not legal and we fix

it. I have a friend with Crohn's that wants to do SCD but she has spent the

last 4 months studying, going to nutritionists and stocking up her fridge and

freezer meanwhile still eating how she always has. She is spending the time

preparing rather than healing. You can take it slow and first

change to only SCD breakfasts, following week add snacks, or however and your

son will be better of for that meal. Of course for healing you need to be 100%

SCD but it is less overwhelming when approached that way.

I can give you a nutritionist in CT if you would like that knows SCD.

A lot of us use fitday.com to calorie count and track carb, protein, and fat

intake. It was very helpful to us once you figure out what you child requires

by his age and weight. We have all felt overwhelmed and we are all here to

help.

Take care,

mom to Elijah 3, ASD (loosing the label), leaky-gut, failure to thrive

a 2, had a very successful SCD b-day party today. I will post the cake

recipe soon.
