Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi, I am new to this group. I'm looking for info on the SCD and have read all of the websites I can find as well as BTVC. I don't have a child on the autism spectrum, but I do have two very special kiddos with their own special needs. I have a 3 year old who lives casein free, gluten free, soy free and egg free, due to food sensitivities. I also have a 21 month old who has a cardiac condition (the meds alone give you a leaky gut - let alone the other medical traumas he's endured). He also has been diagnosed with Eosiniphilic enteropathy (big name for extra white blood cells in your digestive tract due to allergies/intolerances/leaky gut.) He is currently tube fed a " hypo- allergenic " formula which is 52% corn syrup solids! EGADS! We are looking to change his tube diet over to a whole foods diet and the SCD diet may be our answer. I am celiac myself. And since reading BTVC have noticed that I do better on grain free days. We have also had positive experience for all of us with digestive enzymes. I am researching the SCD as hard as I can, since it is a HUGE commitment. And also realizing for my son it will be a long journey to even get there. I would love any feedback from anyone with experience in our type of issues. Anyone who is SCD without eggs? It seems really hard to go without eggs on SCD. Oh, also, I love many kids that are on the spectrum (I used to be an OT) and treated many and am now so fascinated by the gut-brain connection - so I am looking forward to this group.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 The apple juice needs to be removed from his diet. Apple juice is not allowed on SCD, unless you juice the apples yourself. You can get pressed apple cider and use that. Jody mom to -7 and -9 SCD 1/03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
