? about stages after intro diet...

[Guest guest]

Hi, I have been reading this board to familiarize myself with the SCD

diet and am just about done reading BTVC. My son is 5.5 yo Asperger

with yeast issue symptoms and rectal prolapse. We have been GFCF for

about 3 mos and this seems to have helped regulate his stools but I

know that we really need SCD to really address the yeast issues. We

are prepping food and planning to start over this long weekend. I have

one question that I am not clear on after going through the book...

Once we complete the intro diet and move onto the first stage of foods,

are we to only add one new food a day? Meaning, for Stage 1, I am

guessing that we cannot add all of the things listed for Stage 1 in one

day. Are we to stay with stage 1, adding only ONE new food from that

list a day?

Thank you in advance for answering my question.

The intro should be for 2-5 days maximum - 4-5 days for diarrhea and

2-3 days for everything else. After the intro you gradually

introduce increasingly more complex foods. You should wait at least

one day for each food. Some people have to do only one new food

every 2-3 days because it takes that long to know if it is tolerated

or not. For some they have an almost immediate reaction - stomach

pains and or diarrhea etc. Others will have constipation and so can

only introduce food every so many days once they know it doesn't

worsen constipation. A food journal will help clarify your child's

reaction to food. The food journal could record when new food is

introduced, how it is prepared, and any positive or negative

reactions (stomach pains, regressions, diarrhea etc.).
