What do you think of Nison and raw foods for autism, colitis

[Guest guest]

Hi dear pecanbread friends,

I have 2 autistic boys ages 5 and 2.5

we have been doing SCD since Dec 2003 for older son

and since June 05 for little son

I highly suspect my sons have some form of IBD

and plan to get them scoped with Dr.Krigsman, thanks to

advice from many helpful people on the board

my 2 boys behaviors improved a lot on SCD

(calmer, happier, teachable, great sleep, etc)

but they are still not recovered yet

older son lacks understanding

younger son easily sensory overload/shuts off

I read Nison's book from the local

Mother's health food store:

Healing Inflammatory Bowel Disease: The Cause and Cure of Crohn's

Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

is a man with Ulcerative Colitis who recovered

himself with diets

he is making a lecturing tour in USA

and coming to my town (Costa Mesa, CA) for a free lecture

at the Health Food Store, Mothers

I am inspired by the idea of healing

with diets not drugs(or are inflammatory drugs inevitable/expediate

recovery?)

here's his website:

I am inclined to tell all my local Autism support group pals

about his coming talk

what do you think of raw foods diet for colitis/UC/Crohns/IBD?

do my kiddies have to be on SCD very long before they

can tolerate raw, living foods?

we are slowly transitioning by juicing fibrous green leafy veggies

so they are raw but not hard on the tummy

and giving tiny amounts of raw veggies with cooked foods

thanks for your input
