Sheila T./Emotional Reactions

[Guest guest]

Hi Sheila,

I apologise for the late response to your post. Thanks for the support. I

can't tell you how relieved I felt to hear that Elaine's daughter suffered

from somewhat similar symptoms. And if I understand correctly, she has

completely recovered.

That's wonderful to hear that the diet has helped you so much.

I can't see why not. Elaine's daughter suffered from terrible

nightmares and I believe also hallucinated before starting SCD.

Although not exactly what you are talking about I expect they are

related.
