Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 We are seeing a DAN doctor that I got from this list, his name is Kucera M.D. in Colorado Springs Colorado. Antoinette day 24 entire family Re: Need questions for DAN doctor we will be seeing. Who do you have an appointment with? Perhaps someone on the list has experience with the particular doctor. I will say that our DAN! doctor is not quick to prescribe medication, but does so when medically needed. I have been very, very pleased with our DAN! doctor. As for whether there is more than can be done besides diet, that will depend on your individual needs. It is possible that there are other issues that could improve with supplements. Then again, it could be that diet will be enough for your family. Most DAN! doctor runs Organic Acid Tests and stool tests. Oftentimes, thyroid function is considered as well as viral issues, etc. Jody mom to -7 and -9 SCD 1/03 For information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, please read the book _Breaking the Vicious Cycle_ by Elaine Gottschall and read the following websites: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.infohttp://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/\ > and http://www.pecanbread.comhttp://www.pecanbread.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi Antoinette... Our DAN! ORDERED us to go SCD! I'd only heard of SCD once before, and that was at a DAN! conference I attended last year - and I bought Elaine's book too that day, thinking that I might need to go down this route... Our DAN! is Dr. Cutler in Niagara Falls, N.Y. and although he's extremely busy, we are pleased with many of the changes we've seen. And SCD (probably with LOD restrictions)has a lot to do with Cameron's progress. Lynn - Mommy to Cameron and Mia Jean ps - other parents I know who take their ASD kids to Cutler have not had them ordered on SCD, so it's not just a blanket recommendation from him...
