sleep issues

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My daughter, 15 months old and myself are both on the diet. I

started her on the diet this fall because she was head banging and

developing slowly in motor skills, and had poor food digestion. I was

too trusting of our family doctor who suggested to start her on rice

ceral at 4 months. That is when the problems began. Anyways, in the

beginning back in Oct./NOv. I saw great improvement but over

christmas she was sick with the flu and we are back to non-sleeping a

lot of nights and many days she can't nap at all and just screams in

her crib.

Any suggestions to improve sleep while we try to get back on track

other than the baths before bedtime. Poor thing just seems so over-

stimulated and worn out at the same time. Would any supplements

help? Vitamins that are appropriate for 15 month old?

mary- scd-2 yrs for IBS-

daughter-martha scd for 3 months-diet; is eating eggs,turkey

burgers,chicken soup, chicken, beef burger cut in small pieces; (

carrotts, french style green beans, squash,apple sauce all veggies

and fruit are blended, frozen, & crushed up so my daughter can feed

her self. She has 15 teeth already. I'm still nursing her as well.

I haven't started her on vitamins; I've given her a little cow's

yougart before christmas but it caused stuffyness. I may try her on

goat's yougart next.

,

Extra yogurt and a good pro biotic like Lyso-san with acidophilus can counter

the anti

biotic damage. Getting back on legal SCD will deal with the sugar but may take

time. It is a

good idea to put Martha back on the intro diet for a short time to establish a

good climate

for SCD.
