Guest guest Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 Dear Helen, Yes there are others like you! I have a little of everything....and this is a true story...now with a happy ending. As baby diagnosed with " colic " , as child this turned to colitis...and Irritable Bowel Syndrome....as adult almost one a half years ago turned into Celiac Disease (CD).....yet the GF diet did not work. Have suffered from four miscarriages (all related to gut problems), chronic pain, chronic fatigue, plus too many hospitalizations, surgeries, and complications to mention...all have been discovered to be related to a leaky and damaged gut. Yet until SCD have not had the kind of success we are now witnessing. Other things gave relief but nothing like this. I am almost certain this will help your chronic fatigue and leaky gut problems....it has mine...still healing but happy to say doing better than I ever have. So many successful testimonies like ours! There isn't a day that I don't thank Elaine and her BTVC Book and this list serve! I call my problem malabsorption and leaky gut (because there is nothing " classical " about my celiac disease, test where all negative with exception of EGD and biopsy/again nothing " gluten free " about it!).....thanks to Elaine's book now have a solution that works. I too, have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and depression (medicated at one time I might add) All lifting eating a strict SCD diet. The imbalances in my body thanks to the " vicious cycle " being broken are all resolving all these problems. This is embarrassing to admit...but will share to give you HOPE....for the first time in two years I have the energy to deep clean my house! All weekend long been making my home pretty again! I feel so much better now that my vitamin problems (deficiencies related to a damaged gut) are resolving the depression problem also. This is big...because I am also the mother of (three high needs kids who are also SCD), two one year olds (one with CD and ASD like problems), the other (Hyperekplexia) and a four year old (CD, ADHD and doing much better)...it is so nice to be healing as a family! Thankfully my (CD/ADD) husband joined us...for the first time he is doing better too. It's not just about kids on this serve. Antoinette ( " Celiac " , with many problems related to a damaged gut) family problems (CD, DH, ADHD, ADD, ASD and other neurological problems related to a damaged gut) ALL HEALING...thank GOD! Re: chestnut flour Thank you. I am waiting for the book to come, am interested in the diet because I have chronic fatigue syndrome and leaky gut, but not autism or IBD. Wonder if there are others here like me. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Thank you. How long did it take before you started feeling better? Helen Dear Helen, The healing process takes a while...we didn't get sick over night and we will not get well over night...but we where feeling better within (first week) to 10 days of strict SCD diet (following what Elaine told us to do with the " fanatical adherence " that she tells us to do it in!)....discovering little mistakes and sneaky illegals in supplements, salt, and all sorts of things. Now we got them all extinguished I hope! Doing even better. Today is day 46...have a ways to go thought...but can not deny the improvement! The die off is not fun...but worth it. You feel like you have the flu real bad and activated charcoal and Epson salt baths help!....sometimes those feelings return...but not as bad each time they do. Our daughter was the most remarkable! Never talked before...very ASD....and now she is talking, seizures are gone...no more night terrors...no more diarrhea....no more pain....different child...she is wanting to participate in her world...and family....it is so nice to have her back! She got sick around 3 months old.....thought we had lost her! I feel less foggy and more connected too...depression is lifting and feel so much better! My husband and two other kids are better also. After first die off you will too! JOIN US...this is a great support here! Sharing Hope, Antoinette to all who need it! Entire family day 46 and healing for the first time when nothing else worked...and we tried almost everything!
