It does help. Thank you for your response. I plan on reading more

about these enzymes. At this point we will keep it slow, simple, and

let stool formation be our guide to try another food or increase her

carbs. It might be easier to administer this diet too this way for

us with everything else going on. It gives me time to adjust and

think out clearly her next food. Work, clean, dishes, prepare

sauces, meats, soups. Its a lot.

Ella shows no signs of a ketonic state. She's growing, happy,

coherent, normalized bloodwork, CRP, etc. I've read one author that

says Ketones can be used by the brain as energy like glucose can

be. That ketosis is more of a concern with people that are

starving. Thats not Ella's case. She eats and eats and eats. One

thing I realized though is that kids naturally go in growth spurts

and plateaus. Children's hospital mentions this can cause parents

lots of concern when kids stop eating as much for awhile. Ella grew

quickly last summer (when the sun was out) then did not in the

fall. The sun is returning and it can't be understated that she now

has much more healing thanks to the SCDiet. I went back and looked

at her growth chart and saw this seasonal tendency in her prior years

despite her symptoms.

Agreed. Elaines brilliance is in its curing and healing the gut.

Realizing that it was renegade microbes and the foods that feed them

that create symptoms. Its simply different microbes for different

people causing different symptoms. In the end, they all live in the

murky depths of the colon and wreak havoc on our systems.

No other diet goes about it this way that I've seen. And now we see

an increased awareness amongst doctors and researchers discoveing the

same thing-- The two Australian Doctors receiveing the Nobel prize

for discovering that H. Pylori Bacterium causes ulcers in the gastric

region. (Oddly enough...they were given this award just a few days

before we got Ella's Crohns diagnosis and heard of the SCDiet that

goes about healing by targeting bacteria) And just a few weeks ago

Dr Borody from Australia reporting his findings that Crohns is a

Mycobacteria Avum Paratuberculos in the same family as the H. Pylori.

(This is what Dr. Crohns himself thought it was 50-60 years ago)

Still, Dr Wakefield's findings that Autism is a mutated measels virus

living in the intestinal track. Two doctors that reported two kids

cured of symptoms by SCD at Stanford also are specializing in this

area. Its seems there is much renewed interest in this field of

study.

Elaine had renegade microbes in her scope and God Bless her for

that. We are starving them and giving them a new address called the

sewer! Sorry guys! Not in my daughter! You can be certain of

that!

I agree on your label comment. Ella is going to kindergarten next

year. For her health diagnosis I put " allergic to complex sugars "

thanks to many of the comments here.

It is a crime. I know of a family with an autistic child that did

the GFCF and is skeptical now of any dietary approach.

From one

***Elaine seems to be the only one who knew it was one BAG OF

INTESTINAL

PROBLEMS......not the many as they think.........notice how the book

speaks to

all of us: Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, Diverticulitits,

Celiac Disease,

Cystic Fibrosis and Chronic Diarrhea...and then she realized that

this also

included the autistics/ASD people....you see one book...speaking to

all of

us....not in several books....but ONE****.

" Hope this helps, call Lucy at Lucy's kitchen Shop (...she has much

experience

strength and hope and loves to share (when she isn't swamped)! You

see we all

belong. Nothing unique about any of us....just one big thing in

common damaged

GUTS! That make us all feel sick.

Sincerely, Antoinette and the " Silly Yaks " at the Bunce Zoo.....

now you know why I don't put " Celiac " ....you see we are " silly

yaks " ....nothing

classical celiac about us....this is why the traditional gluten free

diet did

not work...and does not work for many celiacs! It's a crime that

this stupid

Gluten Free Diet even started as far as I am concerned....it is

keeping to many

of us terribly and dangerously sick. Day 47 entire family SCDiet "

[Guest guest]

Thank God for Elaine's work, and thank God we didn't wait for the doctors to

prove it and win their prizes.......before we believed in this! Thank God for a

few doctors getting their act together and looking at the gut and diet instead

of PILLS and surgery to fix everything!

What a wonderful post...I am glad my story help you guys....thank you, it makes

it all worth it!

In the end...we plan on loosing all our diagnosis....the SCD way....this will be

a day we celebrate and tell the world our story!

Sincerely, Antoinette, my husband and the Silly Yaks at the Bunce Zoo!
