Did you introduce yogurt quickly?

[Guest guest]

My kids were GF/CF/SF for a long time, and I've had them on SCD for

about a month. How soon did you introduce yogurt? Does the gut need

to heal a lot before you can do this?

The usual advice is after 3 months.

We where casien free for almost five years before SCD. And then

Gluten free since Dec 2004. We learned that we had Celiac Disease (but

did not respond to gluten free diet). I feared gluten and casien like

the plague.

Due to medical necesity, and not know for certain at the time that ASD

as a result to damaged intestines. We started SCD with the goat

yogurt right away. My duaghter needed this vicious cycle broken as

soon as possible. She was that sick and needed to gain weight sooner

not later. It caused a miserable but much needed die off. Our

daughter was the sickest (Celiac, errosive intestines....and

ultimately a few weeks ago comfirmed with autism(go figure). It only

lasted 10 days (we did intro for 10 days too thanks to sick status).

She has had no problems since the inital die off and enjoys the

yogurt...and it is helping her to gain weight. My my celiac/ADHD son

has had no problems either...that could be related to casein.

At one time I foolishly mistakened " die off " with a reaction to the

casein in the goat milk that I was making Yogurt out of. This is when

I learned at Pecan Bread's web site under yogurt preperation, that

Elaine and others have discovered that when the yogurt it fermented

the SCD way fro 24 hours (or more if you wish), the casine is rendered

harlmess and can not have the same allergic or casomorphine reaction.

We have yet to experiment with cheese...and don't think we will untill

we hale much more.

Die off reaction:

irritability, stomach cramps, flu like symptoms, dizzyness,

restlessness, hyper activity, easy crying, tantrums, rage attacks,

strange rashes...activated charcoal taken one hour before or after

meals helps much. so does a long warm soak in a tub with Epson Salts.

If you want to hear more...personaly feel free to e-mail me.

Hope this helps, Antoinette
