Re: SCD or anti-yeast treatment?

[Guest guest]

Sasha,

It has taken me 4 tries in 2 yrs to successfully put my son on the

SCD diet. He is a major gut kid, always on something for yeast and

bacteria. Our problem was always that he wouldn't branch out past

his pickiness though to do the intro diet and stick with low yeast

feeding SCD foods. He instead gagged and vomited, and I fed too many

of the snack foods, etc. creating a yeast bandwagon.

Finally, this time around, we have him eating cooked cubed

vegetables and homemade chicken nuggets (ground chicken and a pureed

veggie), and are able to limit his legal snacks. We are still having

kicked up yeast (only 3 wks into the diet), but are getting formed

stool for the first time in forever. So it is working, but requires

at least for my son, to pull most fruits, and honey.

dear sasha's mom,

i tried to get rid of yeast before scd and couldnt do it. i couldnt

do it by removing all wheat, all sugars, and dairy. we did couple

of rounds of nystatin but it kept coming back. (well never left

anyway since it was probably systemic). i had to go starch free in

order to rid my son of the horrible yeasties. and so scd was the

way to go. i think if stop feeding the rice and other starches he

might want to eat other things. as you get rid of the yeast you

find that the sensory issues with food and texture start to get

better.

I would start with effective feeding therapy to broaden food

choices, allowing you to introduce alternatives to the bad foods.

Then SCD becomes more realistic.
