Re: A SCD mom SCD success story

[Guest guest]

Since there are some saying untrue things about me I wanted to post

this again.

> Our story is a little different in that both me and my husband

came to Pecan Bread with Celiac Disease that was not responding to

traditional treatment or Gluten Free diet. When our duaghter and

son started to show symptoms of ASD behavior we knew that we had to

do something fast. Nothing worked until SCDiet.

was just a miserable year before this solution. I am the mother of

two babies that are only five months apart. The state approved us

for adoption of our third daughter when our biological duaghter was

5 months old and son was 3 years old. They knew that we could

handle it. We wanted to be able to breast feed/nurse both babies.

At the time we did not know about this " vicious cycle " .

you just want to go back to the first posts of pecan bread or flip

across cross to the lryis archives and you get a sense of how posts

just disappear and what is said doesn't really matter

a week or couple of months and its all totally forgotten

what i don't get from your posst is useful information about how you do

things, the negative stuff that must occur but never seems to end up in

your posts

you know things that would be helpful and not just a waste of time to

read

Dear , We have no had just roses, there have been some

thorns. I have shared how we have had difficulty with the die off

reaction to the yogurt, that we first innocently mixed up as a

casein reaction. This was before I read that the casein is rendered

harmless in a batch of 24 hour yogurt, and we got horrible die off

from some yogurt I made from coconut milk. Same reaction yet

couldn't have casein. Our first die off was a miserable one. All

five of us got sick....die off as a family is such a joy. lol At

least we got it over with and are now reaping the benifits.

The second die off that come around three months we all got at

different times. This was not as bad but still was not

plesent...after the die offs I now look forward to seeing what new

things KiKi will be able to do. Each time she looses a little more

of her autistic self.

We also have had horrible problems with enzymes. Later learning

that the protease is not a good idea to take with people like me and

my daughter who have intestinal damage. Keeps the SCDiet from

working, and cuased us huge set backs.

You see there have been some " thorns " ....We have had a few set

backs. Kiki's thrush came back when we ate cheese too soon, and

offered her raw fruit too soon. Anything that isn't digested easily

or completely can feed the " bad gut " guys, so we now take our time

introducing more advanced foods.

On the most part just by folowing the book we are having great

success. Thank God,

Antoinette

celiac/asd/hyperekplexia and now all healing thanks to this

wonderful way that works when no other did)

thats interesting about coconut milk, thinking about it, i cannot see

how coconut could ever be fermented successfully since it is so

loaded with anti yeast agents - mitochondrial supressors

any fermentation would give a highly biased bacterial/yeast population

the problem with casien and other biactive peptides in milk is if

they get across the gut undigested or partly digested they act

directly as biological componds in the body

so yogurt or aged cheese by denaturing these compounds helps prevent

this but the other side is gut permiablity and lack of seal which has

to be addressed in at least part by understanding and using oils to

give the most useful efa profile while avoiding pitfalls

years of experience have taught me that it is not possible to take

the view that diet alone is enough, but one day at a time and i am

glad your daughter is recovering.

what autism is, is not well understood and i have to say i miss being

more autistic with its strong sense of the beauty of nature and

really just to roam throughout the world like some halfling ignorant

of the human world around me and all its moil

so i hope your daughter retains the strengths of autism while losing

the dehabilitating aspects

fruits have some peak point of ripeness that gives a very small

window of eatability raw (peeled of course)

the basic thing about proteases is that they attack dead tissue so if

the gut is not renwing at the very rapid rate it has in good health

then i would imagine there are issues

so as you improve the context changes and i am always finding that

optimium diet and supplementation is a shifting field of never ending

change with a few constants and the scd theory of fermentation ,

enzyme use, and supplementation like iodine, zinc, lithium and

selenium has been among those constants

the oddest thing about all this is that unless the rate of progress

actually increases you fall back and this is at least four years of

scd and supplementation and much longer with diet and supplements

generally and you can backwards as fast as you go forwards until you

uncover another key, like dropping fish and shell fish with thier

high arsenic and mercury levels has made a major improvement

the other thing is that everything is manifest in mood and the brain

well before it shows in the gut or otherwise, so you can actually

read people by mental agility, ability to proactively accomodate new

ideas and focus on what matters.

Dear I am with you here. This is the very reason that we are

not ever going to do chelaiton. The DAN! was honest with us and out

right admited that it takes away the giftedness of some with ASD

some times. We will not risk this and opt that the natural

detoxyfing and chelating properties of the SCDiet alone will be

enough.

I don't think we will make coconut yogurt again. It truly was a

disaster. We added honey to the coconut milk, by the way to aid in

fermentation of yogurt starter. The die off was a miserable one. I

don't trust the stuff. Elaine didn't like the Coconut Kefir

either.

So far SCDiet as outlined in BTVC book is all we trust. We came too

injured. Everytime we stray from the book we pay. Like Elaine

warned much of the supplements and extras just caused us problems.

We have learned that we don't need much supplementation, other than

good foods, multivitamin, B complex, essential oils, good calcium

and not much more than this.

I truly thank you for your help and enjoy reading your posts.

Antoinette,

(mother of 2 year old KiKI, problems: celiac/Autistic and feel

blessed that we have such a beautiful daughter who no doubt is

teaching all that know her a thing or two about autism. What a

messanger she is.)
