Re: CARA there is hope /birthday party dilemma

[Guest guest]

Dear CARA and to whom it may concern,

Stick around and try a strict SCD diet...I am certain that it will work for you

guys too...with asthma and ADD like problems may want to look into taking out

the SCD dairy until gut heals for a while.....this serve has been a GOD SEND!

We take the goat yogurt like " medicine " with enzymes (just a few teaspoons full

each a day for the wonderful benefits of the probiotics in it...so much better

than the powders according to Elaine.)...and doing well...hope to build up

amount slowly.

Entire family healing for the first time no thanks to other ways of eating...SCD

is it! List of family problems: Celiac, malabsorption, leaky gut, ADD, ADHD,

ASt, YES...... recovering addict (celebrated five years this Feb). (don't have

to self medicate or take so many prescriptions/if any when you feel

better!)...... and so much more....it works...it simply works! All of us have a

ways to go...but are doing better than we ever have! only on day 43 also! Get

the help of a supporting doctor...do this SCDiet and see if you guys can go off

all these meds! I am med free. At one time taking 14 pills a day...NO JOKE!

Been healing for over a year on various ways of eating (GF, CF SF........gave us

a jump start......but again.....never had the success we are having eating the

SCD way! IT is fun not to be medicated/drugged...or have to look into

medicating my son....my husband was suppose to take meds for his ADD but always

refused......now he is glad.......because thanks to Elaine he has never felt

better! NO MEDS HELPED ME EITHER! NONE OF THEM! NOW I KNOW WHY!

Thank you all for the wonderful BIRTHDAY IDEAS...feeling much more positive

about the entire thing....will use some of these ideas!

Sincerely, sharing HOPE, Antoinette (family problems, CD, DH, ADHD, ADD, ASD,

Hyperekplexia and healing for the first time!)

birthday party dilemma

Hi Antoinette,

I have been watching this list for about a month or so. I am so

intrigued by the entire BTVC process, and have been able to share

all of my new knowledge with my Hubby...we have a family full of

issues, although nothing so outright GI-related, just asthma,

depression, ADHD, PDD-NOS, and all the symptoms related to these

labels.. the gut-brain connection is really amazing!!! I have been

in nursing school for the last 3 years and NEVER has this

relationship been mentioned. The neuro-rehab psychologist that

evaluated and diagnosed my daughter never made the connection. Our

pediatrician never asked about dietary issues. COMPLETELY

AMAZING...anyway, all of this to say:

for birthday parties, we have always done what is best for our

family. We have always lived on one income and couldn't afford big

parties and lots of kids. plus the goodie bags are always a

nightmare!!!

An idea I use is a party in mid afternoon, so everyone feeds their

kids first!! Then my goodie bags have just prizes in them, you know

the type, rings, balloons, etc from the dollar store. Then go to

local fast food joints and get their coupons for a free cone or

other treat-think halloween??? 's, McD's, Friendly's etc or a

local ice cream place, and put the coupon in the goodie bag. No

stress for you or your family, the guests get what they come looking

for!!! scavenger hunt games are great for all ages and electrical

tape comes in many colors at the dollar store, to color code sticks,

rocks, what have you for the hunt!!!

Good Luck and we will be starting the SCD at semester's end!!!
