Re: Third time - Question about restarting the diet

[Guest guest]

From www.peacanbread.com

for more details see website...

Gluten sensitivity and intolerance to salicylates are symptoms of a damaged

digestive system which is overrun with intestinal pathogens. When the health

of the gut is restored, these symptoms disappear. It is better to cure the

underlying cause than to just try to treat the symptoms. Because SCD™

reaches to the root cause of these problems by restoring the helath of the

digestive system, the Specific Carbohydrate Diet™ is the optimal choice for a

child with ASD.

For a more detailed explanation of why the SCD™ is the optimal choice for

children with ASD, click here.

What is the protocol for implementing the SCD™ for a child with ASD?

The Elaine's Children ASD/SCD™ Protocol

1. Serve only food that is allowed on the diet. Use only foods that the child

can

tolerate and digest.

When initially starting the diet, many children cannot tolerate all of the SCD

legal foods. Carefully introduce permitted foods one at a time to determine if

the child can tolerate the food. Add new foods slowly. A food journal is very

helpful to determine if there are any reactions to new foods. Following the

intro diet even for a day or two yields better long term results.

Keep in mind that as the yeast and bacteria begin to die off, there may be an

initial bad reaction to the diet.

NEVER give a child a food which has previously caused an anaphylactic

reaction.

2. Use probiotics and/or homemade goat yogurt.

Probiotics should be introduced slowly, gradually building up the amount

given. This helps prevent die-off from happening too quickly.

Implement a dairy-free SCD™ for at least several weeks prior to the

introduction of the homemade goat yogurt. This gives the gut a chance to

heal. This period of time may need to be longer if there are dietary

infractions.

100% compliance is necessary. When the SCD™ is started, there may be an

initial bad reaction in some children due to microbial die-off. So, waiting for

a

few weeks before introducing the yogurt makes it possible to determine the

source of the bad reaction. Keep in mind that the only yogurt that is allowed is

properly prepared homemade yogurt. The yogurt should also be introduced

slowly, beginning with 1 TBL per day and gradually working up to 1-2 cups

per day for a child. If the yogurt is introduced too quickly, there could be a

significant die-off reaction.

For complete directions on how to make homemade goat yogurt, click here.

Non-dairy yogurt starter and non-dairy acidophilus can be purchased from

Custom Probiotics.

3. Use SCD™ legal vitamins such as Freeda (as mentioned in BTVC) or

another legal brand (see Supplements page).

4. If there are still digestion problems, consider using SCD legal enzymes

(see Supplements page).

5. B12 shots can also be quite helpful when dealing with intestinal problems.

Dear Colby,

You're like us, multiple food allergies, intolerances and GI issues. They get

tons better over time. Start intro as Elaine explains it, gradually introduce

the yogurt back in. It's not about what you are eating now, intro gives the body

a chance to clean out and introducing foods back in slowly helps the immune

system stay calm and gives you a chance to monitor reactions. In my opinion, I

would start intro for a week, then start adding in 1/8 a tsp of yogurt,

gradually increasing it...go slow with everything, and follow the same strategem

for nut yogurt. Intro is about clearing out and starting anew, basic principles

(but shorter) of an elimination diet.

Ok,

Now I am really confused!!!! Please take a look at Elain's web site

(http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/beginners_guide/the_intro_die

t2.htm) or the book. And the Intro diet says:

Breakfast:

Dry curd cottage cheese (moisten with homemade yogurt)

Eggs (boiled, poached, or scrambled)*

Pressed apple cider or grape juice mixed 1/2 and 1/2 with water. See,

SCD™ Legal / Illegal List for more information about allowable juices.

Homemade gelatin made with juice, unflavored gelatin, and sweetener

(honey or saccharine)

Lunch:

Homemade chicken soup

Broiled beef patty or broiled fish

Cheesecake

Homemade gelatin made with juice, unflavored gelatin, and sweetener

(honey or saccharine)

Dinner:

Variations of the above

Now, as you can see Dry Curd Cottage Cheese is the first item on the

list. Is it not DAIRY? And then you see Yogurt. So, the way I see

it, is we start with small amounts of yogurt from the start, not

waiting a few weeks to implement....

Please correct me if I am wrong.

- ready to start, but confused.

For an ASD person, here is the recommended Intro Diet per Elaine, which is

posted in greater detail at www.pecanbread.com website.

Summer

ASD Intro Diet

Since the many of the children with ASD were casein free before beginning the

SCD™, here is a list of suggested foods for the intro diet. The intro diet

should be followed for 2-5 days.

Chicken broth

--Chicken broth with pureed cooked carrots

--Chicken broth with chunks of cooked chicken

--Chicken broth with cooked carrot sliced into little " coins "

--Chicken broth with " chicken balls " made from ground chicken

--Chicken broth with " noodles " made from beaten eggs cooked omelette-style into

a " crepe " and then rolled up and thinly sliced

--Chicken egg-drop soup

Chicken pancakes

Roasted chicken

Roasted turkey

Beef broth

--Beef broth with meatballs made from ground beef

Hamburger patties

Eggs

--scrambled

--poached

--hard-boiled

--soft-boiled

--sunny side up

Homemade jello (made from unflavored real gelatin and purple and/or white grape

juice)

Made in a shallow pan and cut with shaped cookie cutters or into cubes

,

I think the confusion may be because Elaine's website is meant for the

general Colitis/Crohn's/IBD population. Pecanbread.com was orginally

targeting ASD children, but has since reached many more beyond our

orginal " target " audience (which I think is fabulous that so many

people are finding help, hope and healing).

So, it depends which " camp " you're in. If you are doing SCD for

IBD-type issues and dairy is not a problem for you at all, then by all

means follow the recommendations on Elaine's website.

However if you are doing this for a child with developmental issues

and GI problems, I would hold off on the dairy products for a while.

I hope that helps ease the confusion.
