RE: Digest Number 2314

Hello,

I know exactly what you mean. My son has been SCD for almost a year now.

We are always on the go and with the weather getting warmer we have been out

and about a lot more. Every time we go out for any length of time there has

to be a lot of thinking ahead and packing of food. There are antifungals,

enzymes and supplements to think about too in addition to the SCD foods.

And this is all in addition to the " regular things " you need to bring along

for a two and 1/2 yr old.(Diapers, change of clothes, wipes, etc.) It can

be very overwhelming. We always have to be over prepared. I find myself

longing to just be able to make my kid some frozen chicken nuggets, or

grilled cheese sometimes, but it's just not an option. I just have to

except that this is the way it is and remember how much SCD has changed our

lives for the better. In the grand scheme of things the benefits far out

way the inconvenience.

Hi Cheers,

This has not been an easy road to go and stay on this diet. We have

been doing it now for almost 11 wks. We do not eat out at all at

this time. I did not take my two to the groc. store for the first

couple weeks. It was to hard on them and me. They go with me now

though and we 'talk' about the things that are 'good' for us and the

things that 'hurt' us. My little boy still has a hard time

sometimes but he complies.

I too get very discouraged with all the time it takes and at times

yearn to be able to just go 'what ever place you like for fast food'

and get supper for my family. I then have to stop and think about

what life was like before we started this diet with a 5 yr old that

was raging 1 - 2 - maybe 3 times a day and just crabby in general

most of the rest of the time. Everything was a struggle. I then

get up and start the 'work' of fixing supper.

I don't know all of what your reasons were for starting SCD but for

us it has been a God send.

Whole family on SCD 10 1/2 wks in support of 5 yr old who rages.

There not gone totally but life is so much easier.
