Re: different diet approaches

May 7, 2006

Hi Amber,

Keep in mind that an SCD diet is for digestive wellness, not autism.

Digestion issues are a huge concern for kiddos with asd, therefore the scd diet

will help. Children with asd also have issues with gluten, casien, molds,etc.

So in our home we have layed the scd diet over our GFCF ST CF EF, etc diet

lifesylye. Since mushrooms are a fungus and many kiddos with asd have fungus

issues, mushrooms should be avoided, IMO. That doesn't mean that they are

illegal on SCD. As it has been mentioned time and time again, each child is

individual.... us, we still need to be all our other diets PLUS scd. Does that

make any sense?

Feel free to email me privatly if you have any questions on how to integrate

several dietary approaches.

Hi everyone,

correct me if I'm wrong, but I read a while ago somewhere that if you have a

ASD child, which I do, they usually have yeast, fungus, bacterial, viral,

etc... issues. Mushroom, being pure fungus, would just feed their problems,

wouldn't they? I've seen a few times now, mushroom recipes posted. I've been

staying away frim mushrooms, because they feed yeast- do you know something

about mushrooms that I don't??

Thanks.

Hi ,

it kind of makes sense. I'm pretty new to all of this diet thing. I hope

you're serious about e-mailing you privately about how to integrate several

dietary approaches, because that would really help me out a lot.

Thanks.

Amber. new and confused.

I agree... one of the reasons I appreciate pecanbread, because it's attempted to

customize SCD for ASD kids.

I haven't finished it yet,... but Dr. -McBride's book 'Gut and

Psychology Syndrome' is written for SCD customized for ASD and other

psychological conditions.
