Some have shown interest in our family

[Guest guest]

Some have shown interest in what my family is doing to have such

wonderful success on this SCDiet. First of all we have been gluten

free and casien free for over 15 months now (wiht coming of all of

us with acception of adopted daughter being diagnosed with Celiac

Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis), also experimented with being

grain free, legume free and dairy free prior to that (caveman/paleo

like).....and now STRICT SCD (and experimenting with only a few

teaspoons of goat yogurt a day). All other experiments with SCD

safe dairy have failed us. HAVING THE BEST SUCCESS WITH SCDiet.. by

far the WINNER!

With the help and support of our doctors:

We are using B12 nasal gels, sprays and B12 shots.

We take SCD safe calcium

We take Freeda's SCD formula Multi-vitamins and B complex (found in

back of BTVC book...asked pediatrician how much to crush up for

babies/kds) give in apple sauce.

Try to respect stages the best we can (did intro for almost one week)

We take enzymes (will soon be adding No Fenol)

Do the epson salt baths everytime someone feels sick or irritable

Use the activated charoal capsules when we feel toxic

We don't do much nut flour (can't tolerate it or digest it yet...see

it in the feces...sign to not go there...makes KiKi sicker)

We can't eat cheese without physical and neurological consequence so

stay away

We eat lots of eggs, a variety of different meats, including organ

meats, fish and shell fish.

All the fruits and vegetables we can tolerate (most have to bee

cook, especialy for KiKi) (seem to have a Salicylate problem)

Try to rotate what we can eat the best we can

We have all prescriptions compounded SCD safe at special pharmacy.

Never breaking the SCDiet...hope we never have to.

Only have made a few errors (dextrose in the salt, illegal teas,

pectin in the yogurt started, corn in the citric acid...and other

fun surprises....otherwise 100% Very STRICT...but having fun!

With all this and on day 38 all these symptoms are gone:

delerium night terror like seizures are at a record low.

--many behavior problems are gone...KiKI is not as " shy " and

withdrawn...noticing things for the first time, talking for the

first time and much more.

--The members in the family who needed to gain wieght have (I have

gained six pounds, KiKI three!

--The members in the family who needed to loose weight have (my

husband has lost 10 pounds. Son and Bubbles are stablelized and

gaining like normal children.

--no more leg pain, bone pain and back pain is better

behavior...as long as we don't over do it with salicylates/almonds
