Had anybody ever been cured using SCD?

February 10, 2010

I have all of my kids on SCD, two who really, really need it since they have had digestive isues from birth.Just curious: were your two kids who have had digestive issues from birth natural birth or C-section? I was C-section, and I read somewhere that the baby first encounters beneficial bacteria during birth through the mother's vagina. So C-section babies might already be lacking in the good guys, leaving the baddies room to take over. I had colic as a baby, I guess a sign of things to come and possibly as a result of not being natural birth.. can never be sure though! It all seems very connected.

You weren't cursed to bad bacteria because of a Caesarian. <g> Babies first encounter pathogenic bacteria through the birth canal as well. And of course, UC has a genetic aspect to it - that you got as another inheritancefrom your parents DNA. Personally I blame Mexico, not that it does me any good. <g> Mara

And don't forget that every time the baby eats, it is getting bacteria. If the baby nurses, whatever bacteria the mother has will be passed along too, so it isn't strictly 'genetic' but it is a condition that can be passed on. So many people have gut issues and don't even know it. Plus remember that the food we eat now isn't as nourishing as food in the past due to many factors including soil depletion, pesticides, failure to rotate crops, etc. Our bodies are working harder to overcome environmental stress due to pollution, chemicals, toxins, etc. while having less in the way of nutrients/minerals/vitamins from our food to repair/restore itself. Humans are clever and we have discovered many shortcuts to add convenience to our hectic lives. Unfortunately, I think it

has made us less healthy in the process. The first generation didn't see much change, but with each succeeding generation the deficiencies will be more and more pronounced IMHO.AmeliaHusband UC 9 years, SCD 19 monthsLDN 3 mgTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Thu, February 11, 2010 3:03:00 AMSubject: Re: Re: Had anybody ever been cured using SCD?

The first question my doctor asked when I took my son in for bacterial

overgrowth was, was he a c-section, which he was. He did indicate that the

babies probably received less beneficial bacteria that way. There is a high

incidence, from what I have read, of infant colic leading to

ADHD/autism/allergies/etc. On the other hand, I did nurse all of my babies. I

just doubt I had many good guys to pass on to them. My mother went through a

bunch of " altnerative " type healing stuff at a huge center in Indiana. She has

scleroderma. Her doc said her yeasts were through the roof. So was her

mercury. So yes, I definately believe there is a generational/inherited element

to intestinal gut flora, even if there is no definately proof yet.
