Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Sherry, Please let your son know that myself, and everyone on this board will be here to answer any questions he may have about the SCD if and when he chooses to embrace this way of eating so his gut can heal. We are here! I agree with PJ’s advice – feed him healthy meals at home. Plus, *you* could still eat SCD – you don’t have to have a bowel disorder to eat this way. It is above & beyond a healthy, well balanced diet. The SCD yogurt is worth its weight in gold! Anyway, hang in there. Oh, and please let your son know that Alyssa, who is 15 and years beyond her age, is on this board and would welcome some younger company! (hope ya don’t mind me speaking for you Alyssa!). Regards, Carol CD 22 yrs SCD 5 yrs From: BTVC-SCD [mailto:BTVC-SCD ] On Behalf Of dontlikemeds Just to update on my son's decision to do the SCDiet...he's still not on board. So what I've been doing is trying to be a lot more conscious of what I am feeding him here at home. I know that what I give him is better for him and yet I've become discouraged by his response to the food. I am seeing that because he is not on the diet and openly accepting it that he's also not open to trying new things. I think it'll be a long process of changing the palette as well as convincing him that this is the best choice for managing his disease. I feel like I want to cry. I want this so much for him and he's not having it. I guess I'm the one that needs to let it go-for now. :-) So, I just had to vent for a bit and say thank you for your help and Maybe I'll be back to ask some more questions when we're actually doing the diet. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Thank you so much PJ and Carol. You are absolutely right. I don't want this to turn into a power struggle. He has already said that so much of this is out of his control-that there are just some things he wants the freedom to choose to do. I get that. I really do. I will definitely tell him that he can find the support he needs here when/if he chooses to start. Thank you. I have thought that maybe I would do the diet ahead of him anyway to see what the process is, etc. It could serve as a good example. :-) Plus I get the added bonus of reaching an amazing level of health! Alyssa, you are one amazing young woman. You're strength is impressive-keep up the good work. ;-) Good Luck and best of health to you all.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Driver's license age... woo hooo!Yep =D My parents are probably happier about this than me though. I'll be the one to run to the store when we're down to our sixth bunch of bananas, or when it's 10:00 at night and I realize I don't have any yogurt starter for the batch of 1/2 & 1/2 I already heated up =) Peace =)Alyssa 15 yoUC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Chinese Herbs (not legal but helping!)
