They're both such helpful and healthful foods (except for the minority of people whose immune system reacts badly to them, and even that may be mitigated over time for some people). Yogurt, of course, for its probiotics, protein, fat and calcium (and some other nutrients) And eggs, well, eggs are a nearly perfect food, with an abundance of nutrients, including riboflavin, B12, choline, folate, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, healthy fats, high-quality protein, etc.I wouldn't steer anybody away from yogurt or eggs unless they absolutely find over time that they cannot tolerate them.n > >>>> Hi, I'm new here, but have been thinking about SCD for years, My older >> son is on the autistic spectrum, and lots of ASD kids (as I'm sure you >> know) do well on SCD.

Elaine felt that one should at least eat eggs in some form, and fish

would be good, too. She was strongly against a vegan diet.

I know that in the first couple years I was on SCD, many, MANY of the

people who came to SCD were former vegetarians. In fact, my own mentor

was a practicing Buddhist, who severely struggled with the idea of eating

meat. Her teacher finally pointed out to her that by not eating meat, she

was damaging her chance at healing, and that that was bad, also. It took

her time to readjust to eating meat.
