NEW .TRYING TO GET STARTED.PROBLEMS

[Guest guest]

Hi

all,

I'm new here and I live in Cyprus.I've been told that there are no

scd's in my country so I am reading all your posts ,read the book

btvc and getting any information I can from the

site. I 've decided to go really

slow.Everything that you mention (legal juices ,yogurt starters and

much more)we don't have here.I 'm not sure we have the same veg here

either. Anyway my son is 5.10y

and been gfcfsf for about a year now and also free from

corn ,rice.eggs.yeast,and since we had major regression on this diet

I am trying to go on scd.I am starting with the intro in June when

school ends but in the meantime I've tried to take major carbs out

of his diet.I removed potatoes 3 weeks now and he lost 2 kilos.He

doesn't like cooked veg or fruit but loves them raw.I even gave him

egg after a whole year but he doesn;t like it very much(he used to

have 3 eggs for breakfast before).He only want to eat quinoa flakes

or amaranth with dari free.He is starting to refuse to eat anything

that is not carb and I don't know what to do.A year ago he'd eat

anything you put in front of him and now I am desperate.

Note that I didn't remove allgrains yet.I tried to switch his

sandwich bread with almond bread and he got loose bms(he always had

formed )and constipated.I switched back to his gf bread and now his

is constipated again.

Any ideas on how do I proceed.I really want to succeed ,he has yeast

and a lot of bacteria which increased after we treated with

metronitozole so I really must adress those .

Sorry for the long post.

Thanks for any replies.

Hi Antonitsa,

I am dealing with Candida (Yeast) as well.

I got to a point where I was eating everything that is SCD other than

a sweat potato, amaranth and the other alternative non gluten grains.

I cut those out as well recently.

My GI problems improved tremendosly in a few days.

Taking out all the complex carbs is really important.

I'm also seeing a homeopath who is helping me with the candida and a

parasite problem I have. There is an underlaying reason why your son

has candida at his age. Mine is Celiac Disease and Hashimoto's (low

thyroid, which was untreated for many years). A homeopath can help

you with finding out why your son's system is week and build up his

immunme system.

Antonitsa ,

How wonderful to have someone from Cyprus. I hope that one day you

will inspire us with the SCD version of recipes from Cyprus. How about

cucumber and yogurt soup?

Or pine nuts with vegggies?

When I was a little girl, my parents moved to a city that once

belonged to Greece but is no longer a part of Greece. Its population

was very similar to that of Cyprus. I really miss those

foods....please stay and inspire us.

I hope to add a page to the website for children who refuse to eat any

SCD foods.

I hope parents send me their experience and tips for making children like SCD.
