Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 My son has been SCD for almost six days. I'm about to give up. My main goal when I started was to just incorporate SCD foods with his regular foods since he's so picky and then start hard core later. Well, he started to eat the chicken pancakes and I was thrilled. I was using strawberries as reinforcement. Take two bites of pancake and you can have a strawberry. Day two he ate ten pancakes. Day three he ate seven pancakes. Day four he wouldn't touch pancakes. I gave him a few strawberries and some carrots and bites of Colby cheese on day four. Day five I made banana muffins with almond flour. He ate a few of those with some strawberries that I started to cook and peel. This is day six and he's had half a chicken pancake and some peeled strawberries and one muffin. As far as supplements I've given him Kirkman's liquid zinc once a day and the Kirkman's multi-vitamin every other day. He's only had one bowel movement on day two so he has not pooped in four days. I've given him a glycerin suppository which did nothing. His energy is very low. I took him to OT and he didn't want to do much. He looks like he has the flu. I'm so worried. What should I do? I don't want to give up because we've come this far and if it's die-off then I don't want to have to go through this again. What should I do? He's so picky and I'm feeding him things that are SCD, and I realize that I shouldn't give him strawberries in the beginning, but if I don't he will not eat. Help please. Thanks for any advice.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 - I don't really have any advice, but I will tell you my son's die off lasted 10 days, and we've had a few rounds since. He comes out the other side better than ever each time, so hang in there! It will all be worth it. It seems like you're hurting him, but you're really helping. You really, really are!

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Thanks everyone for the responses. I've given him some legal grape juice and some fruit. I'm hoping he'll have a bowel movement soon. He does seem to be feeling better. His color is better and he has more energy this evening. Maybe we're turning a corner. He actually did some imaginative play this evening and said " What's this, Mommy? " He's never done that before. I'm starting to feel better.
