Need advice

[Guest guest]

Hello all

Thank you for letting me join this group. I have a 5 year old son

with cerebral palsy and his digestion has always been a big problem.

He has also problems with reflux. Since he was born we have tried

several things to help his digestion, but with no success. The last

months we have been giving him a diet that contains a lot of

vegetables and stopped combining starch and proteins. So for every

meal he got protein + vegetables or starch with vegetables (mostly

carrots, broccoli and spinach). The protein source was chicken and

turkey. Tried once to add fish, but he then got terrible stomach

ache.

I observed that his reflux was getting worse when we gave him a

starch meal (ex rice). He has a awful skinrash on his cheeks (first

very red, then getting very dry). His physician suggested

hydrocortisone cream for the rash, but it never helped. I think the

rash is a reaction to his food. I also wonder if the rash could be

caused by too much A-vitamin (both broccoli and carrot contains a lot

of vitamin A).

I read about the SCD diet and have started to give her zuchinni,

spinach and chicken. I don`t want to give him eggs at the moment,

since his sister is very allergic to this. My concern is that he

might not tolerate chicken. So is it possible to just give him

zuchinni and spinach for a couple of days ? Is it possible to avoid

proteins for a day or two ?. I`m feeling a little desperate at the

moment, cause it seems like he isn`t tolerating anything.

Can anybody give me some advice?

Regards

Hi Siri,

Your son might be going through temporary initial symptoms.

It is possible to avoid

proteins for a day or two. However, do not let this happen for too

long.Try eggs instead even if the sister has an allergy your son might

not have one.
