Stools have been normal for long time....okay to shake things up a bit?

[Guest guest]

My 2 Autistic boys started SCD about 2 years ago, one terribly constipated and

the other with

terrible runny and stinky stools. After about a year, their stools were normal.

About 4

months ago, I started them on rice again and their stools remain normal. Is it

safe to keep

doing this? If their food is apparently digesting okay, is there any reason why

I shouldn't give

rice? Also, we don't cook any of our fruit anymore. Please let me know if I

should not do this

and for what reason? Also, I have never gone the yogurt route.

Our kids are still exhibiting major autistic behaviors, however. They are doing

well in their

40 hr. per week CARD ABA program, the youngest one has been chelating with

TD-DMPS for

over a year and the oldest has seizures still after 5 years with NO help from

anticonvulants.

So, here we are...should I change anything in their diet now that I have their

digestive habits

maintained?

Thank you for any ideas!

Which anticonvulsants is he taking? If he has seizures, he should be evaluated

for Landau-Kleffner Syndrome and in fact, both kids should have EEGs if they

haven't already. Most kids with LKS need anti-inflammatories to address the

underlying conditions. SCD diet seems to help too as it seems to be good for

anyone with auto-immune and/or inflammatory conditions.
