Re: D-Lactic Acidosis & overeatin

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Please make sure that he will eat the fatty part of the meat. This is

very important if you are eating a mostly meat diet.

SCD is supposed to be a balanced diet and not a mostly meat diet but I

understand your situation. I find your son's experience to be very

interesting. May I copy your posts for others to read? I am very

interested in tracking the progress of the children who are finding it

hard to tolerate carbs. Are there other children who have this

problem?

That's a good point. The GI doc & nutritionist keep telling me to have him eat

lots of fat, so this must be why.

My son had a pill cam done and it travelled thru in 1/3 of the time it should

have. Since D-Lactic Acidosis is most normally associated with short gut

syndrome from a bowel resection, I wonder if my son has a congenital short

bowel?! I am going to ask her if that is possible.
