Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 my 2 year old and i are beginning again with SCD. we've actually never stopped it officially but we recently started an anti-yeast treatment and i think what i'm seeing is bringing us back to the beginning again. my daughter and i both have gradually become intolerant of all the same foods again. at first i was very depressed and blamed it on some cheating we'd done when everything was going so well. but now i see from my journal that it coincides with the beginning of the yeast treatment (it's been about 3 weeks since starting it). my question is: has anyone experienced this? i really hope we'll be able to move through the stages faster this time. we've been SCD 6 months at this point. the difference this time too is that we're starting with mostly clear skin and her body seems to heal more quickly when i do introduce a new food that she wasn't ready for. also i noticed that the reaction is more immediate which makes it so much easier to notice. also would like to ask about when people go back to the intro diet in general, is it really like starting over again or does it go faster? thanks, silvia SCD 6 months for eczema, leaky gut, yeast overgrowth, food intolerances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I'm interested to hear the responses. I think that is why I realized my son had a banana issue - because the reaction showed up within a half hour. That was very very helpful. > also i noticed that the reaction is more immediate which makes it so > much easier to notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 Hi Silvia, Each time that we have started SCD over and revisited intro, the " die off " and detox is always less. It is typical for us to have regressions about every three months with SCD. It is truly our choice to go back to intro foods or introductory diet at these times. It seems to help some of us. During regressions it was suggested to me to increase the goat yogurt and the acidophilus to help fight the Candida back. Some drip this yogurt to make it more tolerable. It truly was the " magic " ticket in ending the yeast in our home. As the gut disbiosis ends...and good bacteria multiply this war of the yeasty beasties does get easier. The good bacteria keeps the yeast at bay. 16+ months SCD we have no signs or symptoms of yeast or heavy metals. This was done with just SCD. Some do find it helpful to do other SCD legal remedies for yeast though. I personally did not feel that they helped as much as the yogurt and acidophilus. But there are some ideas on www.pecanbread.com<about:blank> that some swear by. They are under " difficulties " . http://www.pecanbread.com/new/overcome1.html<about:blank> SCD is wonderful for lower the toxic load so that the body can now deal with the heavy metals that we store in our fat when the body is over taxed. Prior to SCD the liver was working non stop dealing with the toxic load of bad gut flora. Now that this toxic load is lowering the liver can now get to work on what it needs to ~ the heavy metals. We did not use chelation treatments...only SCD. B complex with Vitamin C helps the body to detox. Elaine suggests B12 shots too. I was successful using a prescription B12 nasal spray. Both me and my daughter used this. SHE was almost two when we started SCD. So a similar story. She is doing so much better now...and so am I. All symptoms of Candida and heavy metals are gone on the most part. SCD takes time...the turtle won this race and not that feisty hare that wants short cuts and raw carrots~! I wish you both healthy again~.

Are you doing epsom salt baths? What foods are you unable to tolerate? <<my question is: has anyone experienced this?>> Yes. Yeast has been the hardest thing for me to get a 'handle' on. <<i really hope we'll be > able to move through the stages faster this time. we've been SCD 6 > months at this point. the difference this time too is that we're > starting with mostly clear skin and her body seems to heal more > quickly when i do introduce a new food that she wasn't ready for. > also i noticed that the reaction is more immediate which makes it so much easier to notice.>> From what you have written it seems likely that you you'll be able to move relatively quickly through the 'stages' to more complex SCD foods as the yeast comes under control. << also would like to ask about when people go back to the intro diet in general, is it really like starting over again or does it go faster?>> It depends on the severity of symptoms and if the reason that they went back to the intro is fixed quickly. For example, if they went back to the intro for the flu then after the flu clears up they can usually zip back to where they were pre-flu .
