Some progress, but VERY Slow!! I followed suggestions and made

multiple " bread-like " recipes from higher stages. Even though myself

and the rest of my family found them absolutely delicious - he was

still refusing ALL foods regardless. With the autism, it really

seemed to come back to him being resistant to change, even if it was

something he likes, like waffles, but it didn't look EXACTLY like

what he normally has, he was saying no. I am determined to at least

stay with legal foods, even if I can't do the stages right now, so on

Thursday evening we began by " forcing " legal juice and chicken broth

with a syringe on a time schedule, just to get some nutrition in. He

hated that so on Friday we were able to get him to take a few

tiny " crumb " bites of bread each time to avoid the syringe. Tonight

he ate maybe 1/4 of a half a grilled cheese sandwich made with the

SCD bread.

He started looking better on Friday and has actually stayed awake

most of the day yesterday and today(before he was sleeping almost

constantly) and has also shown some slight interest in his video

games and toys but still is weak and fatigues easily.

One question I have is how long can the initial die-off last? Is it

possible he is still going through some of that? We are still doing

epsom salt baths, which he actually requests the baths on his own

throughout the day some, and he is compliant in drinking lots of

water.

Thanks so much for all the support and suggestions, and a big thanks

to you for asking about him. We aren't out of the woods yet

but I think we're getting closer.

PS My 11 yr old is still doing FABULOUS!! He is eating and enjoying

things he never would have tried before, his mood and compliance is

markedly improved and even he will tell you he feels sooo much better

eating these new foods vs what he ate before.
