I'd really appreciate some help!

[Guest guest]

I have a problem (2 actually). We started the SCD about 2 weeks ago

and FINALLY got the book yesterday. (We were on the base elimination

diet for the previous 3 months). My problem is that my boys are both

VERY reactive to Salicylates! By the time I take out all the high

Salicylates and the illegal SCD foods, there sure isn't much left!

(They can't have any sweeteners between the two). They also can't have

protein for dinner, we've tried, it keeps them up till 11 pm. So right

now, they eat protein for brekky and lunch with some steamed vegies

and they have steamed vegies for dinner. (You should see it, night

after night my 6 and 8 yr olds eat a huge plate of steamed vegies and

ask for more! I know I'm blessed!)

For snacks they have either peeled pears, peeled Golden delicious

apples or our home made probotic yogurt.

So, my problem is two fold. One, I WANT to give them something

else...but what??? AND my 8 yr old still has dirreah (sp?) and his

stomach is really swollen tonight and I don't know why or what to do

about it.

We are VERY strict about the diet, they don't cheat, (there's nothing

in our pantry or house to cheat on!) I set up exchange points for

every time they are given a lolly or choc or anything not on their

diet, if they give it to me, I give them points and they can redeem

the points for specific toys or games that they want! That part works

really well.

Any one able to help me???

Gennie,

Are you pealing all fruits and vegetables, and cooking them? Have you done the

intro diet in the book first? You should start with the intro diet, then

proceed with adding in new foods one at a time...every couple of days, giving

small amounts at first, and increasing as it appears they are tolerated. All

fruits and vegetables should be pealed, seeded, and well cooked for the first

several months while the gut is healing.

Gennie,

I understand. My son has been on SCD for 1 week and he is highly sensitive to

salicylates also. Hopefully we can both get it working better for us.

First let me ask:

Since you just got the book. Did you do introductory diet for a

minimum of two days?

Are they getting hidden sugars or starches in their supplements?

Are you using the goat yogurt, accidolphilus or a good probiotic that

is SCD legal to fight the war of the gut bugs?

I might have some good news for you. AS the bad gut bugs die off

this sensitivity with salysilyates will likely vanish. You see...the

bad gut bugs release extra phenols into our blood...raising the load

to to high. Making it so that some foods make us ill.

With SCD they starve out....Without them...no more salysilayate over

load problem. The liver can now handle this low load.

But to do this you will have to do SCD correctly. Review chapter 9

and 10. I read this book over and over and over.

Elaine said unless it causes a horrible or deadly reaction that we

should eat it. Or face possible malnutrition. She wanted us to eat

as balanced as possible.

This was the first sensitivity that we had that vanished. But we

trusted the goat yogurt...and this helped huge. YOUR fanaitcal

attitude is wonderful. I wish you well.

What was the " base elimination diet " ?

When you started SCD two weeks ago did you begin with the intro diet?

What kinds of protein have you tried? Does this include the proteins

from the intro diet - the broiled burgers, 4 hour cooked chicken,

broiled fish, eggs?

What kinds of steamed vegetables are they eating?

Are the pears and apples cooked?

Are you making 24 hour yogurt? What starter are you using?

The diarrhea and swollen stomach may be caused by a food (foods) that

is not tolerated yet.
