Re: Need for calcium or minerals? Pam

[Guest guest]

I have noticed this recently with my children too! My kids just look

like there is brown stuff on their teeth, like plaque or something.

When they brush it does go away somewhat though. We have never had

this problem before and it just started after we did the intro diet.

Is this calcium deficiency? Anyone know what is going on here? They

do get calcium from the SCD yogurt but that is probably their only

source right now. We are slowly doing the K2 protocol to increase

their ability to utilize calcium properly, but aren't up on all of

that protocol just yet.

K in Dayton, Ohio

Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Fibro, CFS, yeast/candida, copper overload,

adrenal fatigue (mostly healed!!!)

Kids: son Rhowan 5 yrs old, chronic diarrhea/loose stools,

yeast/candida, ADHD, salicylate intolerance; daughter Willow 6.5 yrs

old, NT, mild GI issues, salicylate intolerance

Started SCD June 2006, went slightly off for awhile in Nov 2006, back

on strict SCD starting May 2007. (Just redid intro the last week of

June 2007 and are taking it SLOW and we are finally seeing some real

progress!!!!!)
