Older Children Starting Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi Jen,

My daughter has been on SCD for 5.5 years. She's 13 now and started when she

was 7.5---so I guess she was considered " older " (when I think of how old she is

now, I can barely believe that 7 is considered old, but by ASD treatment-anxiety

standards I guess 7 is old). Anyway, SCD was not a miracle cure, but it provided

an enormous improvement in the quality of her life and the level of her

functioning. Stools normalized in 3 weeks (and labs confirm the absence of the

big pre-SCD gut problems) and her level of functioning rose substantially during

the intitial 6 months of the diet and has remained there.

I hope this is encouraging for you, I understand the need to have such

encouragement when you are about to undergo such substantial lifestyle changes.
