Re: Re: Guidance, please. Thanks!

Once again, thank you for your guidance. I use epsom salt baths very often but

have never used the activated charcoal. She's doing better and her appointment

is coming up in early August, I think I'll wait to see what the doctor says.

Yes, this diet has been a huge blessing for us. As everyone else on the list,

I have spend many hours reading and searching for answers for my baby's

condition and among all the probabilities, SCD has been the safest and more

rewarding. But I couldn't have come this far without your help. Thank you so

much for your effort, your are truly making a difference.

Blessings,

Ximena

Hi Ximena,

Are you able to use the epsom salt baths or activated charcoal? For

your daughter the act. charcoal may work better to help with die off

symptoms. It sounds as if her body is being overloaded with toxin

release and it is affecting her intensely.

If her symptoms are not too bad right now, you may want to wait a

while before adding any new protocols (yeast probiotics). Since you

are going to see a DAN soon they should be able to give you a more

definitive diagnosis.

It sounds as if the diet is slowly helping her improve with increased

connection and socialization

Magnesium Glycinate. Didn't have the chance. She was having 1

drop/day and even whith that small amount, she became very agressive

and had the worst diarrhea ever. She has always been a very calm,

sweet little girl and seeing her like that scared me so much that I

stopped the protocol. I think she was not ready. I thought it was

because of some sugar she accidentally ate, but she reacts that way

to any new protocol I implement. The reaction is usually worse than

expected. I just ordered the SCDophilus to change the probiotic in

the yeast protocol, but she's waking up very early in the morning

since I started the protocol, even now when I'm not using the Candex

(I'm waiting for the probiotic).

things from the moms on the list when they use certain protocols but

I feel so bad because I'm affraid to do anything new because of her

reaction. I know she's suppose to react to it, but not in such

exagerated way. I don't know what to do, all of this only shows me

that she has real issues with detoxification and it seems to be very

complicated:(

moderators and moms who have always been a great help. Since she

started SCD, she has been more connected with us, and every day she's

socializing a little bit more even with people out of the family

circle. This gives me strength to continue...
