New to group; Need help on replacing a few non-SCD compliant supplements

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

The GFCF diet has done very little for my 4 yr. old son with

autism. We<my wife and I> have been battling his various gut bugs and

yeast for about a year now. I want to try the SCD diet, and the first

thing I wanted to do was replace 3 of his supplements that are non-SCD

compliant. I need suggestions for replacements. I need to replace

Kirkman's Spectrum Complete, calcium powder w/vitamin D, and zinc.

Kirkman's hypoallergenic calcium powder w/vitamin D appears to be OK.

I noticed Brainchild Nutritionals has liquid zinc in flavored and

unflavored and says its SCD-compliant, but how can that be as I notice

xantham gum as an ingredient? How many use the GI ProChild? Would it

make a good alternative to K's SC? By the way, my son gets the

majority of his supplements in his beverages. He does not swallow

pills, capsules, etc., nor does he take chewables or gummies. Thank

you and God bless!

Here is a link explaining why Elaine approved the Brainchild zinc.

Here is where the legal supplements are listed.

It seems that liquid supplements are more likely to have illegals.

Could you open up the capsules of a legal multi-vitamin and mix them

into applesauce or something? If the contents taste bad, could you

open the capsules, mix with a small amount of liquid and squirt into

the back of the mouth with a medicine syringe? This technique is used

by many for the bad-tasting stuff. I guess it's over quickly that way.
