Hello Everyone -

My name is Margie on and I love in West Columbia, S.C. I have

a son, Wesley, 5 1/2 with Autism. We have implemented the GF/CF diet

for a year now. We saw some minor changes but nothing extraordinary.

We had an IgG ELISA test ran on our son and he has allergies that seem

to be similar of those that coincide with the SCD. I would like to

implement this diet for our son but I do not know where to start. I

have looked at the Pecanbread.com website and I have read most of

Breaking the Vicious Cycle. Can anyone give me tips on how to start

this and stay focused and positive about the change. Thanks for

everything and I look forward to being a part of this group.

Here are some links with tips for getting started on the diet:

To stay focused on it it helps to make a chart that tracks new foods

added, changes in bowel movements (frequency/day, gas, colour,

Diarrhea, Constipation...), changes in behaviours (positive or

negative (+++, ++, +..) etc. With this chart you will be able to

keep track of which foods Wesley is ready for and whih foods need to

wait a while longer to be tolerated. The chart is a great motivator

to keep going with the diet because you can see how things improve

along the way. As the diet progresses many (including myself) tend

to forget how bad things were when they started. It helps to see it

in black and white.
