Questions about Supplements and Progress

[Guest guest]

Hi All-

I was wanting to share about some things I have noticed with my

daughter and see if anyone has a similar experience.

I have noticed on the days my daughter doesn't feel well that:

a. she is absolutely opposed to drinking at all

b. she insists on being held or very close at all times, separation

is very difficult

c. she has an insatiable appetite...I mean she just eats and demands

more no matter how much she has eaten

d. she has an impossible time going to sleep

e. she doesn't stay asleep and sleeps very light

f. she perseverates and repeats everything

g. she becomes inconsolable when upset

So, I am not sure whether this is a reaction to the food I have added

(she is currently eating green beans, zucchini, lamb and squash-

nothing else except the electrolyte drink), or whether it is a

progression of what happens when you first are on the diet(she has

been on the diet since 8/2/07). I have tried adding talapia fish,

veal, vennison, buffalo, fruit, etc.

THe symptoms are almost exactly the same each time and I always take

away the food I had added. Today I added 1/8 tsp of the scd goat

yogurt and 1/2 capsule of the scd vitamin c from kirkland. I also

recieved the scd calcium supplement from kirkland and I really want

to try some today, as she is getting no calcium and I am worried

about that. Someone suggested I try the canned salmon for the

calcium, but she has reacted to the salmon...what to do!?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Watch the reaction to the yogurt. Hopefully she'll be able to get her

calcium from that.

Have you tried goat cheese?

If you add the calcium supplement, don't add any new foods for a few

days so you can you watch how she tolerates it.
