Transition to SCD from GF/CF & LOD

[Guest guest]

Dear Listmates,

We have an 8-year-old autistic son. We have followed the CF/GF and

then the LOD for over 2 years. He had made steady progress. However,

his stool is mushy most of the time and we have to fight for yeast from

time to time (with anti-yeast Rx). We decided to give SCD a try after

reading up on it.

Our frist question is if it is necessary for us to start at Stage one

even though he is already on many food on the advanced stages.

Any input/comments is greatly appreciated.

Although he may be eating advanced food his stool is still mostly mushy

and you are battling yeast which may indicate a problem with one or

more food he is eating now. If you start with the intro diet to clean

things out for 2-3 days and then gradually add foods you will get a

better idea of which foods he tolerates now and which foods he will

need to wait to eat until more healing occurs.
