Elaine's Constipation Protocol and Importance of doing Intro Diet

Subject: Constipation

Question: How can I treat constipation on the SCD?

Elaine writes: " I will offer my remedy which obliges you to take it only when

you are at home such as weekends as some people find it qorks quite

bombastically). If you live in Canada, buy a bottle of Prune Nectar. It is

legal on SCD. At breakfast mix about 4 tablespoons with one half cup Tropicana

OJ or freshly squeezed orange juice and then eat breakfast. If it does not work

the first day, try it the next so it will help to start on the weekend. It may

cause you to pass watery stool buit it will unplug you. "

Also here are some tips about doing intro diet:

Please start out with the intro diet and gradually introduce new foods and watch

carefully for any reactions. If the reaction is unbearable, BUT not life

threatening, stop the food, yet don't give up on it by leaving it out forever.

In a few weeks of practicing SCD, eat the food again to see if this

" intolerance " has been healed out of. If the reaction was life threatening,

never give that food again. This would be like anaphylaxis, which is the only

true allergy reaction that we should avoid. Otherwise, as the leaky and damaged

gut heals, most of these " allergies " and irritating reactions VANISH.

Many parents skip the intro diet and jump right in and get wonderful results. If

you are one of these parents please consider restarting the diet with the

introduction as outlined in BTVC; you will get even better results! I understand

that many parents cannot restart the diet because they are overwhelmed by all

the other therapies, but please remember that the real SCD will improve the

results from the other therapies.

If you did not follow this introduction to SCD, then you are not doing the real

SCD from BTVC. The real SCD means that your child is only eating foods that he

can tolerate, if he cannot tolerate a certain SCD legal food then he will not

get the full benefit of SCD.

If you are a new parent and the intro diet seems to be daunting, should you go

back to doing nothing or GFCF? No, many parents report getting great results

with just eliminating starches, sugar and the most advanced SCD foods. Try using

SCD foods that are not too advanced but remember that you might not be getting

the full advantage of SCD. However, your child will learn to like veggies and

other nutritious foods and you might have an easier time, restarting SCD in a

few months. It is so important to use that SCD healing yogurt to stop this

vicious cycle. Goat yogurt is typically easier for our ASD children to handle

and digest in the beginning.
