Hi Lynn,

Just to let newbies know rice milk isn't legal on the SCD.

Are you going to put him on SCD? There are formulas with goat yogurt,

some use nut milk, honey, a formula recipe in BTVC... (honey can be

sterilized in pressure cooker, directions in BTVC) If he is becoming

dehydrated you can make the electrolyte drink

It may help to put him on the diet to get him eating, starting with

the intro and then easy to digest foods. At first you can use legal

diluted juices etc.. for him to drink. Is he losing weight?

Hi

We started SCDiet when son was 22 months old old. We had been giving

rice milk previously (On gf/cf diet) but just bit the bullet and did

scd. After 6 months we have introduced clarified butter, mature (30+

days) cheddar, goat milk yogurt (made scd obviously!!)

He's doing fantastically well, we had an appt with the paed last

month, he's gone from having 5+ per day mushy diarrhoea nappies (with

undigested food, yeaty lumps etc) to having 1 bm per day. Nice brown

formed ones!. He's now at the 94th percentile for height and the 98th

percentile for weight.

We also have regular blood, stool, urine tests with our DAN! so we

KNOW he's healthy and doing great on SCD

some sign language and has a handful of spontaneous words.
