Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi all, I'm a new member here. My name's Qadoshyah and I'm the 18 year old sister to boy/girl twins and also the oldest of 11 kids. The twins are 2 1/2 years old and the boy has Down syndrome. We do alot of things with him nutritionally (vitamins & diet) to help him out. We've been doing things with him nutritionally since he was 8 months old - when we found out about all that we could actually do! My brother is not on SCD, but we've heard about the diet alot from early on. I don't feel he needs to be on the diet at this point, since he is extremely healthy. He is lactose-intolerant (cannot digest cow's milk), but that is easily taken care of because we have fresh, raw goat and cow milk, as we have our own goats and 1 cow for that very purpose (milk!). I thought I'd join this group since I was looking up some things on SCD to include into our book that my mom and I are writing about Down syndrome. I am taking some online college nutrition courses through UC Berkeley and will soon be taking a Cell Biology class. I thought this list would be interesting and informative spot, even though we aren't on the diet or the Autism spectrum. I'll probably mainly be a lurker, but thought I'd say a quick " hello! " Sorry for the lengthy first post . . . off for now, Qadoshyah www.gotdownsyndrome.net http://gotdownsyndrome.blogspot.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
