Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 My daughter has been on this diet since January 2006. For the first 2 months she gained 4 pounds, but ever since then we have not been very successful. She is 15 years old and weighs 21 kg. She is 136 cm tall. Heights and weight are in proportion, but I still would like her to gain some weight. Whenever I give her something that is not SCD legal in order to gain weight she vomits. She also gets very mucous when she eats or drinks anything with raw and cook SCD legal yoghurt. She gets constipated if I give her anything with almond flour. We have increased her cold pressed organic oil intake but she can only tolerate 1 ½ tablespoon of oil per meal. She had aspiration pneumonia two weeks ago and had to be on antibiotic, now her constipations is worse than ever. We have an appointment next week with the hospital. My question is: Are there any blood or stool tests that can be done to find out if she absorbs the food. I don’t see any food in her stool. If you have any other suggestions, they are very welcome. Thanks you very much for your help. Beate, Mom to 15 severe reaction to vaccination at 18 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hi, Beate - Dede here! I'm so very new to all this, but I've read there are tests that can be done to see if she's asorbing any nutrients from food. I've also been told that it can take up to two years before one's insides get well. Sounds like she's had a tough time of it and introducing new stuff needs to go slow and with caution. " Caution " and " slow " are new words to my whole lifestyle ... I'm 58, so it's an adjustment!! You're in my thoughts. Dede > > My daughter has been on this diet since January 2006.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Beate, Antibiotics are very hard on the gut. You can use SCD yogurt and legal probiotics to get the good bacteria back into the gut. You may need to go back to the intro diet as well. Bananas and avocados have lots of calories and are easy to digest. Do not give your daughter SCD illegal foods in order to gain weight. mom to -12 SCD 4/23/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
