Die-Off Effect or Allergy and/or Intolerance

[Guest guest]

My son is 2 1/2 years old and was just diagnosed with autism about a

month ago. We've been on the diet for a little over 2 weeks and within

the last week or so I've been adding a soy based probiotic to his

juice. He's normally a very easy going kid with very few normal 2 year

old tantrums but since I've started the probiotic he's been having

chronic sinus trouble and bouts of screaming and tantrum throwing. I'd

like some opinions as to whether this could be a die-off or an

intolerance to the soy or both.

Hi April,

Welcome to the list!

I cannot tell whether this could be a die-off or an

intolerance to the soy or both. However, I would recommend to only use

the SCD legal brands of probiotics, There are SCD legal probiotics in

the probiotic section of www.pecanbread.com

Doing 100% SCD gives so much more powerful results than doing 99% SCD.

I should know since I am the mother of two kids who are on the diet.

One is doing the diet 100% while the other cheats about once a week

or once a month. There is an amazing difference in their progress..

Hi, April,

There are only 2 legal probiotics on SCD-- legal forms of acidophilus

and S. Boulardi. Soy is not legal on SCD. Try changing to a legal

probiotic and maybe go back to the intro diet for a couple of days.

Let us know how this works.

I checked out the probiotics on the website but I couldn't find any that were in

powder or liquid form. Does anyone have a specific brand they like?

SCDophilus is a capsule, but you could open it and sprinkle on the

powdery contents.

Do you know if it remains active if you put it in juice?

Hi April,

Yes, as long as the beverage or food is cool or cold it will be fine.

Hot foods or liquids will kill the good bacteria.

Hi April we were advised by our biomed to remove soy, as well as corn,

Gluten and Caesin right off the bat, even before our first

appointment. A lot of ASD kids have trouble with soy. hope this

helps, since I took them all out at once I cant say whether it will

reduce those chronic tantrums (and I know how bad it gets!) - but I can

say since being free of all these things for 6 months and now SCD for a

few days my little one certainly hasnt had one of the violent tantrums

he used to have for about a month now. My head is once again safe from

saucepans lol.
