Going to start the SCD diet

[Guest guest]

Hello. My name is Adrienne and I have a four year old daughter with

autism. She has been GFCF for a year now and taking several

supplements to detox her system and remove yeast. We also started

Risperdal to help her mood and anxiety. The diet helped improve her

eye contact, but not much more. The medication has helped her moods

slightly, but we just started it a week and a half ago. I read on

another chat group about this diet. I have order the book " Breaking

the Vicious Cycle " and am waiting for it to come in the mail. So right

now I only have a few questions:

1. Are most people that are on the SCD diet also gluten and casein

free?

2. Do people also use enzymes and how do you know which ones to use?

Thank you,

Adrienne

SCD is gluten free, and can be casein free too, just drop the cheese and cow's

milk yogurt.

I use No Fenols and Zyme Prime. That's what works best for my family.

Welcome, Adrienne,

Here is the link to legal enzymes.

http://pecanbread.com/new/enzymes1.html

Besides yogurt and cheese, you should leave out butter if you are

trying to be casein free. But if you make or buy clarified butter

(ghee) than you have taken out the casein and you can use it (although

some are still concerned and use other fats instead such as coconut

oil).

The diet is automatically gluten free, by virtue of being entirely

grain free. Many of us with kids on the autistic spectrum

successfully have them on goat milk yogurt made according to the SCD

guidelines. My own daughter takes enzymes from Houston

neutraceuticals to deal with any casein problems that might cause and

also the No-Fenol enzyme to help her process the fenol load in the

many fruits and veggies she eats.

I'm new. Don't take what I say as being very authoritative.
