Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 I want to give you all an update! My son and I went SCD together. My son is mildly autistic and I have an autoimmune disease. I decided to follow the Pecanbread protocol for both of us to make things either, even though I am not on the spectrum. I just want to say that I think it's working for me as well. My son has had a marked reduction in bad behaviors and has made some really astonishing cognitive leaps in the last couple of weeks. Today he was talking about his brain, saying his brain was working...he was using his tool kit and he made an arrangement of pieces and said it was a cactus! He then talked about how it would hurt to sit on a cactus. These are all abstract concepts, things he could only grasp with extreme difficulty before. I have an autoimmune disease, and I recently found a doctor who believes that I have gut dysfunction as well. At the time I saw her for the first time, I was in the midst of the intro. I told her a bit about the diet and she thought it looked OK. But I've been wondering all this time if it was working for me. My swelling has gone down, but I didn't really know if I was reacting to foods. Well, now I know. My son had almond butter brownies for his birthday. He tolerated the almond butter fine. I, however, did not! I can tolerate one piece of his brownies, but not more. I also made him little egg bread sandwiches with almond butter, honey, and salt. He loves them. I ate one for breakfast and one for lunch. Not an hour after lunch, I was running for the bathroom! So I feel confident that this is working for me too. I remember someone saying they had " perfect poops " before. Well I was the same way, until now! B.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 congratulations! I have an autoimmune disease too, and I think that since the immune system is 70% in the gut, it stands to reason that anything that helps the gut, helps immune problems. : D Go us!
