Re: Re: 2-3 month die off question

[Guest guest]

THANK YOU! We are not alone. So others who started when we did are having

" fun " .

KiKi's stimming came back at the swimming pool yesterday (typical past behavior

when she is stressed out...it had gone when in crowds....she hates crowds....and

die off explains a lot). Has been gone for almost 1 month! Plus I have die

off, my son has now joined us also...whiney and tantrumy! KiKi has thrush

again....was up 8 times last night screaming...at least this time she knew who I

was...thank the lord. In the past she would not recognize me when she awaken

like this. I feel just icky. So, after this post I am going to heal....and

deal with my " DIE OFF FAMILY " ! lol....yuck! Maybe take a nap with my babies or

something.

WE fought the thrush with diet last time and won. Antifungals where not all

that helpful for her. They caused her to throw up and caused diarrhea/and they

where expensive and especially compounded SCD safe too! With much frustration

and further research, this is when I learned that Elaine discovered that the

anti-yeast antifungal can cause the overgrowth of other " bad gut " guys. urgh!

This is also when I learned to trust in the power of SCd alone. We had no

choice but to stop the prescriptions. WE succeeded in getting rid of the thrush

by just doing what Eliane suggests in the BTVC book...we went back to intro. I

trust that we will be able to do it again. When the gut goes back into balance

the yeast can not thrive.

It is funny but after the rewards of our first HUGE die off from over indulging

in goat yogurt that caused a miserable killing off of " bad gut " guys....I look

forward to seeing what changes occur in KiKi again.

Isn't there another die off at 6 months or 9 months? I recall this but can't

find it anywhere. Can someone help me/us to find this?

2-3 month, 5 month (which was our very long one), 7 month, and 9 month

regressions were the ones recorded by Judy Gorman and the group of Moms who

tried SCD under Dr. Baker's care. At the time of printing Dr. Baker's Autism

book I don't think the group had been on the diet for very long (a little over a

year), but I have heard that regular regression can occur up to 18 months. They

are unexplainable by infractions and too commonly shared to be anything else. I

assume this test group couldn't add other biomed treatments as that would skew

the results.

I am interested in the 2006 ed. of Dr. Bakers book since I assume it will

have a lot more about SCD. In the 2005 ed. Baker states in bold, " SCD is one of

the best treatments I have found so far for many children on the autism

spectrum. " But then states that his experience with patients going straight to

SCD and no other treatments prior is limited so it is hard to say *conclusively*

to what extent SCD contributed to the success. So at the time he had no

statistics. There should be stats. in the next edition.

Take care,

Elijah, 3.7, signs of ASD were gone since the 5 month until this regression

came, failure to thrive, leaky-gut, eczema, and many allergies.

Isn't there another die off at 6 months or 9 months? I recall this but can't

find it anywhere. Can someone help me/us to find this?

Dear and Suzanne and to all, I know that Elaine said One Year for

Celiac....and Two years for Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis before " cured " . This

would make since what you say below about regression occurring up to 18 months.

Now in light of New RESEARCH realizing that ASD kids have undiagnosed damage to

their intestines, this makes much since. I guess we need to be patient. AT

least we are already seeing success. It truly motivates us to stick around and

keep up with the sacrafice!

Dear Suzzane, I am glad to hear that you too, will try to trust in Elaine's

knowledge. Elaine claimed that many interventions are not needed and often

interfere with SCD success. So we will not be using prescription remedies for

yeast anymore either. Especially after our success of seeing it vanish with no

help from the doctors. But it did take about 10 -14 days of 100% adherence, so

be patient. Oh and we went back to INTRO for three days( because of diarrhea

and painful thrush in her mouth and tonsils). Yuk...but worked.

Many DAN! kids are eating GFCFSF and other diets that do not allow the gut to

heal and thus keep the vicious cycle going ....this is why I think many DAN!

doctors and other doc prescribe the antifungals REFLEXIVELY. They truly do not

understand how SCDiet works.

One by one our testimonials will teach them. Elaine hoped that research would

be done in this area so that more doctors would realize that SCD is the solution

for so many GI problems and some ASD kids. It was her dream to have " main

stream " medicine accept this, like back in Dr. Haas's day (in the 30's and

50's). No one " wants to eat this way " , so it did not gain popularity.....and I

think that this is why we no repeat history......and wait for it to catch on

again with the Medical Community.
