success and constipation questions after first week

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

We are now on day 9, and although we are feeling a bit yuck, my 2

kids (5yr boy with ASD, and 3yr NT girl) have not had any diarrhea

for 4 days. Seems like a miracle to me. I could count the number

of times what comes out of my daughter looks normal on one hand.

Ewan was going really well on GF/CF,corn, banana and egg free for a

year or so, but has had horrible diarrhea since february.

Anyway my question is about other family members doing the diet and

getting enough fibre. Myself and my husband have been doing the

diet with the kids. I have always had digestive issues, and have

been GF/CF for 2 1/2 years. Doing this is the only thing that has

helped a pain syndrome I have in my hands, so I am hoping for more

relief with SCD. My husband is fairly healthy - although with all

the diet gains we have made he seems determined to get some benefit

from SCD too. Anyway he is now very constipated and is walking

round looking very sad and uncomfortable. I suggested to him to eat

some food with more fibre, but wanted to ask you all what is best to

do. Should he jump forward a few stages and be eating raw fruit and

veges?

Any help appreciated. A sick husband can be harder to deal with

than sick kids!
