Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 We have been doing SCD legal foods for a little over a month, but had to restart about 2 weeks ago because we were just going too fast. This time through, stool improved almost immediately. We are definitely able to tell when he's not tolerating something (carrots and bananas so far) because his stool goes mushy again. We held off on starting any yogurt until yesterday and started with 1 tsp. in his ice cream with cows yogurt. We were not casein free before starting the diet and he's always had cows milk (although I have no idea if he was tolerating it or not because he's always had mushy stool..) I just read advice to someone else about having no yogurt for about 3 months. Have we started too soon? If we should stop, should he be taking acidopholis (sp?) instead? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Leah, It's really only for those who have been CF before SCD that we recommend to hold all dairy out for several months. If he was not having obvious reactions to it before, I would put my money on continuing the yogurt because the potential benefits of the healing properties it has to offer outweigh the risks in your child's case, in my opinion. Just keep going with a small amount.... and watch closely for any changes for the next week or so. Patti yogurt too soon?

If he is still doing well with 1 tsp of cow yogurt then forge ahead Sheila, SCD 2/01, UC 22yrs mom of and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Hi Sheila, Good news. We gave him another spoon of yogurt (second day) in his evening icecream and today at 1pm he had an excellent stool! Yeah! I guess we're o.k. for now but will keep a close eye. The ice cream we make is the egg white one. Can't remember if this one was from pecanbread or not, but it has 6 egg whites (beat 1st until stiff), 4 egg yolks, 1/4 c. oil, 1/4 c. honey. Put in the ice cream mixer and that's it! We give it in small doses once a day and he loves it:) Leah Hi Leah, > We have been doing SCD legal foods for a little over a month, but had > to restart about 2 weeks ago because we were just going too fast.
