Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Today in 18 day, my son awakes up early in the morning again!!(he has been sleeping until 10 or 11 o'clock) he was happy, with energy, good awareness, smiling, stammering (he is 9 but he can’t talk), of course I felt really happy. He was great until he made his second meal (we are trying he eats 5 times a day) at 12 o’clock and after he went to the bathroom to make poop, he made it a lot and really “watery”, two days ago his poop had a good consistence. This situation is diarrhea? He just made it once a day. After he finish to make poop all the energy disappear like a magic act. Only after the second meal he was recovering the energy again. During the 18 SCD days, he had has days with a normal poop, and days like today. He is eating the same foods. I can’t understand what is going on. Thanks for your help.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 , I'm glad you saw a ray of hope today... I'm sure he will have many more good days to come. Since he has been on SCD for less than three weeks, I'm sure you will still see some " ups and downs " . With this diet, it is uncommon to see a steady, even course of improvement. It is much more common to see some good days, followed by bad. You must remember that if there was an imbalance in the gut, with bad gut pathogens growing out of control, they need to die and be eliminated from the body. This will not all happen at once, in the first week of the diet. It will likely take time, and occur in " waves " . Think of a trying to climb a very steep mountain. Would you expect to go STRAIGHT up... from the bottom, directly to the top, without slipping back? No... you would probably go one way, then turn and criss-cross, carefully winding your way back and forth. At times, on that winding mountain path, you may slip back.... until you are used to the effort of climbing. Now and then, you would need to stop and rest. SLOWLY, you will eventually reach the top, despite some missed steps. It's the same with SCD. You are working with a living body... and this is a very organic process. You may feel distressed to see him with diarrhea again... but it is one way his body is trying to eliminate toxins. This is hard work for your sweet boy. But, I am sure there will be many more happy, smiling days to come. Are you making sure to peel and cook all fruits and vegetables well? Making everything as easy to digest as possible? My daughter is also 9 yrs old... (with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, does not have speech, etc.) . my best to you, Patti, mom to Katera doubt Today in 18 day, my son awakes up early in the morning again!!(he has been sleeping until 10 or 11 o'clock) he was happy, with energy, good awareness, smiling, stammering (he is 9 but he can't talk), of course I felt really happy.

This first year(s) of healing is going to be a challenge for all of us new here. I am glad that we are not alone. It is so nice to have those with more time, to help us keep our hope when we have doubt and feel overwhelmed by his roller coaster ride...or as Patti eloquently compared to a steep mountain climb. What keeps us going is the beautiful view when so " high " in these " mysterious mountains " ....when our daughter started to talk, our first hug from her, her first ability to have imagination, to play and smile for the first time. The beautiful scenery at such heights is the delight...the " breathlessness and exhaustion " ...well " rest " when you can....just keep eating SCD and enjoy the ride! This is what I do to keep me going: I Take advantage of those " hours " that will some day turn to days.....and enjoy the " scenery " when I can. Journaling helps me much. I Mark good hours or days with smile faces....so on the bad days, or when we have regressions and set backs, I can flip back and easily spot them and read them. Or I do searches for SCD testimonials...this keeps us going to...sometimes the " good scenery scenes " of others keep one going when they are having doubt...I know that they have helped us during " regressions " or " slow progress " times. God Bless you Antoinette and (celiac) parents to -5 (celiac/adhd) Kiki-2 (celiac/autism) and Bubbles -1 (Hyperekplexia/and more) SCD 2/06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
