What also happens is a compromised immune system regards even friendly

things as dangerous sometimes and when it reacts to something we are

not allergic to, we start trying to chase down sensitivities and start

eliminating foods. The problem is that the results can be inconsistent.

It becomes the needle-in-the haystack search.

Example: Junior is suspected of being allergic to eggs. After a short

time on SCD, he is able to tolerate them. later he has a setback or a

cold and a little relapse and suddenly eggs are again a problem food.

Weeks later the eggs are OK.

Overall as healing progresses many sensitivities lessen and some

disappear (with me it happened to be eggs).Occasionally I am " off " with

dairy or nuts and give them a short rest.

Maybe, maybe not. I don;t feel that Hunter has is suffering from permanent

disabiity from starting SCD later, although we do utilize vitamin and mineral

supplements and enzymes as well. He didn't start until 51/2 and is doing fab.

Antoinette,

Sorry to sound difficult but actually I am a still a bit confused.

Mimi has mentioned many times that it is important to get a child on

SCD early. As they age it becomes more difficult. I never read that

five was the crucial age and would like to learn more from your source

of the post.

The second point is about older people losing sensitivities more

slowly-- I have been told celiac is the most difficult to heal.

Jodi Bager (J. Gourmet) has UC and can take back foods more often than

Lass (her co-author of Grain-Free Gourmet) is celiac and

like me has to be more careful.

Perhaps that's why I am not healed . As long as I am watchful, there

are long stretches of remission.

I also never heard that all children do better without supplements and

enzymes. What I have always said is I personally have not taken many (I

do use acidophilus sometimes) and happen to be one who is able to go

mostly by the book. But I have come to understand that this is not the

case for everyone.(Nothing is the case for everyone:-)

Elaine is very clear about continuing helpful medication with the goal

of hopefully being able to eventually taper it down and in some cases

be able to do away with it altogether under medical supervision. She

also approved of enzymes and supplements that help. She did not want

parents to get stressed over them and over expensive testing.

Are you referring to the Long Island List? I know of no Beach Island

list.

The thing is Antoinette that you very often say you don't use

alternatives and it seems to imply that others will do better without

them.

We both agree they are not only permitted here but we have a legal and

illegal list as a guide.

Don't stress, I will get the link from Mimi tomorrow. I am weak in the

autism area.
