Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 OK. So now I'm totally confused. First, I don't know that we won't see " symptoms " anyone. This is for autism not any kind of bowel/intestinal issue. Yes, these issues exist but my daughter doesn't have bowel issues. So would you say we're free of symptoms? > > , > You mentioned Larabars are for the advanced.

Since we believe autism symptoms have links to intestinal issues, that is a very difficult question to answer. I don't have frequent bowel issues but can't eat advanced foods very often after six years. This may disillusion some who thought by then a person would be cured, but I am thrilled just to be under control. Also if you are the exception, others may just assume Larabars are OK across the board after three months, six months or after no " D " etc. etc. and maybe they might be for some, but not for all. There are people who get really excited about being able to order ready made food, but I'm afraid I get excited over finding the things I make at home are very good and worry free. > > Carol F.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Digestive Wellness does not list the chocolate and chocolate mint Larabars. My reference was the Larabar home page. The ones on DW seem to have legal ingredients and they qualify the " natural lemon " flavor but Cheri, if you decide to use these and see suspicious symptoms, please be cautious. By saying this I am not saying they are legal as I don't have that authority. Carol F. Celiac, MCS, Latex Allergy, EMS SCD 6 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Personally I would not take the risk. We are having such good success with home made foods, takes longer but it has been worth the inconvenience. Seeing our autistic daughter get well has been such a blessing. I can't imagine anything being worth such a risk at this time. Seeing her vanish into deliriums was bout all I could take. But then maybe I am more motivated to stay safe than others, since I had advanced celiac and neurological issues too, and we are a family of five on this journey back to health.

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 My daughter does not have GI issues either but I am careful not to give her advanced SCD foods. She recently had some dried fruit and her stims increased. My daughter has been on SCD for a long time but always cheats so we never get to the advanced level with her. HTH,Mimi > > OK.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 At www.digestivewellness.com they sell only the SCD legal Larabars... helpful for those who can have raw food. Worth checking out. Agape, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
