Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 My two autistic sons have been on SCD for about 4 months now with EXCELLENT success! I could list all of the progress that they have made, but that would be far too long (and not part of my question). Anyway, my youngest (who had the worst signs of gut problems and the most severe autistic traits of the two) has green poops that smell exactly like permanent solution (for hair). The chemical smell almost overwhelms the house. Before starting the diet we were considering chelation because he had very high levels of cadmium and aluminum in his hair and fecal sample. Could this smell be due to the natural chelating of these from his system? I'm just curious. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 , I can't say for sure, but SCD could definitely contribute to healing to the point of being able to move metals out. I guess it would be impossible to know, without a lab analysis of his stool. I have an old post from Elaine that refers to a doctor who specializes in heavy metal poisoning, who puts his patients on SCD. Let me know if you haven't read it. Whatever it is, there's no doubt something TOXIC is movin' on out! Good news! Hopefully, it will not last long. You didn't really say how long this has been happening. Let us know if things don't change soon. Until then, you might need to burn some incense or a scented candle!

Thanks! > > > When my son was on nystatin, diflucan and flagyl last year (simulaneously, short term), he had by turns a very distinct " old bread " smell to his stool (yeast) and then a very chemically smelling round of very dark greenish stool (lasted about three days). He then had this potent poop again several months later. After each session, his gut function cleared markedly, and labs after were great (our problem was more bacterial than yeast). So, you could be smelling the toxins bacteria/yeast release when they lyse. One way to find out for sure what you're dealing with is to send off a fecal screen for bact/yeast/parasites (especially good if you have prior labs to compare it to), OR (what we are doing now) send off hair, urine and fecal samples to a lab that tests for heavy metals. We do not " chelate " Glenn (other than his typical supp routine; boosts his body's own systems), so I wanted to see what, if anyhting we were kicking out. Have not got results back yet. Just a thought, hth! -christine paleo mom, -and glenn SCD/LOD (plus extra) PDD-NOS kiddo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
