Please tell me its going to get better

[Guest guest]

We started SCD almost 2 weeks ago with our DS. So far the only food

we " think " he tolerates is cauliflower, green beans and bananas. I

say think because how do you tell a reaction to the food from die off?

He can't digest carrots, walnut flour(we just tried this sunday so he

could have chicken nuggets) or boiled raisins(they showed up in his

BM's) and he had a very itchy reaction to DCCC.

His reaction to the boiled raisins was interesting. He was up itchy

all night, then he peed so much the next day he leaked 3 times and

then finally the next day he pooped them out. Was this a die off

reaction?

He doesn't like the meat anymore. He will sit and chew and chew the

chicken and then won't swallow it. He keeps saying get me something I

like.

He has eaten so much squish(cauliflower) at this point that his

breath smells sulfer(y).

He is uncharacteristically moody and difficult(this started a couple

of months ago). He has always been the happiest, most active child.

Now everything is a struggle. Some days we can't stand to even be

around him. Which really hurts because he is 3. This is supposed to

be the fun time. We walk around on eggshells around him. Something

can be perfectly fine one minute and then the next he is throwing a

fit.

Should I be expecting any improvement in the eczema yet? It is awful.

His legs from top to bottom are covered. The tops of his feet are

raw, cracked, flaky and just so sore and horrible looking. His arms

and hands. His belly itches and it has never been on his belly. He is

getting spots behind his ears again and they have broken out for more

than a year. He is miserable

Is the fact that it is moving around a good sign? Is there light at

the end of this tunnel?

He doesn't sleep more than 2 or 3 hours at a time. He has maybe slept

all night 5 times in his life but at least we were getting 4 and 5

hour stretches at a time. Being tired all the time makes it so much

harder to deal with for all of us.

Am I right in thinking that if his eczema were a food allergy related

thing then since he has been on such a restricted diet for two weeks

shouldn't it be improving? Or does die off interfere with this?

How long can he continue on this restricted diet and be healthy?

He is taking kirkman everyday vit. twice per day and carlson's clo

1/4 teaspoon twice per day.

How do you keep a child who cant tolerate eggs, nuts and fruit full

on SCD?

What kind of testing is suggested for metal toxicity(he was

vaxinated) and mineral/vit. deficiencies, bacteria etc.
