Hello,

My name is , and I am getting ready to start this crazy diet,

with my family. My husband of 15 years, has occasional heartburn, and

used to have other tummy issues fairly often. I have 3 kids, the

oldest, is 13 and has an Asperger's label. He also has fought reflux,

and a hiatal hernia. At 12, he tested positive for allergies to milk

and soy. After being off these two, he has less reflux. My daughter

is 11, and I also have an 8 year old who seems to have problems with

constipation.

Okay, so I've thought, many times about doing the Gfcf diet with ,

but couldn't bring myself to make the change. Last year, my niece came

down with something. She has a great many symptoms like celiac, but

doesn't test positive for it. They have yet to find her dx. Meanwhile,

she went off gluten and has done well. My sister, then, found the SCD

diet, and told me enough to make me curious. I read Elaine's book, and

believe that is not the ONLY one in our house that could benefit

from this. I love to cook, and am hoping that summer time will be an

easy time to transition to this very big change in our diets. I'm

hoping the house will find it not so tough.

I was still pretty skeptical about it all until I found the pecanbread

website where there were many dairy free recipes listes. I am not

ready to give him something that he's allergic to. Anyway, I'm looking

forward to getting to know people on here, and finding others who are

doing this diet with success. We'll be starting the intro soon. (I'm

trying to use up stuff in the fridge and pantry.)
