SCD and acid reflex

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any advice on using SCD for a child with acid reflux ?

I have a friend who's young son grew up on rice cereal and in my opinion

this contributes to the inbalance of throwing your Ph off and causing an acidic

environment.

BUT, I could be wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

CD - 4 1/2 yrs.

SCD - 4

Antibiotics (in my case) threw off my guts' balance (in addition to a really bad

trip to the Caribbean), stress and bad eating.

I had Acid Reflux (which caused me ulcers and a hernia). Docs at first were

telling me to stay away from citrus fruits, coffee, alcohol, etc; I was more of

a heavy soda drinker. I went on pills to curve it, but got the most relief just

by stopping drinking soda, staying away from tomato-heavy products, and curbing

my orange juice drinking. But, that was pre-SCD.

I still have IBS but my acid reflux has reduced significantly. No more

burning/hurting tummy to the point of collapsing.

To be honest, I think it's the preservatives they put in food that causes

digestive/acid reflux. The good thing about SCD is that you avoid the majority

of them because you don't eat processed foods (save for some juice, and the

occasional, cured sugar-free bacon which may contain them.) Actually, I got

really sick from a sugar-free bacon last week -- I attribute that to the

nitrates.
