Guest guest Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Well, I don't need my triglycerides checked because they did do the test in January. Mine were at 160. My total cholesterol has come down from 230 to 206! That was some good news. My family doctor gave me a return-to-work note, so I guess it's back to salt mines. On this go around, I am going to try to work with pain medications. I'll start slowly and see how it goes. My doctor also vetoed MUSC for now. He wants me to stick with Duke at least for the time being. Everything is going to hinge on the elastase test results. Either way, I'll go back to Duke, but at point the diagnosis process begins is still up in the air. I told him how awful I was off the enzymes, and he said, that's pretty compelling evidence of pancreatic involvement, even though he has doubted the insufficiency diagnosis all along. I also told him I think I have CP, and that the evidence is just not showing yet. All he said to that was, " Well. " He's a pretty good guy, and he said he'll give me the pain medication when I need it. Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 It's very difficult to pinpoint problems with the diet when there has been infractions with illegals. You're just not going to make much progress unless you can eliminate these events. I know it's hard... but that's the truth. The other thing I see is that he's eating foods that I personally would consider too advanced for someone at four weeks. Broccoli may be " tolerated " as far as you know.... but there's no getting around the fact that it is in a more advanced, more difficult-to-digest food group (cabbage family). You also list pecans and almonds.... do you mean WHOLE nuts? If so, this is VERY advanced. If you're going to restart the diet, I would urge you not to use the above mentioned advanced foods. And, I would suggest swapping out the nut flour for nut BUTTER in recipes for cookies, etc. Also... is the almond butter you're using made from blanched almonds? Or does it have the little brown flecks in it.... that come from the almond skins? Just curious. I would not suggest starting goat yogurt yet. You really need to go back to square one with the basic diet.... keep up the acidophilus, though. As far as what's causing the chewing behavior.... is this something that started before you started SCD? Or after? You list almond flour, almond butter and almonds in the foods he's eating.... I'm wondering if he could be bothered by the high salicylate content in almonds? We find that quite a few of the kids with autism are sensitive to these compounds in almonds.... and do better on another nut butter/flour.... pecan butter, hazelnut butter, macadamia butter. Definitely think about restarting with intro and figuring out a strategy for 100% strict compliance. Patti update Hi everyone. Just giving a quick update. No new changes. We have been on the diet for about 4 or so weeks. The only real thing I notice is chewing. He chews on the sleeves of his shirt to the point that they are getting wrecked. He is quite bitey too. Could this be yeast? He has had some infractions (Halloween) and yesterday got into some rice puffs (for my daughter). But the chewing has been going on for weeks now with no promise of ending any time soon. He is currently on: L.Acidophilus Cod Liver oil Complete Omega (SCD legal) Mag citrate MB12 injection (everyday) FOODS: almond flour, almond butter, honey, eggs, zuchini, butternut squash, meats, brocolli, spaghetti squash, apple cider, OJ (SCD legal), pecans, almonds, coconut (all in cookies). coconut, olive or safflower oils. Everything we eat is organic, including all nut flours and meats. I am thinking of trying goat yogurt (made at home) but he has been casein free so I am a little hesitant. Any ideas would be great. I am thinking of starting all over again...with the intro diet.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Meleah, Yes.... I agree! Somehow I missed that. Thanks for catching it. Patti Re: update Patty, She also mentions coconut. That is very advanced as well. I'd drop that one, too.
