Guest guest Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Have you gone back to the intro diet for a day or two to see if this helps? My guess would be that the behaviors...laughing and such...are more diem off symptoms. If it were me, I would go back to intro just for two days or something to help him clear things up.

It should pass and things go smoothly again. Carol F. SCD 6 years, eliac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Dear SCD pal, Try not to panic. In Elaine's BTVC book she talks about the three month regression. It happened to us too. Our daughter regressed in many ways. The most disturbing for us was the return of diarrhea, seizures and delirium spells. Her immune system was so messed up, she also ended up in the hospital with a virus. What worked for us is going back to basics. We did intro with her not only for the diarrhea, but to make sure that the bad gut bugs where being starved. By the end of two weeks this regression was over. All the progress we had made was thankfully not lost. Hang In There! I know that this is frightening. But I trust that if you stick with the book and 100% SCD, that " this too shall pass " .

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I agree with the wonderful advice given by Robin and Carol. What are you feeding him? Have you checked if he tolerates all his supplements?

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Thanks I will give this a try. This can be soooo discouraging, epecially when your child is a food self limiter.We are down to about 5 foods right now.... It is really tough! > >Reply-To: pecanbread >To: " pecanbread " <pecanbread > >Subject: Re: What Happened? >Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 06:13:20 -0700 > >Dear SCD pal, > >Try not to panic. > >In Elaine's BTVC book she talks about the three month regression.
