Two weeks and seeing changes

[Guest guest]

We have had our son on SCD for two weeks now. I just read the

section on Pecanbread about reactions, and I feel better. I was just

about to post a question about his behavior. We are seeing more

hyperactivity, verbal stimming, less focus, some old OCD behaviors

like opening and closing cabinets, pushing buttons over and over,

covering his ears, and the past couple of days being very emotional

and throwing little fits when he is taken away from a stimming

activity. On the other side of this we are seeing improvements in

his bowel issues. Up until we started SCD we were having to give him

high doses of magnesium citrate and vitamin C to get his stool to be

almost liquid so he would have a bm. If we didn't, he would go days

and days without going. Since we started we don't have to give the

vitamin C, and I didn't even give him the mag cit today and he had a

bm that was definitely more solid (not perfect, but no a total liquid

blow out like usual). Because of the behaviors, I was getting

nervous that he might be reacting to something he is eating, but I

think he may be just having die off and issues because of the changes

going on. If someone thinks something else is happening, please let

me know what you think. I'm going to keep on doing what I've been

doing and hopefully continue to see improved bowels.
