Re: Fab BMs and celiacs question

[Guest guest]

These are both legal, but should not be tried until well into the healing

stage. I believe scd protocall says six months, but we did try that at five

months with no problems here in our house. Please make sure to prepare them

as directed in BTVC. All dried beans, lentels, ect. must be properly

soaked, drained, and cooked. You can check the BTVC web site for legal and

illegal foods. Just click on the " legal list " . It is a very extensive

list.

Hi Anita,

I can give you advice on the celiac question.

Celiac is always possible. Sometimes this " failure to thrive " is only

obvious to doctors when you have severe, end stage damage from the

disease...sometimes there is no obvious digestive symptoms and you

are very damaged and don't know it. (my husband was diagnosed 3 years

ago with celiac.....he had no classical symptoms ..he was tested

because of the kids...he has neurolgical and bone damaged..)

You as a mom know if your child is not thriving...

Both my children did not fit their " failure to thrive " category.

They told me my children looked healthy too! I was told that even if

their Dad had celiac they didn't.

And they have had severe digestive symptoms..and many more symptoms

that something was seriously wrong.

>Gluten was causing severe OCD and ADHD with my son...His father had

ADHD as a child.

I am sure there is info. on the net showing how seizures can

sometimes be related to gluten.

Good luck,

Jack might be celiacs (to save a long blown out explanation its

connected to his siezure disorder) but the doctors have continually

said he can't have it because he looks too healthy. Anyway, I just

wondered whether there were any exceptions to the rule out there to

know whether there is even a slight chance this could be Jack's

problem. The doctor's are 'discussing' it at the moment - but if

there's any ammo to be had I'd love to have it!

HOwever, I wanted to check something he said and I've misplaced my

copy of BTVC. Are lentils and split peas allowed? I thought they

weren't but he said they were - can any one enlighten me?

Anita,

CONGRATS on the trophies!! Feel like having them bronzed, don't you?

That's wonderful news..... and yes, I think it certainly DOES mean you're on the

right track.

Yes, as Meleah said, the lentils and split peas are legal.... but not for

beginners. When you try them, I'd say try red/pink lentils first.... those are

the same as the regular, common greenish-brown lentils, but they are de-hulled

so there is less indigestible stuff to deal with. They cook quicker and are

easier to digest.

Hi All

To my absolute amazement and joy Jack has done his first solid poo - and did a

repeat performance too! This is the frst time this has happened in his life and

it was quite a momentous occasion I can tell you! Fingers crossed, this is

hopefully a sign that we are heading in the right direction!

I just wanted to ask a quick question of you celiac moms out there: do any of

you have a child that failed to fulfill the 'failure to thrive' category of the

illness. There is a question as to whether Jack might be celiacs (to save a long

blown out explanation its connected to his siezure disorder) but the doctors

have continually said he can't have it because he looks too healthy. Anyway, I

just wondered whether there were any exceptions to the rule out there to know

whether there is even a slight chance this could be Jack's problem. The doctor's

are 'discussing' it at the moment - but if there's any ammo to be had I'd love

to have it!

Also, I went to see a nutritionist who, though not a fan of scd, accepted my

decision to keep Jack on it since we're seeing results. HOwever, I wanted to

check something he said and I've misplaced my copy of BTVC. Are lentils and

split peas allowed? I thought they weren't but he said they were - can any one

enlighten me?

Thanks as ever for taking the time to read!
