Welcome to Pecanbread

Many of our members have transitioned from the GFCF diet and come with concerns

about

dairy. Dairy is not mandatory on SCD. If you read our links about yogurt you

will

understand why we praise it so highly. As damaged guts begin to heal, the yogurt

has

been found to be well tolerated by children whose parents were originally very

fearful of it.

If you decline to use yogurt which has a beneficial probiotic effect we have

salternatives

like homemade nut milk and fermented vegetables but nothing supplies billions of

friendly

bacteria like SCD yogurt. Some of the casein gets denatured in the fermentation

process. It

may be something you can choose to try in a tiny amount at a later date.

We can get compounded pain killers without illegal ingredients. I use

acetominiphen but I

believe ibuprofen is better for children. Soemone else will comment on

this.Yeast can be

dealt with my minimizing the use of honey and fruit and taking supplements to

counter it.

,

Please go to www.pecanbread.com and read through all the sections thoroughly.

Have you read the book, Breaking the Vicious Cycle?

SCD is gluten free by default.... because it is completely grain free, so there

is no worry there. Many families here begin SCD without using any dairy. There

are tips and recipes on the website that can help you.

Did you begin SCD with the " intro diet " ? How long have they been on the diet?

Is the twins' doctor the one who suggested you start SCD?

You say you are using lots of nuts? In what form? Nut butters? Nut flours?

Beginners should not use whole nuts.

You'll want to be sure your yeast treatment prescription has no illegal starches

in it.

The children's Tylenol or Motrin liquids have illegal sugars and starches. I

personally just grind up a regular adult Tylenol tablet (one regular strength

tablet is the correct dosage for MY daughter... age 10, 69 lbs)... and mix it

with applesauce. I try to only give a pain reliever or fever reducer when

absolutely necessary.

You can also have those medications made up by a compounding pharmacy, if need

be.

Tylenol is hard on the liver, they say... and not so great for children with

autism. Ibuprofen (Motrin) is terrible for the gut. So, only use either of them

when you MUST.

You can do the diet either with dairy or without. The choice is yours

(intro with dairy)

Some tips for transitioning to the SCD:

......how about tylenol and motrin?

Ibuprofen is better for ASD kids. Some get it compounded others use

the regular stuff. Whichever you are able to do. If you use the

adult ibuprofen ask the pharmacist first if you can use a portion of a

dose for your children (eg. half a tablet ground up).

I was apprehensive about adding dairy coming from gf/cf, but we did

eventually add the goat's yogurt and cheese crackers using goat cheese.

Both have been well tolerated. The symptoms of spaciness that my son had

on cow's milk have not returned, nor have the loose stools.
