what are we doing wrong??

[Guest guest]

We have been SCD for 5 weeks now. The boys all alternate between diarrhea and

constipation - still. In two of them, including my ASD son, there has never

been a single sign of any kind of die-off. None. Period. The other son seemed

to go through some die-off in the beginning; he was really pale and just did not

feel up to his normal self. That one is now constantly hungry, which I

understand *can* indicate that he is healing. However, he still alternates

between D and C too and never has a " normal " stool either.

But why are we not seeing die-off YET? And why, after 5 weeks, is there still

the flip-flop between D and C? And why is there no improvement of any kind in

anyone? We have stopped almost all supplements (see next sentence), and are

*only* eating legal foods, nothing beyond stage 2 (see below). The only

" supplements " are Kirkman legal acidophilus, Carlson's Cod Liver Oil, and

Swanson's Evening Primrose Oil. The one son that appears to be healing is also

taking S.Boulardi (Kirkman legal) since he has C.Difficile. Patty was kind

enough to double-check these for me and feels they are fine (Patti, I pulled all

other supplements as you suggested, to try to get something to happen here...)

We are making using 24-hour goat-milk yogurt, with the legal yogourmet starter.

What do we do???? I know this should work for us; how could it not?? The only

alternative is going back to the SAD, and that just doesn't make sense when

comparing it to SCD for results. So WHY are we not getting results??

I would LOVE feedback from any who can help.

Here is what we are eating, if you need it in detail. Everything is " cooked,

peeled, seeded " as appropriate:

Roast beef (crockpot) unseasoned

Roast chicken (crockpot) unseasoned

Grilled steak, grilled chicken, occasionally grilled hamburgers

Green beans

Spinach

Cucumbers

Very ripe bananas

Homemade applesauce

Occasionally cooked/peeled peaches

Butternut squash

24-hour homemade goat yogurt

Eggs (except for my ASD son; he is IGG allergic)

Occasionally homemade Ketchup (except for my ASD son; he is IGG allergic to

tomatoes) using homegrown tomatoes, basil leaf, white vinegar, honey

Honey (some)

Legal mustard

Almond butter

Almond butter muffins and cookies (some)

Some olive oil; not much

Salt and pepper

Apple cidar vinegar (on the spinach)

Twice we have made the BTVC cheesecake - twice in 5 weeks

Suggestions PLEASE...
