Wanting to start SCD ASAP Please Help!

June 1, 2010

Hi All,

I'm hoping to get some good advice for you all. i'm despirate and would even pay

somebody to help me get started on the SCD Diet. Our son is almost 4, end of

June, ASD and has pretty severe constipation issues, a very limited diet and

craves carbs all day long! He has quite a few food sensitivities shown on his

latest IgG test and I just don't know where to start. He's often in pain,

bloated, gas and his cravings cause so much anxiety. He's been GFCF for quite a

while, but with a few accidents. I don't feel the GFCF Diet has done enough.

it's not healing his gut and we know he has severe gut issues. Because of his

self-restricted food options, I'm lost with where to start. it looks like some

of the items used most on the SCD are things he may not be able to have. his IgG

shows on a scale of 1-3, 3 being very sensitive,

3's are Coconut, Gluten, Oates, Rice, Rye, Wheat, Sesame, Pea-Green, 2's are

Peanut, Soybean, Black Walnut, Corn, malt, barley, tomatoe, asparagus 1's are

Almond, Cashew, safflower, avacado, cantaloupe, carrot, celery, eggplant,

grapefruit, lemon, lettuce, orange, black pepper and watermelon. I'm so tired of

seeing our little guy in pain and pray that this diet will help.

He self restricts the following foods Bell & GFCF Chicken Nuggets, Stage 2

baby foods-fruits and some veggies only, baby rice cereal, Ruffles potatoe

chips, smorable grahm crackers- OD's on them! Montana Choc chip cookies, Glutino

cereal bars, tempt-hemp milk ice cream, fresh fruits such as apples, pears and

sometimes grapes and WATER ONLY! Will not take any other beverage of any kind!

This is his diet and he is always hungry and in pain;(

1) Can we still do this diet?

2) How do I substitute for the items he eats to get started?

3) Should I continue CF even though he shows no sensitivities on his IgG to

dairy products?

4) What probiotic is best given on SCD?

5) Which yogurt maker should I buy?

6) Is grapeseed extract ok given on the SCD?

7) What is best for yeast on the SCD?

8) Other supplements ok to give on SCD?

Sorry for all my questions, but i am so despirate to help our little guy, and i

know it's going to be a fight, but i have to do it to help him feel better.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
