New to SCD

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

I have a 3 yr old and have just in the past week discovered this

wonderful diet. I started back in the beginning of December learning

about diet and spectrum disorders. I started with less sugar, no

gluten, no dairy and no processed foods. Then I discovered food

sensitivities and had an ALCAT blood test done. 19 food

sensitivities...so then I cut out all of those which included sugar,

yeast, Gluten and a whole bunch more. The yeast and gluten

sensitivities lead me to leaky gut and then I found Breaking the

Vicious Cyle and now I have found yall. It has been a long journey

to get here but I know I have finally found the answer for my son. I

am seeing positive changes in his stools already... although not

being accustomed to anything but mustardy, sticky stools....he could

be constipated for all I know. They are better formed but somedays

he will have a BM 4 to 7 times. Other days, hardly one and it is

small and somewhat hard. It is not consistent but at least some poops

are good. Before there were never healthy ones. My poor son isn't

potty trained because I think it is painful for him. He knows his

bowels are different and already is embarrased about them.

My family and friends are so tired of hearing about my son's Poop!

I am hoping that some of the members here understand why it is

important to my son's healing.

Anyway, I was following the SCD diet in the BTVC but just dove in

because I was so excited about the recipes etc that I did not begin

the intro to the diet correctly. I have started the suggested intro

today because I found Pecanbread.com.

What happens if my son accidently gets into an illegal food or if I

feed him something that is legal but he is not ready for. Will

he " relapse " in terms of behavior and poop in a few hours after

ingesting the illegal? I can tell when he has eaten

something...today he had a banana that was not ripe enough and some

pistachio nuts. He was bumping into walls and falling down and

rolling around on the ground and seemed to not beable to walk...but

laughing at the same time. He would be fine and then run up to me

and hit me...Yelling " Stop It! " and " Go Away " . He started crying

saying his tummy hurt and I held a pillow on his tummy.

Sorry to babble....I guess my question is was all this behavior I

described from the banana and pistachios? If so, does the behavior

stop once those items have gone through his system? Also, what about

dairy? He seemed to react to butter when I was cooking using butter

the past 5 days. I made some homemade yogurt according to BTVC...not

knowing I was not supposed to feed him dairy. Should I not feed him

any dairy ever or can some Spectrum kids tolerate the dairy without

Lactose?

Thanks so much...I am glad I found this group.
