Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Carol, Thank you for the info. on Stevia. My son is now 4. He has severe Peanut/Nut allergies and food intolerance to Dairy/Soy/Wheat/Egg also. He has been diagnosed with Acid Reflux, asthma, and environmental allergies. He was on multiple antibiotics for many infections since age 1. He's had two endoscopies and checked for Celiac and many other conditions. We keep coming up with reflux and food intolerances. He presents with diarrehea, or constipation often, and much stomach pain and reflux coming up with burping burning his throat. I bought the book Breaking the Viscious Cycle, and have read it. I'm trying the diet for him starting today. He missed his Rice Milk, and I'm afraid to give him almond milk with his nut allergies. Not sure if I can stick with this, but I think it is our best bet right now. His Ped.GI has washed his hands of it and keeps saying someday he'll outgrow all the allergies and diarrehea. I am using one of the reccomended probiotics from Kirkman Labs. Does anyone know how much to give a 4yr old 36lb. child? Thank you Debbie Mom of (4yrs old)-Day 1 on SCD has Reflux/Asthma/Food Allergies carolfrilegh wrote: > > Hello, > I am new to this group...trying the diet on my 4yr old. > Does anyone know if Stevia is allowed? > Thank you, > Debbie > Welcome Debbie, Please tell us more about yourself. Here are links to various comments on stevia from Elaine Gorttschall's web site. Bottom line a little is allowed in a helpful supplement but it is not suitable for general use: http://ccgi.cobbler.plus.com/search.php?q=stevia Carol F.

When healing kicks in often some of the food intolerances diminish or disappear as was my fortunate experience. (They may flare again during an illness or temporary regression.) Do the best you can by using the intro diet for a few days only and slowly introducing the SCD foods that are tolerated. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi Debbie, << He missed his Rice Milk, and I'm afraid to give him almond milk with his nut allergies. >> How about about homemamde coconut milk recipe at http://pecanbread.com/recipes.html under " Nut milks " -or- Banana smoothies. Ripe banana pureed with a small amount of water until smooth. Then add enough water so it is drinkable. You can add legal vanilla extract if you like. << I am using one of the reccomended probiotics from Kirkman Labs. > Does anyone know how much to give a 4yr old 36lb. child?>> Probiotics: With the L. acidophilus and the S. boulardii you should start with 3 billion CFU's/day (with Kirkman's this is one capsule) or *less*. This can be split into half doses over the day in the morning and at night. Sheila, SCD Feb., 2001, Uc 22yrs mom of e and D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
