Re: New to group, need help

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Welcome to our list!

I would wait before introducing new foods. Try removing the carrots

and see if you see any difference. Carrots may be difficult for some

folks.

I have heard that Taliapa fish is very easy to digest.

Try S Boulardii , Elaine approved it and it is just great.

My first thought was that he is ingesting things that he is reacting to.

My son could not tolerate any nightshade (tomato, potato - not SCD

legal anyway, eggplant, etc.) or any lily (onion, garlic, etc.). He

also had issue with kiwi, etc. Nuts were limited also.

We did a total elimination diet before knowing about SCD. (This means

going 'backwards' for a bit to eliminate meat... and then carrots....

and then cabbage.)

When I came upon the SCD book, we were already doing it but I liked

the book because it explained 'why' our own special diet was working

for us.

I have since done a great deal of research/reading about food

sensitivities and eosinophils (my son's were high even after

implementation of SCD). In the five years there have been some real

eye openers. One that comes to mind is a case study about a young

girl who reacted to chicken and did not grow properly. Once the

chicken and a few other things were removed, her growth improved a

great deal.

I now promote a total elimination diet because I have come to realize

that anyone can react to just about anything.

Please do not feel overwhelmed though, my son can now enjoy small

portions of tomato and onions and garlic - though he still will not

eat potato, which is quite fine with me. He even enjoys them, to the

point of making his own salsa (he is 7).

So there is some light at the end of the tunnel... but it's hard to

heal when ingesting things that are reacting with your gut.

Many prayers sent your way for improved health.

Kind regards,
