Re: SCD diet and reflux...........

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My son is 9 yrs. old and we have been on the GFCFSF diet for years. At

one point we did the SCD for 8 months and saw great results. My son now

has acid reflux severly. I'm talking 30-45 mins of severe, severe pain.

He is on some meds presently to help deal with the pain, but I'm

wondering if anyone has pretty much cured acid-reflux by sticking with

the SCD for a while. And if so, how long did it take for symptoms to

subside? I know the food he eats can only contribute to reflux because

he eats only acidic foods. I know he has a good deal of yeast just from

the symptoms he has, and we are awaiting test results to confirm. I'm

wondering if I should get him started with this diet, or wait until we

knock some of the yeast down first. We are having him scoped Feb. 8th,

but I don't want him on a bunch of meds if I can help heal this problem

using diet and other natural alternative methods. Any advice would be

much appreciated. Patti G.

My 6 year old celiac daughter had acid reflux since a baby unitil SCD.

It didn't take long...for this to clear up...All she was eating was

fruits, vegetables, gluten-free grains(no gluten, no dairy, no

eggs..no sugar,nothing in a package...allergic to everything...)before

SCD.

It was just the grains, starches causing her reflux, it didn't realize

this until Scd.

cathy,

Mom to celiacs 6,9

Scd since august 2006

Thanks so much to everyone who responded regarding acid-reflux and

the SCD. It sounds encouraging! Today is our first full day, and all

I could get him to eat is a few squash pancakes, and cinnamon

cookies. He would not eat the chicken soup broth but would eat a

few green beans. I'm concerned that it's to soon to introduce almond

flour, but felt I had no choice. Right now, due to severe reflux, he

is on Mylanta, alka-seltzer and rolaids. So the food probably

doesn't taste the best to the poor kid! His stools are very loose

right now, due to the meds, and normally he is a pretty constipated

kid. Like I said before, he is due to be scoped Feb. 8th which seems

like an eternity from now. I feel horrible giving him so many drugs,

but the alternative of seeing him screaming in severe pain is worse.

He seems to feel so bad right now, and says " Garet sad " alot, which

breaks my heart. If I can aleviate the reflux through this diet, I

will be so happy. Patti
