Re: Need to start diet from scratch....need advice

[Guest guest]

Jen,

Do you mean regular birthday cake? With sugar and flour? Or was this a legal

SCD recipe cake?

After two days of intro, you can begin to bring in the first stage veggies and

fruits.... start ONE new food at a time, and leave several days in between

starting another, so you can judge how well they are being tolerated. For really

super sensitive kids, it may be best to introduce just a few bites of a new

food, and leaving 24 hours at LEAST to observe symptoms.

If he got regular sugar and flour, the " bad guys " in his gut will no doubt be

all the hardier now after getting that delicious treat. Don't forget to

experiment with the SCD legal recipes for cakes and cookies, so you'll be ready

with something that's at least legal.

I know it's hard to be patient.... but try to stick with plain and simple

foods.... and introduce new things very cautiously. Think to several months down

the road for some of the more complex foods.

Need to start diet from scratch....need advice

I am starting the diet from scratch in the next 2 days. I would like

some advice on how to know when to introduce the next foods.

My son started this diet the 2nd week of January and did very well on

it. I then let him have some birthday cake, shrimp and cookies in

Feb. b/c he was doing so well and I have regretted it since.

I now think I need to go back to the beginning b/c his behaviors are

so bad and he is head butting everything. He is putting holes into

the walls and doors.

i think it is a sign of an infraction. I will start over and be very

very strict this time as I can not afford to screw it up....he has

paid the price. If I do not get him feeling better, I may never

forgive myself for giving him those foods. It was the worse thing

ever.

So any advice and words of support would be great. I am anxious to do

this!!!

Thanks,
