SCD and ammonia

[Guest guest]

Hello

We did SCD for several months laat year and I am sure it really helped

Tom's gut. Proper stools for the first time in years and rosy face

with no dark circles. HOwever, he lost weight and he's tiny already,

he's been about 42lbs for the past year and in that time he's grown

upwards by 2 inches. In consultatoin with his school we stopped it and

reverted to GF/Cf. But we know he craves things like rice cakes which

seem to just show immediately on his face as dark eye circles. It's a

very precarious exercise trying to feed him up whilst not overloading

his ammonia. He had a major impaction in the summer - which we think

we've now cleared.

We're really keen to try SCD again but now discover that he has high

ammonia. So we're assuming that SCD would be a real no no. Is there a

way round this? I want that healthy faced boy back but preferably with

more weight on his bones and not exacerbating his aggression which we

think is triggered by ammonia.

Any thoughts?

thanks

really aggressive from time to time.
