Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 My 7 yr old daughterhad severe eczema for 2 yrs. head to toe, dressings all over in the middle of every night. That stopped, then came asthma for a couple of years, then hyperactivity (aged 5. We started doing EPD 2 and a half years ago. It hasn't worked but we realised the diet connection and cut out all the obvious. She definitely can't eat nuts, eggs, dairy and a whole range of things as well as all the usual stuff. She has been stuck eating yam, eddoes, tapioca, little buckwheat, lamb, various game meat, celery carrots, cabbage, and that is all, for about the last 2 years. Candida has been a severe problem (child 'clucks' at night-hasn't had a good night's sleep in her life, despite our best efforts). Heard lecture on DAN! website re SCD diet, especially fascinated by brilliant speaker's reference to bad gut flora feeding on undigested carb. My daughter's gut is badly permeable (has been tested)Fair to say we are struggling to survive. Also have 2 yr old son who has started to show signs of eczema, spreading slowly on skin. Damn. They are beautiful kids, look healthy, conventional doctors have no idea. We see a DAN! doctor in Britain. Good but we know my daughter is extreme. We have started doing the SCD diet as she was getting worse and worse and we were going nowhere fast. It didn't feel right where we were. 2 days in she is very pasted but calmer than ever I have seen her. We need advice on what foods to give her as she is a v allergic special case. Can we give her some stage 2 foods in beginning? I don't know how to do it otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
