Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 What makes you think your breastmilk will become toxic once you have started the diet? Is it that you are taking supplements (besides a probiotic ) to help in the healing process. My daughter is 16mo and breastfeeds at least 3x a day/night. I am working with an ND (Naturopathic Doctor) to aid me in my journey. My main worry with breastfeeding + SCD is the loss of my milk. With that, we have tweaked the diet a tad to include 1 fruit a day. Do you have someone monitoring your diet with you? If not, I would highly recommend a ND. Take care and good luck! > > How can I safely start the SCD diet while breastfeeding my 4 month old daughter?

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hello! I didn't catch your name,I understand why you are worried, but those bad bacteria that are causing you colitis symptoms are already putting toxins into your body -- it is their natural by-product. If your situation isn't completely dire, I would ease into starting SCD. By this, I mean doing something like the Moderator, Marilyn, did when she started it. Begin by dropping one illegal a week. Say bread one week, pasta, the next, sugar after that, and so on so that you minimize the die off. Then once you have eliminated all illegals, do the intro diet and add back in foods from there. Another thing you can do is take epsom salt baths to help with the body getting rid of the toxins.
