Re: yeast and scd diet and NV

[Guest guest]

Hi There,

Just wanted to say that we are on day 17 of SCD and have seen absolutely AMAZING

results. My child has awful, awful gut bacteria and we are very hopeful about

SCD. We did stop the NV simply because SCD is all or nothing. You are either

feeding the bacteria with sugar/carbs or you are not. I do look forward to the

day, however, that we can reintroduce the NV. We had seen some positives on

that as well. But for us, the changes with SCD have been wonderful- very

obvious that it's working.

I was wondering if there were any true success stories out there- I am looking

for parents of apraxic, autistic kids that did SCD and came out with no visible

symptoms of apraxia afterward. Anyone?

All the Best,

Kim

Yeast can be fed by sugar but also undigested food. I think NV is helpng

digestion. Yeast die off symptoms can look like a flare up. He had this in the

begining but we are muh better now.

Hi Kim,

How old is your child? My 4 year old autistic/apraxic son will start SCD this

weekend... we will do it without NV for a bit and then decide if we should add

it back in as NV has had some positives for him. However, I am curious about

your son/daughter? Did your child have any verbal communication? How what

stage are you on now after 17 days? Does your child take any meds/antifungals

at the moment or is it just the diet? You refer to amazing results - what have

you seen in your child? I am so curious b/c it's hard to connect with people

who are still in the early stages of SCD... did you child accept the diet

readily or was it difficult to get started? I would love to connect with you by

private email to talk more... especially about any good recipes or SCD foods

that your child likes... also about when you might introduce NV again...

Hi -

My son is almost seven, with autism. I am new to the group, but not to diets,

biomedical and various therapies to help my son.

We did the scd diet strictly for 2 years to promote gut healing and reduce yeast

& bacteria. We now do a modified scd by adding in potato and rice flours but not

corn. If you have a child that has high inflammation and poor gut health, I

believe that scd is worth a trial.

I cannot say that scd gave my son specific speech gains ( I have never been one

to do only one intervention at a time)but it has improved his overall health and

readiness for therapies. There are some things to consider with scd, that I

learned along the way that I would be happy to share. Please watch blood ammonia

levels. This is a diet high in protein and for some children that can lead to a

build up of ammonia. I have had positive experience with yucca and

alphketoglutaric acid to help reduce ammonia when I needed to. I could always

tell my son had high ammonia by the smell of his urine or stool...it would smell

like the monkey cage at the zoo..no kidding.

Sacromyces boulardi has helped us with ammonia and restoring gut health as well.

One of my favorite websites to order scd food and nut flours is

www . digestivewellness . com They make a " star " cookie that is terrific and

we jsut tried their honey chews this week for the first time. They are great as

well. Scd involves a lot of baking, so pace yourself. This is not a diet you can

run to the market so easily for. But digestivewellness can help you by

purchasing ready baked safe foods until you get your scd groove going.

We bake a cashew cake at least once a week that is a great source of protein,

holds off hunger and has no flour.

beat 8 eggs

1/2 cup melted coconut oil

1 cup honey

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 and half teaspoon baking soda

16 oz jar of cashew butter

Put in a 13 x 9 greased pan (coconut or palm oil works well) and bake for about

30-35 minutes at 350 until fork comes out clean.

When cake cools, I cut and individually wrap pieces.This way it lasts and I can

warm up a chunk when I need it.

I hope this helps and can get you started. I am sure you found the pecanbread

website as well already. Start small, become familiar with 2 safe breakfasts, 2

lunches and 2 dinners and grow from there. Snacking is a little harder when scd,

but fresh organic pears are a great choice.

I hope this helps some. Good luck.

BTW, my son has just started week 2 on nutriveda. I will introduce & update the

list soon.

With thanks-

Tricia

Thanks so much for the reply and the heads up about the ammonia. My son did

have slightly elevated ammonia levels about a year ago, so I should definitely

keep an eye on that. Can't wait to try the cashew cake recipe!

All the Best,

Kim

Hi Tatyana,

Please send me an email at kahopkins@... and I will tell you everything I

know/answer your questions. I can't figure out how to pull private emails from

the messages.

I can't believe that I forgot to mention activated charcoal. A capsule at least

2 hours away from any supplements helped to bring down our ammonia level quickly

as well.

Some great cookbooks are:

1. Adventures in the Family Kitchen by Raman Prasad

2. Cooking to Heal Little Tummies by Jenna and Hagood

Good luck- Tricia
