Re: The best diet to kill gut bugs?

[Guest guest]

,

My twin three year olds have been on SCD for 1 1/2 years. You do not cut out

carbs. You use specific types of carbs and cut out specific types of carbs

(Polysacharrides). The SCD has many cook books and a book to explain how to get

started- Breaking the Vicious Cycle. My husband and I have been on the diet on

and off with them and the recipes are easy (at least for me) and the food is

absolutely delicious!

I know my boys have issues beyond what diet can treat. So, we are also doing

supplementation and hope to start chelation soon with ALA, but this diet got

them started on the road to so much better health.

, it does get confusing with so many diets out there. We have

found good success with Body Ecology Diet. We have multiple allergies

here so we tailor it to work around our allergies. No one diet is

perfect for anyone, you kind of have to look around and see what you

think will work for your child, your stress level and give you the

results you want. Even on this list, I'm sure you will receive

several different answers to this question.

I did well on a form of the GFCF diet for 6 years (The one I was on

was Ashton Embry's best bet diet for MS - it is very similar to a

hunter, gatherer or paleo diet). When I was having serious gut

problems last spring the beginner SCD diet fixed me up immediately.

It continues to work well for me, except when I cheat by eating

Christmas sweets.

What diet works for an individual is an individual thing. See Andy's

file in the files section here " Diet- how to pick the right one for

your kid. " The principles are the same for adults. If you are

concerned about yeast see the " Neutrophils " file in the files section.

All

thanks for the replies. , i was actually and still pretty much do the

paleo diet.. at least almost.. i was doing it for over a year and still had the

leaky gut.. so was wondering if i should take it a step further and do the SCD

diet, eliminating complex carbs.. not sure if that would help either.

Not too sure if it would though. i might give it a shot for a bit though.

It depends on which " gut bugs " you want to control. If yeast, since

you mention SCD, I reduced carbs, starches, and sugars, and added

biotin and other yeast control. That worked well for my son. We also

did paleo for a year, for reasons other than yeast.

so is the SCD or those like it not good for parasites and other organisms?

I have never read anything that it helps with that, only yeast.

Black walnut is good for parasites.

So what diet is good for parasites? or is it just herbs? i mean the parasites

have to live off of something right? the sugar you eat, etc.?

I agree with Dana. SCD doens't feed yeast, black walnut does in critters.

I have no idea. I just know that black walnut works to kill them.
