Diet

[Guest guest]

Hi, I was wondering if the diet that is recommended by Stan is a lifelong diet, or are you able to introduce other foods later when recovered. Also, I would love to try this diet, and probably will my concern is hunger. It seems like you would be hungry all the time. I would like to put my children on the diet as well, but my husband is not supportive at all. We did the CFGF diet for 2 years and it only helped our son a little. Will progress be slower for our children with gut and mercury issues with out changing the diet? Any advice is welcome. Thanks for you help. Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,

I think everyone has that question on their mind. I hear it in every diet group

I spend time

in. " Is this a lifelong diet? "

The absolute answer is simple. We don't know.... and in my opinion... it

shouldn't matter.

We just need to do what we need to do to assist our children in recovering. No

diet claims

it will always heal the gut.

Healing the gut comes from healing the whole child and the diet is one piece of

the

puzzle... and important piece, but one piece. If the other issues in your child

are not

resolved there may not be a diet on the planet that will do the complete job.

This is a

mutifactorial condition.

Many of us start with the diet and work our way around until we see our child

come back...

or improve.

and listen, my diet won't work on all people... but it works on many and the

nice thing

about it is that it's the most benign therapy you can do and you should see

results in just a

couple weeks... sometimes days.

The diet was designed to be a quick low risk foods that heals. Once you learn

more from

an IGG Test and your child stablizes, to move to the SCD or another diet of your

choice

may be fine. At least you'll have a baseline functioning level to compare it to

as you

introduce other foods. I think having that baseline is important and that's why

I put the

Caveman Diet together.

Some people stay on the diet, but others move to SCD or LOD... etc. I have no

ego over

it... I want people to be on the best diet for them... my diet was designed to

help quickly

get their child's gut under control, establish a higher functioning baseline and

allow the

family to do what they want from there. Typically by the time an IGG Food

allergy test by

blood comes back, the child is functioning better on the diet and then you can

make a

decision of what to do next... and typically I support the SCD (less the IGG

foods by blood).

Worst case, you see the child have a bit of a decline when you add a certain

food or food

set and then you know there may be something going on... you have a frame of

reference.

That's just some of my thoughts about the diet. Hope that helps.
