Guest guest Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Hi there , Thanks for your words of support and encouragement, very important at times like this. Replying to all these kind thoughts has focused my mind on things other than my immediate problems and given me more pleasant thoughts.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Well, here in Margate, we don't have computers in the childrens ward yet. All the children do have individual tv's which pull out from their bed. The trouble is they entertain the kids but not the parents. On my recent stays in hospital I have found it very lonely. Whilst my daughter has watched non-stop Scooby Doo for 8 hours whilst lying on her comfortable bed, I have been stuck sitting for 3 days on a hard chair playing with the kids toys on my own through complete boredom as it's been impossible to get any converstation from her! Perhaps there should be one tv for the kids and one for the parents! If I am ever unfortunate enough to go onto dialysis, I hope I don't become addicted to Scooby Doo. I'll know I really am seriously ill if that is the case. As my son says, its always the man in the mask who did it, so why do you need to watch more than one! As usuall I have completely digressed from the IGAN topic. Frances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 Hello . Our son ( now 13 years old ) didn't have any major digestion problems either, but at age nine or ten was starting to have violent outbursts against others and himself. After a very short time on SCD he became much more at ease with himself and more loving. Best thing we ever did. Best Wishes. Miles. New to Diet My son is 22 months and has been diagnosed ASD at about 18 months (we suspected it earlier). He has multiple speech and developmental delays and often has viloent, uncontrollable tantrums. He is engaged most of the time and eye contact is quite good, but we never really know what will set him off. His diet is terribble and limited, consisting of GF Pancakes and Waffles, Chicken Nuggets, Pear Sauce, and PBJ. We are starting him on the SCD diet. My wife and I to say least are overwhelmed. A couple questions come to mind. Is is common for a child to not have any noticeable digestive problems (i.e. diarhea ect..) and still need this diet? Secondly, after being on the diet for a period of time, do the children become more open to different varieties of food? Finally he still breast feeds and we are unsure when it is would be beneficial to ween him since it is his main source of comfort during his melt downs. Our son is so limited on what he will eat, I guess I'm just looking for some encouraging responses. Any info would be appreciated.
