Hi -

We are coming to SCD from GFCFSF. Where can I find a copy of this chart of

stages? Sounds like it would be very helpful to help us get started right.

Thanks

-- Re: Carol-regarding stages

Cece,

I am the one who created the chart.

It is based on BTVC, where we are told to peel/deseed/cook all fruits

and vegetables initially.

I had help from others who have used SCD in deciding which fruits and

veggies seemed to be the easiest to digest.

So, all I did was take those and put them together in a chart.

Of course, as with anything, there are exceptions to every rule. Some

kids cannot eat bananas, some kids can eat broccoli sooner. The chart

was just a " general " rule of what seemed more easily digested.

So, to answer your question. There is no timeline on the chart.

That's written right above the chart.

You can move forward and continue to add foods as you see that your

child tolerates each new food.

I mostly made the chart because many of the kids coming to the diet

had been GFCF and parents were just finding the legal/illegal list of

SCD foods and replacing their kids GFCF diet with an SCD legal one,

BUT they were not starting with the intro and they did not add foods

slowly to see what their children tolerated.

I made the charts to remind everyone to start at the beginning and add

foods slowly to see what is tolerated and what is not.

If a particular child tolerates nut butters 3 days into the diet,

that's fine. But some kids may not be able to tolerate any form of

nuts for several weeks. Each child comes into this with a unique gut

environment. What we want is healing.

Welcome .

It's on the pecan Bread Web site. have you studied all the great free

information

there? Check " Beyond Food intro " but start with the intro diet and be sure

to get a copy of Breaking the Vicious Cycle (you may ant the newest edition

coming out in spring) and can get an existing one at a library or read for

free at a big chain bookstore like barnes and Noble.

Jody,

Thanks for your reply. I saw that you used the word " tolerating " quite a

bit in your reply to me. The hard part is in defining the word,

" tolerating. " In Elaine's old book, she says to wait until " after diarrhea

is under control " . We have been doing the SCD since last June 16th and my

son was having more formed stools within the first 3 weeks. In fact, in

the years prior to starting the SCD we had gotten his diarrhea under

control. His bowels could no longer be classified as diarrhea, but I knew

they were not " normal " either.

Even though we did everything by the standards, we hit an unexplained

plateau. This plateau just snuck up on us, so determining what he was or

was not " tolerating " is very hard. I have gone back and started over because

I want to give this a chance to work. With Patti's help, she said that

" maybe " he was eating too many raw fruits and veges. too soon. I know that

this is all a bit of guess work right now, but I was hoping that someone

could share their experiences in hopes to use solely as a guide.

Knowing full well that each child will be different, do you have a ball park

timeframe that you are using on your own child? I just want to her stories

of what others are doing. Not to interpret them word for word with my

child, but because hearing others eperiences sometimes helps. Right now, I

am thinking about one month on stage 1 and then moving to stage 2 and then

seeing if there are any reactions. But this is just something that I have

made up for the sake of having a " plan. " I have no scientific basis for

this rationale. I just want to be more deliberate than we were last summer

so I can allow sufficient time for healing and maybe this time, not have

progress come to a standstill.

In addition, I am going to go back and read Jen Youngs story again to see if

anything she wrote will help me. Maybe in the future, my notes or

experience will help guide someone else.
