Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 I think my 3 year old may be having a bad reaction to the yogurt?? I've been really confused with him, which is funny, because we're doing this diet for our 5 year old ASD son. has not had digestive or neurological problems, but we have him (and too) pretty much on SCD, though not completely 100% like Luke (give regular milk to drink sometimes, allow some sugar free but illegal jelly, just little things like that). He loves the yogurt but I'm thinking he's reacting bad to it. Does that happen? He's always had dairy, his whole life, it's not that. I know it's not part of the intro diet but I wanted to start having some myself and I give him milkshakes with it, etc, and like I said, he's not REALLY on the diet for any problems. I guess I'm wondering why someone WOULD react badly? I can't pinpoint the problem - he just seems off and has redness around his lips, but that's not all... I can't really explain what it is. Plus I'm exhausted so forgive me for not being clear. Guess the short question is, is it normal to have difficulty with the yogurt and why would that be? What would that look like? Thanks, in NC Mom to Luke (5,Aspergers,digestive problems), (3,healthy), (19mos, healthy) SCD 2 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 , It is possible and does happen for kids to react to the heavy dose of probiotics in the yogurt - they are displacing something in the gut. Does he have any stool problems (now new with yogurt, or in the past?) Does he have a headache, body aches, low fever, lethargy? Those can be die off symptoms. Someone else may have more specific ideas. To me, its mostly a guessing game, but my (long distance and unscientific) guess in this case is that it might be some die-off or adjustment to the good bacteria in the yogurt now flooding his gut. This should go away in a few days or week. Or you can try cutting the amount of yogurt back that he gets (or all out) for a week or so, and see if that helps. -- Sue, mom to Adam and -- In pecanbread , " " <ecmmbm@c...> wrote: > I think my 3 year old may be having a bad reaction to the yogurt?? > I've been really confused with him, which is funny, because we're > doing this diet for our 5 year old ASD son. has not had > digestive or neurological problems, but we have him (and too) > pretty much on SCD, though not completely 100% like Luke (give > regular milk to drink sometimes, allow some sugar free but illegal > jelly, just little things like that).

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Hi Micheele, What do you mean by a bad reaction? When not doing 100% SCD it is hard to tell what is causing the problem. My kids were almost 100% for a long time but not until I had them both 100% SCD did it make a difference. And that is 100% SCD as per BTVC. Once I did that the difference was amazing.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Considering the fact that he has no problem with other diary and is not on the diet, I would think his reaction could be die-off. The homemade yogurt is causing a battle between the good and the bad. This is bound to have some effects on your son. Just because he may not seem to have a yeast problem may not mean it does not exist. My whole family went on the diet in support of my autistic and celiac son. The other 4 of us have been experiencing different symptoms of die-off which really surprised us. We had no idea. > I think my 3 year old may be having a bad reaction to the yogurt?? > I've been really confused with him, which is funny, because we're > doing this diet for our 5 year old ASD son. has not had > digestive or neurological problems, but we have him (and too) > pretty much on SCD, though not completely 100% like Luke (give > regular milk to drink sometimes, allow some sugar free but illegal > jelly, just little things like that).
