Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Kym, This is our second week also. Abby had been really whiney, difficult, not eating that good at all, red cheeks, runny nose, really thirsty..............I am thinking the die-off is starting now. Maybe that is what is going on with your son. Just getting all those sugars and startches out has to have an impact. Hang in there!

Some people see positive things 2 weeks in and others see negative (probably from die off). When we went gfcf, we saw immediately changes and that is what I expected with this diet. That did not happen. For the first 3 weeks we were on SCD, I did not really notice any changes. Sometime around the 3rd week, I noticed a leap in receptive language. We are 5 months into the diet now and it had totally changed my life and Zachary's life. He seems to just be developing the way a child should now. I believe that since he is now able to understand everything pretty much all the time and he is no longer in a fog, he is able to learn and develop the way he should be able to. SCD is about healing the gut. That takes time. Don't get discouraged yet. Zachary 4.5 ASD? SCD 5 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 Hi Kym, Can you give us some more details. Do you have a food diary? What is he eating now? What positive improvements did you see? What has changed? Let see if we can help figure it out. Sheila > We started the intro diet 2 weeks ago. It went really well. I saw very > possitive things in my son during the lst week.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Kathy and my SCD friends, Thanks for your words of encouragement. has been sick for about a week. Today, I kind of figured out that it is allergy related. Sigh! It all started last Tuesday when we had a walk on the trail because the weather suddenly got really nice. He started to sneeze the next day. It has been very rainy and windy here for a few weeks already. He got better and than we went out for biking on the trail on Saturday and he started to feel very tried after the trip after the fun. He has mouth breathing. He keeps pricking his nose, and his nose is kind of inflamed inside. We are using only a homeopathic nose drop to help him. He doesn't complain though. He is back to his old self and sometimes even worse. I don't know why the good thing we saw didn't stay with us. Kind of disappointed. But thanks again for you kind encouragement.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Hi Kym, At least you know more about what is going on. I think the die-off can be pretty significant in some kids and not much in others. Abby has been really hyper this week, not sleeping good like she usually does (she is waking up several times in the night), and more constipated. I thinking so much fruit/honey is making her hyperactive as well as the nut flour. I shouldn't of used it so soon so am taking that out. It's hard to cut down on fruit because she won't eat the veggies. Just take it a day at the time...............I may make a chart like Elaine says of reactions/behaviors when I add in a new food. Good luck and stick with it. Kathy mom of Abby-9, ASD, UC and Hannah-13 p.s does anyone know if it is common for kids to become more perseverative and obsessive about things during this initial phase?
