Kym,

Have you tried pecan, hazelnuts, or brazilnut butters as an alternative to the

almond?

I don't know what to do

Dear friends,

I don't know what to do. First of all, my son in only on SCD for 4 weeks.

Because the carbs are totally cut out. We are using lots of meat plus

veggies. He only do well the first 9 days. Then he was having trouble with

allergy symptoms for 2 weeks. After the allergy was over, we didn't see much

progress in his language. He weight gain was slow although okay. We believe

that it's the protein and the fat comes with the meat that maintain this

little bit of weight gain.

Your suggestions are appreciated.

Kym

Kym,

As Sue said, SCD was never meant to be a diet that consists of

mostly protein. It should be a well-balanced diet with fruits and

veggies as well.

Have you started any probiotics?

What about a vitamin?

How about trying enzymes to help with the breakdown of the

veggies and fruit? That may be what is needed to allow more

fruits and veggies in the diet.

" I am kind of uneasy with that because of the pea and fermented

carrot they put in there.

I am not sure if it's good to have him take carrot and pea everyday

in the probiotic. "

I don't think they PUT the pea and carrot IN the probiotic. What they

do is CULTURE the probiotic ON pea and carrot. They need to grow on

something. They culture it on vegetables, because many people cannot

tolerate e.g. lactose.

If you want to be sure, call them.

In any case, when you give probiotics, make sure you build up very

very gradually. Grain by grain, 1/2 teaspoon by 1/2 teaspoon....
