Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 At 12:05 AM 4/27/2008, you wrote: does anyone know of results for ADHD? I thought the diet could only help, but I want to get more information for her. Thanks in advance! ADD & ADHD run in my family. (I have a nephew who was on Ritalin for years.) As my gut issues became worse over the years, so did my emotional state. I often became unhinged about things. I understand entirely what the moms on www.pecanbread.com are talking about when they say " my kid went into meltdown after eating something illegal. " Christmas dinner is a bit of a trial. I usually have one major meltdown in the middle of preparing. The December after I went SCD, my mom was concerned over the idea of serving this weird SCD food to family and friends so I made parallel meals--the normal one and one for SCD. I made up recipes as I went along. I made up recipes for cranberry sauce and turkey dressing. I made up a recipe for pumpkin casserole, another for a pumpkin cake. After dinner, when everyone had left, Harry and I were sitting together. The dinner went off beautifully*. No meltdowns or anything. I never noticed. But Harry noticed and commented and then said, " I like SCD. It's nice to have the woman I married back. " That was the determining point: come hell or high water I would continue with the diet. (*What was interesting was that all the SCD food was eaten. The ordinary food was left.) — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Surgery for Endometrial Cancer, 7 April 2008 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Yes! ADHD symptoms can certainly improve with SCD...I have a background in Special Ed, and while getting my Master's Degree in Education I developed a parent education seminar for parents of children with ADD and ADHD. My main focus was treating without medicating, using diet and cognitive/behavioral strategies to lessen symptoms. Many parents see improvements from "cleaning up" a SAD (standard American diet), but since I found SCD, I have heard of kids with attention disorders improve greatly with SCD. If your friend can get her kid to co-operate and give SCD a try, I am sure she will see improvements! SCD restarted, 2/08 CD 25+yrs, ileostomy 3 yrs. homeopathy and supplements, no meds.
