Re: meat ...all you veterans, I need help!

Hi Penny,

I've been reading that " meat " thread, but don't know enough about

putrefaction to comment.

However, I can tell you that we had yellow (bright yellow!) stools

for at least 6 weeks after we started SCD. AAANNND -- was

eating exactly what Kenzie is eating -- meat, bananas and juice (and

a bit of pear sauce).

We had terrible temper tantrums for 8 weeks. I wouldn't say they

were aggressive, because doesn't seem to work that way, but

they were loud and terrible.

HI Kathy,

Whenever is making progress, we also see increased

irritability. When she is peaceful and calm, there's not much

happening cognitively.

We did see enough progress in the first 2 months to keep us going,

but as I keep saying, we had 8 weeks of tantrums and yellow poop

along with the good stuff.

Hang in there!

I have seven kids and I have to say that every last one of them would

get really crabby before any type of cognitive or physical

developmental spurt! I don't think it's that un-common even for older

kids. 's developmental therapist was commenting that she

learned about it in school too.

Kathy,

We haven't been on SCD a lot longer than you, but I noticed Sammy's

behaviour suffers after anything sweet - so I think we are dealing

with yeast. We even started juicing a week or so ago - just carrot

and parsley, well watered down, and after 5 days we could tell it

just wasn't working as his behaviour was getting worse and worse.

Before we did the intro his behaviour was very erratic, like you

describe, but after the intro we can now tell that it's the sweeter

things he reacts to (pearsauce, butternut squash, peas, carrot

juice). So we are staying away from fruits and keeping honey very

low until more healing has taken place. We plan on juicing celery

today to see how that goes, but it won't taste as good as the carrot!

Don't know if that's any help - just thought I'd share what we've

been through,
