Re: I don't know what to do

Kym,

Why have you cut out so many carbs? Did he have a reaction to

fruit? How about some nice ripe bananas, or pear sauce?

SCD was never meant to be done without fruit and vegetables. You

need to make sure your son is getting enough carbs.

Is there a reason you are not using fruit?

He has been having pear juice and white grape gelatin desert, cooked pear

everyday for snack or desert. We tried ripe banana one day during the intro

diet time and he went very quiet for a day, so we stopped banana. I try to

avoid apple sauce and grape because I was told they feed yeast. I avoid

pineapple because his IgG show some sensitivity to pineapple and he doesn't

like pineapple.

We had been in the very early stage of the diet. Since his bowel movement

has always been great, I have baked pecan/hazelnut..cookies for him. I give

it to him may be once every couple days with enzymes because I afraid he

will develop high IgG if he has these nuts everyday. I think he will

develop high sensitivities to nut easily base on his history.

Re: I don't know what to do

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

We have been using enzymes even before starting SCD. For now, he is on the

Houston's enzymes. He has been on different types of probiotice. This

week, we switched to the Nature's Life Milk Free Acidophilus. 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 am just scared because he may develop food sensitivity to

these if he takes it everyday in an empty stomach.

I think nuts are not only high on fat but also high in protein too. These

may stress the kidney when combining with the meat (now decreased by half)

intake he has. We do have him take veggie, even more now then the last few

weeks.

He does have a very complete vitamins, essential fatty acids, and minerals

program in place.

Re: I don't know what to do

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.

Hi Kym,

Could the going " quiet for a day " have been part of the die-off that usually

goes with the intro diet. My usual high energy four year old was very

subdued/quiet for a day or two on the intro diet. Some people even bake/pan fry

(in oil or butter) the ripe bananas to make them even easier to digest.

Other foods to try ripe avacado, squash, well cooked green beans (french cut

or regular), cooked carrots.

How have his bowels been , any improvements changes etc.?
