, I too, am just starting out and I have " listened " to your

questions closely because I feel I'm in the same general situation as

you. I took out ALL suppliments the week I started SCD only because

for our last lab tests he was supposed to be free of all that. I

have seen improvement just since Easter. I think I am going to take

's (?) advice and only use the multi vitamin for a while,

then slowly add others to see how necessary they really are. I have

the same thought - if their little guts are healing, wouldn't they be

accessing the nutrition through their foods? I mean, these kids

aren't getting their caloric and nutritive sources from Cap't Crunch

after all!

There is a list of suppliments on BTVC website. I think SuperNuThera

is included. I hope so.

I also have to look into the phenol thing. Grrrr.

Super Nu Thera Hypoallerginic capsules is SCD permissable. Not all

Super Nu Thera's are permissable, so check the specific one you have

in stock already.We did purchase the hypoallergenic for our son, so I

guess we are ok there. Note, there is not enough calcium in the

hypoallergic line, so you may need to add some Calcium/Vitamin D too.

(if you are casein free as well)

NO, not everyone is doing that - that was just my personal story with Luke and

my personal theory on all the supplements. Others will have various advice on

that, I'm sure.

Who is your DAN doctor and do they attend the Conferences? He or she should

know of SCD and Elaine if they attend. Abby gets really hyper on a multiple

so am doing calcium, vit.c, magnesium citrate ( to help stools) magnesium

sulfate (like Epsom salt baths) , natures life acidophilus, as well as her

required meds for ulcerative colitis. I also give her Miralax twice a week

or she will become impacted. SCD has helped us get that down from everyday

to twice a week and hopefully eliminated totally. I would do what you think

is best, just make sure they are all legal. Also I would make sure the

doctor is aware of SCD and your concerns.
