A quick question from down-under

[Guest guest]

Hi all - I have three children, two of whom I'm considering putting on the

SCD. I've been trying recipes for the last couple of weeks, hoping to just

phase out the GFCF and move into SCD. I guess what I need to know is, would

it be more beneficial to do the intro diet, or is it possible to just switch

foods? Both children have had intestinal problems in the past, but no

obvious symptoms now. My main wish is to help them both with language and

sensory issues (one has major hurdles, the other has minor ones, and both

are doing pretty well - in fact I hesitate to even risk rocking the boat by

throwing the whole diet thing into review again....)

It seems by the reading I've done here that the dairy yoghurt option is just

personal choice - do the users of yoghurt go on to include the cheeses at

all? I'm sure I'll pick up more answers just by reading along - thanks to

those down the track (on the diet) for sharing what you have learned.

Cheers for now - Kate in Australia

Hi and welcome. Just my two cents, we did not do the full intro

diet, and my son is doing very well on the diet now, over 3 weeks

into it. He didn't have severe gastro issues when we started either,

just minor, not severe diarrhea or anything. I think just starting

with soft things is beneficial though, like the chicken cupcakes,

pearsauce, applesauce, etc. Chances are, they will make a smooth

transition. Smoother than you think, anyway. We do the diet dairy

free as well and have started the probiotics. He is doing very good,

just almost like a 360 degree turn in my eyes, and only just begun

the diet basically.

I pray you will give it a try for a few weeks and see the difference

this healthy way of eating can truly make...
