Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 The protein in soy is similar to the protein in dairy. I removed soy and it definitely helps. I even avoid soy for our entire family. In my opinion soy is bad news for most people. It is generally genetically modified and overproduced and is a staple in almost all processed foods. We follow SCD and that is the one diet that has truly helped my son. With SCD we have also removed all nuts! Hope this helps. Jen Soy-free too? If I've tried the gfcf diet and it didn't work, would it be worth taking out soy too. He tested midly positive with soy and the doc said (at the time) that it wasn't necessary. Do any of you know why soy is like gluten and casein and why it's bad for our kids. Any success stories with soy- removal. Thanks so much!!

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 we had to take out soy and corn as well as gluten and dairy and although we saw good results within the first month or two it took almost a year before our daughter really started to improve dramatically.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Rose, I completely agree with . Our family hasn't had any soy in our house for months and we avoid it like the plague. There are a lot of studies out there pointing to the health risks posed by soy, especially to children. I know that when we took our 8-year-old daughter off all soy products, her mood lightened up quite a bit. She used to be so irritable and unhappy all the time, and now she actually wakes up so much happier. You really should give SCD a try, especially if you didn't get any results doing GFCF alone. Good luck! Mom to Cole, 5 1/2, PDD > > If I've tried the gfcf diet and it didn't work, would it be worth taking out soy too.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 No corn here either, in any form. We are GFCFSFCF, nut, tomato, pineapple, green beans, onion, preservative, dye, msg, etc. free. Rose, I completely agree with .

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I'm joining the biomed game pretty late....my daughter is 9, but better late than never I guess. My daughter was initially dx'd w/PDD-NOS but that was changed to Asperger's last year; she also has cerebral palsy from an intrauterine stroke and has seizures. Soy was the first thing I took out (because of the phytoestrogens.....she was developing breast buds @ 8yr) and I noticed a dramatic decrease in tantrums and aggression within 2 wks. I was then hearing about glutamate/glutamic acid (that and aspartate are bad for seizures) so I experimented with removing peanuts and peanut butter over the 6 day Thanksgiving breaks and *my daughter* noticed improvement and *asked* me to pack something different for school. That was all the incentive I needed to get on the bandwagon with this diet. She has been GFCFSF and low glutamate (with the exception of GFCF chicken strips until I can get more *good* foods into her willingly) since then and I continue to see improvements. What's also striking to me, is the dramatic (thankfully short-lived) regression following an infraction (like the surprise pizza party by the teacher who didn't know about the diet because he'd been out for over a week)!

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 yes if it shows up at all I would ditch it, there are soooooo many ways soy can be an issue, opiate, IGG, IGE, if there is one of those tests you haven't done I would encourage you to do so Soy-free too? If I've tried the gfcf diet and it didn't work, would it be worth taking out soy too. He tested midly positive with soy and the doc said (at the time) that it wasn't necessary.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Hi Rose, Yes I would take soy out also. There are more studies showing that it's not as healthy for us as the markets want us to believe. And from what I have been reading if you have a sensitivity/allergy to milk you most likly have one to soy. That being said my son is on the gf/cf (not allergic to gluten but why not put him on this diet I figured) and is also allergic to milk, eggs, dairy corn and soy (as far as his food allergies go. His fist allergy test at 11 months came back positive for soy (not that high) but it was still there and he was on Isomil formula and the allergiest told us that if he is not throwing it up he can't be allergic don't worry about what the test says. They also said that for his corn allergy. Well we went to see a nutritionist and she put him on rice dream and within a week we seen an improvment with him. He seemed less fussy, happier and his appetite actually got a little better along with other improvments. So basically I would try it. It gets a little tough at first because most milk free/casien free foods are soy based but you can do it. We now are giving him some coconut milk in with his rice milk so he gets some fat in him. Good luck with everything. --Pam > > yes if it shows up at all I would ditch it, there are soooooo many ways soy can be an issue, opiate, IGG, IGE, if there is one of those tests you haven't done I would encourage you to do so > > Soy-free too? > > > > > If I've tried the gfcf diet and it didn't work, would it be worth taking out soy too.
