Guest guest Posted November 17, 2004 Report Share Posted November 17, 2004 Hi I just wanted to tell you our D.A.N. Dr was pleased by what we were telling him and he was seeing in our son Gavin at our appointment on Monday. We drive 3 hours one way to see this Dr. Our son sits so nicely in the car, playing with toys, writing words, looking at books, just being very well behaved. ) Which is a blessing. 6 hours in a car for anyone is a not fun. You will be happy to know that last visit August 30 our son weighed 48.2. This visit he weighed in at 50.8 SO I told the teacher he is gaining weight on this diet, no need to worry he is starving. ) Plus the Dr wrote a note about how important this diet is for our son since he has such yeast overgrowth issues and had constipation issues as well which have all gotten better because of this SCD. Our son held the Dr hand, had great eye contact with him. Was not verbally stimming or stimming on anything at all. Not even hyper. The Dr was totally amazed. He has seen our son where he can not even sit down. He will turn on and off the lights, will line up cars, will walk back and forth the same area over and over again looking out of the courner of his eyes. This Dr. has treated Gavin for 2 years now for yeast, constipation, hyperactivity, diet issues, you name it. He was impressed by how well he is doing. We plan to start Folic Acid, TMG and B-12 shots. I hope all of which is ok to do while doing the SCD. I have decided to back up alittle bit with the diet as well. I think I introduced foods too quickly. I made up a bunch of hamburgers today. ALL with ONLY squash added to them. Then a bunch with ONLY spinach, then ONLY carrots, you get the idea. How many days should I give him ONLY that type of food to see if he has a reaction to it? 3 - 4 or is that too short of time? He is totally amazing me though with some of the things he is doing. The Dr thinks that now with the B 12 shots he will not be so hyper cause before on the GFCF diet he was getting so many carbs and that was just setting him off. I did notice today that he was biting on his sleave of his shirt he has NEVER done that before? Any thought to as why he would do that? And he would not sit in the bathtub tonight for his bath? Sensory maybe...hhhmm ALways something with these kids. ) Thanks to all who have helped me with my ? and problems in the past few months. Does anyone have any ideas for crunchy snacky type items????? He does not eat the carrot curls, or the squash fries. He was not even fond of any cookie or bar today He just wanted his meat and veggies and eggs. I need to get some different type foods in him. I will try to offer him pear sauce EVERY DAY or applesauce and sooner or later he will HAVE to eat it, or taste it. ) Sorry so long I will shut up now.

It depends on him. 3-4 days is usually a pretty good amount of time, but it really depends on him. I'll know pretty quickly but some people can take 4-5 days. > He is totally amazing me though with some of the > things he is doing.
