Thanks for the information Carolyn, but please be cautious when making

comparisons with Dr. Mercola's recommendations

Elaine has often commented that his dietary protocols are not suitable for SCD.

Since we are dealing with food, we can always find similarities in many other

programs. (I used to quote Mercola from time to time too) People often identify

other diets as being like SCD. It is a very natural and understandable.

Because for some newcomers here, it poses a challenge to get started on SCD we

have suggested in the list guidelines to not discuss other protocols.

I understand, but my point was not meant to be the diet, but that the

fungus in the sinus might be similar to the bug problem in the gut, and our

children might be dealing with similar issues. In other words, it all goes

around. And since my son also has lots of congestion issues, I was wondering

if there was a " link " and if the SCD diet might cure sinus issues as well. I

do tend to get off topic into the science because its so fascinating.

I have had sinusitis since childhood but when I started SCD and eliminated

grains there was a significant improovement. i rember about two years after

being on SCD I had a Croissant and my nose immediately became stuffed up and

began to run so what you say may be significant.
