Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Hi Anne, I read your story and I truly believe you can help with with your experience on SCD. I have a daughter age 6 who has extreme food sensitivities, many of which are not known. She is down to only 4 food items, all of which are illegals. She weighs just 20 pounds and looks like a 3 year-old. I would really appreciate if you could share with me your path to success, especially the beginning stage. I am at a loss of how to start as I fear that she may be allergic to anything that I give her. I have kind of given up introducing new food as she always react to it. Does your daughter ever react to anything on the SCD illegal food list? How do you overcome the problem. Thank you and happy new year.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Actually I would like to hear any and all suggestions! It is very helpful to hear of someone's success. Also, did you implement milk (due to the casein requirement) and what originally convinced you to try the diet? _____ From: iwrf Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 9:24 AM To: pecanbread Subject: Our Success Stories Hi, all, Success stories were requested, so I thought I'd tell you at least a little about our successes. My daughter will be 4 in a couple of weeks. She no longer has GI problems (had eosinophilic gastroenteritis and an inflammatory colitis which was never diagnosed), is no longer ASD, and is down from over 40 food allergies to just a few (she was written up in a journal when she was 6 months old because of her allergic sensitivity). Her environmental allergies are also virtually nonexistent now as well. She has gone from failure to thrive to being on the 85%ile on the growth charts. When I say she is no longer ASD, she had been mild, and you can no longer tell she was ever ASD at all. Our holiday celebrations were amazing this year, like a true miracle. My daughter walked into a room with my entire extended family, and rather than hiding in a corner, she stood next to me for a minute, then sat down between a cousin and an aunt, and started talking to them. Later, she sat down between her grandparents and giggled when Grandpa tickled her! (She previously would never even go near my Dad, much less let him or anyone else touch her!) My son just turned a year. He is down from over 20 food allergies (started at just 3 days old) to just a few, has no GI problems (he had some pretty big liver issues) and is a very happy, healthy boy! My 14-year-old stepson is no longer ADD, lettered in Cross Country this year, is getting all A's and B's in subjects he was previously close to failing, and is a very insightful, spiritual, wonderful person. My husband no longer has borderline high cholesterol and is very proud of his family. I no longer have any food allergies or fatigue, which is a huge thing! There were times in school I thought it was a miracle that I would pass a test, I was so exhausted and had such brain fog! Now, I graduated from medical school as a Physician Assistant earlier this year, and in addition to a BS in Nutritional Science, I am now pursuing a Masters in it! I feel like I am finally able to recognize myself as a whole, giving, spiritual person, connected to a great big universe! Don't give up. The SCD is a very powerful tool - what you put into it is what you get out of it, and for us, strict adherence really paid off in rich rewards. For us, though, diet alone was not enough, and when we set out to help just one member of the family, we all ended up being helped and we learned some really big things from our experiences. I don't want to list everything we did to make all of this possible, because the details of what worked for us won't necessarily work for you (for instance, we are not really familiar with DAN or any other autism protocols). It definitely takes a holistic perspective - physical, emotional, spiritual. Every day I sit and talk with folks in my practice, I encourage patience, hope, hard work and an open mind. I have seen some truly amazing healing happen, and for dietary intervention, I usually use the SCD. I have a lot more I could say, but I need to spend some time with the kids, my house looks like a bomb from the toy store exploded in our living room! Good luck to all of you, and God Bless.

My stepson had all his vaccines, but neither of the little kids has ever had one.

The Diflucan put him into liver failure.
