Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 I think you will not find any " kids " supplements that don't have added sugars/starches. What many of us do is use adult formulas and cut them down. For example, most adult dosing for supps and over the counter stuff is based on a person weighing 150 lbs....... Katera weighs just over 50 lbs, so I just give her a third of the adult dose. You'll just need to read all the ingredients on any label.... and make sure there were no illegal additives. Patti Suppliment brands Are any of these brands good for SCDkids, solgar have sugar and starch free but not kids stuff. Nutralife Good Health s Natures Own Natural Nutrition Bio-Organics Radiance : these guys have enzymes are they any good? Hudson has phenol issues. http://www.pharmacydirect.co.nz/product.asp?catalog% 5Fname=PharmacyDirect & category% 5Fname=Natural+Health & displayName=Radiance & child% 5Fcategory=Health+Supplements+by+Manufacturer & subcategory% 5Fname=Radiance & product%5Fid=10902 & tree%5Flevel=3 Comvita Blackmores Solgar: these guys have so many good suppliments that look good butI've never heard anyone talk about them before. http://solgar.com/ Thanks, Chris.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Isn't there a list acceptable supplements on PecanBreed?

Is this a Typo on their page?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Yes, there is xanthan gum in the Brainchild formula.... and Elaine has talked to the Brainchild owner and decided that this particular supplement can be considered " acceptable " for the ASD kids only. It is not technically " SCD legal " in the broader sense. Lang explained to me that the xanthan gum they use is a very high quality, pharmaceutical grade..... which, he believes, is unlikely to actually feed gut pathogens. I guess Elaine must have been convinced enough to give it the nod.... although for very sensitive individuals, it still *may* be a problem...... it's impossible to say. She wants the ASD kids to have the advantage of a good supplement formula that is designed for their needs.... and has been unable to find any other way of suspending the various nutrients in a liquid form without the xanthan gum. So..... it's an individual decision. Elaine has definitely said " OK " ..... to the Brainchild Ultrasensitive formulas only. I don't know about the ascorbyl palmitate in the other supp you're referring to. Not sure what that is. Patti Re: Suppliment brands Isn't there a list acceptable supplements on PecanBreed?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Hi There, Just wanted to answer the question about BrainChild Nutritionals Ultra-Sensitive Formula. In May of this year Elaine personally approved this supplement for use on the SCD. She determined that the very small amount of xanthan gum in them was not a concern. You may check with Tamaro, who is a mom who works closely with Elaine, to confirm this information. Terri Mykland mom to Zane, 11yo high functioning autistic Brainchild Business Manager you wrote: While we're talking supplements: Brainchild say they have made a legal SCD supplement(Spectrum Support Ultra-Sensitive Formula), and it's in the legal list on PecanBread, but there's still Xantham Gum in it.
