Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I would keep an eye out on her fruit and ride it out. If the anti's are not working, you really have no other choice. Don't forget to wear your seatbelt 'cause its going to be a rough one! Shall we hang in till her body recovers with the diet or there is something that I need to look into to help her?

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 Elena, Check in the section marked " files " at the homepage for this group...... there is a carrot juice and garlic recipe that is excellent for yeast. One of our very experienced SCD moms says it's the best anti-fungal she's ever used. Patti, mom to Katera, SCD 17 months chelation I've started SCD with my almost 5y.o.daughte right after I came back from the conference.She did great. A week ago we started TD-DMPS. Progress is unbelievable, but yest is out of control. I don't think adding medication will do anything, becouse we've tried Nystatin (4months), Diflucan (1month) result is 0. Diet is the way to go, but what to do now. Shall we hang in till her body recovers with the diet or there is something that I need to look into to help her? Any ideas? Thanks Elena For information on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, please read the book _Breaking the Vicious Cycle_ by Elaine Gottschall and read the following websites: http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info and http://www.pecanbread.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Interesting letters from Binstock et al. It seems to me that people don't understand the differing mechanisms of the two diets. GF/CF eliminates the peptides that leak through gut and act as opioids, so some children are much more " clear-headed " when they are not drugged by the peptides. But as I understand it, GF/CF does nothing to heal the holes in the gut. GF/CF is more like symptomatic treatment. SCD, on the other hand, works to actually heal those holes, as well as general gut healing through re-establishment of proper gut-bug mix, all of that resulting in better absorption and thus better nutrition overall. It just seems so obvious to me that some children would benefit to a degree from GF/CF if they had been drugged by the peptides, but that all of those children and many more would benefit by healing the holes in the first place (SCD). A really simple analogy: GF/CF is like removing the tea from a tea bag with a hole in it. SCD is like sewing up the hole. :-) Anybody else share my understanding of this?

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I think you're absolutely right, . Very good.... and simple.... explanation.
