" i hope i don't get busted for offering another yahoo group here,

but kathy blanco on the autism_iron group is absolutely

amazing when it comes to info. "

Nope, not busted. I prefer people to say where good information

can be found.

Kathy has a lot of interesting info on that list.

Jody and all,

Some have managed to get their clostridia under control with the diet. It

depends on the individual case.

-----That will be the determining factor in whether SCD will eventually

help eradicate it or not. Bacteria, such as Clostridia that can

feed on protein cannot be eliminated by SCD .

<< It's easy to be discouraged when you see posts that reveal problems,

drawbacks, regressions, etc.. but I always take in to consideration that the

parents of the kids that are flourishing won't post as much because they don't

'need' help. Does that make sense? >>

Robbie, We've felt that to be true on this list for some time..... The

families that have great results with kids doing great tend to get busy with all

the other " stuff of life " ...... and don't have much need for support. So, it

might *seem* like many of the SCD kids have ongoing problems.... but that's a

little skewed. Good observation. I wish we could have updates more often from

the true success stories.

Hi Laurie,

Some people even with Clostridia find that the diet is enough. Some

need to do more such as flagyl, or vancomysin with the diet. It

really depends on the individual.
