Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Hello, We have been truly SCD legal for 4 days now, hanging in there! We havent given him any of his usual vitamins and I have been searching for good legal subsitutes. I know about Freeda vitamins but I am looking for someone to provide me with some actual suggestions of what kind they use. And if they are not chewable how do you administer or hide them on this limited intro diet? Im looking for a good multi-vitamin, B6/Mag supplement, calcium, folinic acid. Also any other suggestions? Thanks so much, (mother of Noah - 26 months,asd -SCD 4 days and Olivia -9 months, nt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Hi , The Freeda vitamin I use is just labled " SCD Multi-vitamin " . I went and took a look at the Freeda website (www.freedavitamins.com ) and looked around a little bit. They do have a lot of other products but I didn't really see any others labeled for SCD. Some of the others may be legal but I'm not sure. I didn't look through the whole site. Have you taken a look at the supplement section at the pecanbread.com website? There's a whole list of legal/illegal..... of course, not every single possible legal vitamin is on that list, but there is also a list of what you want to look for in terms of legal and illegal ingredients, so you can just read labels at your natural foods store and determine whether a supplement would work or not. Oh.... and I just crush the Freeda's up with a mortar and pestle.... and mix it in applesauce. Doesn't taste or smell too bad, but then Katera isn't too picky in terms of tastes. I used to use the Kirkman hypoallergenic NuThera (which is legal).... and I just opened the capsules into food. They're small and the taste isn't bad.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Hi Again, Correction: I wrote before and told you we had several SCD-legal supplements, designed to support children on the spectrum. I've since been told that what I said isn't quite accurate. These liquid supplements contain a tiny amount of xanthan gum, so they are technically not SCD-legal. The more accurate way to say it is that these supplements have been approved by Elaine Gottschall for use on the specific carbohydrate diet. Elaine and our founder, who developed the supplements, talked extensively, and she decided to approve them for use on the SCD, despite the miniscule amount of xanthan gum. The list of approved liquid supplements has changed slightly as well: Spectrum Support Ultra-Sensitive Formula (multivitamin/mineral supplements) NightCal (liquid calcium) - Flavored and unflavored versions LiquiZinc (liquid zinc) - Flavored and unflavored versions Sorry to intrude on your list, please forgive if this offends anyone.
