Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi , Have you tried removing the sal/phenols?Most things that he eats are very high in one or the other.It may not be an issue for him,just a thought.When my son eats anything that is high,he will not do things that he has mastered in his programs.He acts like he's never seen some stuff before.They have a huge affect on my son.You might do some food trials to see.Your doing a great job,don't get frustrated.It's easy to do,I know.Hang in there.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 As I said, I am starting to think along the lines of supplements but I am really having a hard time making ends meet. The financial sacrifice to get supplements would have to be a sure thing. What I meant by trying different supplements is not a matter of wanting to see what he needs but what I can get down him or he can tolerate. Before SCD I bought a big canister of SuperNuThera only to throw it away due to it making him too hyper. The task of finding a multi- vitamin that is SCD legal and that I can force him to take seems impossible. Since he is allergic to fish, I don't know if there is an SCD legal EFA he can take. I used to give him TMG but stopped that since it is illegal. Where did you find a legal version of DMG? As for what he is lacking developmentally for age, he is 5 and can't talk. This is my #1 concern and the source of my disappointment. I feel that I am giving myself 150% with my main desire to get him to talk and that is the only thing he isn't doing. Honestly I am at the point of giving up because I feel it is hopeless. If after all this effort he cannot talk at age 5, what makes me think he will talk by age 10, 15 or 50? > Dear , > > Have you considered having any more testing done since he's been on SCD for > some time now?

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 " The financial sacrifice to get supplements would have to be a sure thing " Doesn't Kirkman send out samples anymore? I ordered these in the past. You get a small package that will give you enough for about a week. You can then see if this will work for your child. These samples were on the order form in the past, they were not mentioned elsewhere.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Lynn, Please be careful giving only chicken and veggies. Children need carbohydrates too. SCD was not meant to be a low carb diet. Ketosis is not the goal of SCD. Eating only chicken and veggies will very likely NOT provide enough carbohydrates unless you are very careful to monitor his vegetable intake. Using something like fitday.com can make that easier for you to do. Jody mom to -5 and -7 SCD 17 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
