Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Gerald, My daughter is almost 3 years old. She was GFCF for 10 months and in the beginning we saw most of the improvement. We knew she had a yeast problem from her testing that her DAN doc did. Her yeast probably came from the tons of ear infections she had the first 2 years of her life that were treated with sometimes double doses of antibiotics. Once the DAN doc told us to make her GFCF she never had another ear infection. She stopped arm flapping, toe walking, spinning, and lots of negative behaviors. The Nystatin the doctor prescribed for yeast would make her diapers explode! I would take her off and then try again with the same results. She was taking probiotics through this first 10 months but we were not successfully treating the yeast. I must admit with everything else it was not my first concern till I read more about how much yeast really affects our little ones who are afflicted with it. Now it is my ultimate goal in treating her now. Currently she is SCD and on the following supplements: calcium/mag, b-6, Basic Nutrients, antioxidant, cod liver oil, MCT oil, B-12 injections, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Zinc Picolinate, and GABA. I have taken her off LipoCeutical Glutathione because I have recently found out that it is extracted from soy, which was not on their ingredients listings. She does not drink pure water very much, it is always has a splash of apple cider in it. She eats nut apple muffins with a banana for breakfast; lunch is a hotdog with applesauce, strawberries and grapes for snacks and for dinner chicken with carrots with a slice of almond bread. All her foods are completely SCD legal as her supplements. I am in the middle of making my first batch of SCD yogurt right now in hopes that this could be helpful to her. No matter what probiotic I use it still seems to give her diarrhea. I need help on this and will try any recommendations. She did have a supplement break during the holidays and we saw her go down hill. She has now gone back up but her diapers went from solid to yuck. Please advise! Thanks, Re: Probiotics and bad diapers Hi ! When you don't mind to have an answer to my questions, i would know the solution for it! Thank you in advance! How much water, does your little one drink in the day? And i mean pure water, like tap or bottle still water? Does she has any reaction on some kind of food, what she isn't allowed to eat? What does she has for breakfast? Whitch supplements, vitamins, enzymes does she get? Any more medication? How many different doctors, nutrition experts and other advisers are involved in her problems, to give you special advise?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi ! Well something what i allready thought about is in the pipeline of your sweety little girl! Does she react badly to any food? And also why do you think to keep so strict on the SCD diet? Legal or illegal, is the most important goal for you not to improve the health for your little sweety? There would be a way, a successful one, but you wouldn't able to cut out some foods from her daily meals!! Supplements are very, very, very important, but i think there is still a job on improvements to do. Well it would work perfectly for your little girl, because you have forgotten to start with a healthy foundation first, and then add some food plans from different diets to it! Give me some feedback to my questions again please!! Thank you Gerald Borgogna angelaborgogna@...> wrote: Gerald, My daughter is almost 3 years old.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I am very confused by your statements. I keep her strict to SCD to help with killing off yeast. Do you have a better idea? I have been doing supplements fro a year now. Her diet is restricted because these were all the foods that her gut did not have a problem with. What I need help with figuring out is why probiotics and Nystatin trigger diarrhea? Re: Probiotics and bad diapers Hi !

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Hi ! The problem in our time, and you need to become aware of that, it's really important to get the right picture for you: The foods what you can buy in your groccery or health shop, organic shop, doesn't have the vitamin amounts in it like 20, 30, 40, 50 years ago! Of course to earlier times they had not the whole programm on medications, supplements, vitamins, what we can buy now very easely! But today we have a bigger problem, and this is why autism rates are increasing! It breaks my heart, to watch that day in day out. when you follow the statments of autism rates the earlier years, 10, 20 years ago to today, you will find some interesting numbers. Imagine that : Over 80% of all the illnesses from babies, children, teenagers, adults and older people wouldn't exist today, when we would be more focused on a easy powerful healthy nutriton foundation. I am very confused by your statements. I keep her strict to SCD to help with killing off yeast. Of course you must be confused, with my answer to you. But think about that: You started with GFCF and now you are on a strict SCD diet. Your little girl had an ear infection an was not able to recover or sort out her bug until you started the GFCF diet. Antibiotics couldn't sort out the problem, but a change in your daily food habits could! All the speciall autism diets are very important, but there is room for improvement. They forget to start with a foundation. Aloe Vera: the dumbly healer!!! I found out about, and in all the cases of my patients and customers, who suffert from yeast infections or problems with the digestion trakt, it always worked for them!! Parents with babies coming to me and want advise, desperatlly for a solution to start with, because the tried everything else before, have been dealing with several doctors, couldn't find a solution, a treatment, and went on Aloe and suddenly disapeart the natral way. Yeast problems are sky rocking, you all can read that every day only here in our forum!! It breaks my heart to watch that and only because it's illegal, parents with their children are suffering much longer then they would have to. The other fantastic job what aloe does! It's natural totally mild and every one, every single one of your children can start with!! No other plant is so powerful, what everyone can start on!! Think about that for a minute. Many yeast problems wouldn't have the chance to start and the organism wouldn't need so much fuel only to work on that one yeast problem. , when you really want to give your little sweet daughter a gift, start with aloe in the morning, in a glas of middle warm water or pure and after the water. Advise: Your daughter should rinse the pure aloe in the mouth and then drink let it go through the throat. And this a few times in the day. Just simple with the water together!! I drink Aloe every day pure first thing in the morning, then my pure water and all my fantastic supplements. And you know what, i really feel that every single time when i give my body that powerful nutrition. Can you say this from your stuff as well. My health level increased, still when i thought i would would be totally healthy anyway. Oh man, i was really wrong with my opinion!! Today i help myself and i am able to give my clients with their children the best advise and wonderful nutrition! Can you imagine, when parents coming to me and telling me with tears in there eyes: thank you so much my child is reborn, making eye contact, the health problems becoming less and less. Parents can now add other food to their meals again, of course very carfully, but starting new life quality with their children, language therapies, behaviour theraphies, are starting to showing results, because their organism gets the right fuel and the organism motor begins to work properly!! Can everyone imagine that, what this means. With a proper foundation of one of the best nutrions starting and then building up the different diet strategies. And this is the future, and i am strongly, strongly working on that every single day!! I am living in the UK at the moment and i am still up at the moment. I have the power to help every single one of you and your child, just ask me and you will get an answer, no problem!! take my advice for now and get Aloe, but you need really Aloe not what most of the companies selling, just water and a drop of aloe. No wonder that the Aloe has such a bad name, because everyone tries to sell it!! Well i drink speciall Aloe, with chamomile extracts or our pure Aloe with 98,2% pure aloe. The highest % of Aloe what you can buy on the market! The pure nature in a bottle. Well i would have to write you so much more about helping your daugther, honestly!! Give me some feedback or let me know if you have concerns or you want to know more about, no problem, ! Greetings Gerald Borgogna angelaborgogna@...> wrote: I am very confused by your statements.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I honestly can't believe I'm reading this on this board... I can tell you first hand that aloe is awful for gut bugs and anyone with serious digestive disorders - it will help short term but will certainly cause tons of issues long term. Is this post allowed on this board since aloe is illegal on SCD? We tried the AMP molocure, which is the strongest aloe derivative you can get, and though it did wonders for about 2 wks, after that it did so much damage because my son's colitis got out of control... you couldn't pay me money to give my kids aloe again. This sounds like someone promoting their own product, if you ask me.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Don't worry - you're doing a great thing for your child. The only thing I would consider is cutting out berries, just until you can rule out what is causing the stool problems, then try again with small amount - they have always given both my kids explosive diarhea. Also cooked fruits are much easier to digest than the raw ones - cooked applesauce, pear sauce, etc... Also as long as there is no ketosis, high protein is not a bad thing... my kids don't tolerate that much fruit either - but slowly as their tummies improve, they can handle more and more. I am so greatful for this diet and the improvments I've seen - slow but steady. No quick fixes I'm afraid...

On other boards I'm on, personal businesses can't be referred to other than a link in the signature line. That might be a good policy here. Giving Gerald the benefit of the doubt I can understand why he wants to share what he thinks is a good thing but would still say, stick to a signature line link that says it all. That being said, this list is quite different than the boards I've referred to. I guess we're quite a vulnerable group. I hate to create more work for all our gracious monitors, but if the signature line idea takes hold, it would still be good if they would vet such links to be sure that something detrimental or illegal doesn't get through.

These include not discussing other diets and protocols (as recommendations) and adhering to to SCD as closely as possible. Our job is to support and advise those that are having difficulty so they can comply with SCD ain order to expect the best possible results. I am not clear on Gerald's orientation in relation to SCD. He seems very kind and concerned and perhaps does not understand the signature rule which is as you have indicated, below one's name. Also it is likely that English is not his first language and he may not have expressed himself in a way that is easily understood, I am hoping he will cclarify his interest in more detail. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 , It seems a bit early for so many raw fruits and veggies, but maybe she is okay with them. Many kids do not seem to tolerate raw veggies at 5 weeks into the diet. What it seems to me is that you are seeing the die-off of the yeast every time you have tried an anti-fungal or probiotic. Start VERY slowly with the yogurt. 1/8 tsp every other day. Then every day. Then increase slowly. My guess is that you will see die off even from the 1/8 tsp. Try using activated charcoal this time to " mop up " the yeast toxins. Give the activated charcoal away from food and supplements.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Robbie, Aloe is NOT allowed on SCD. Gerald's first post did not recommend aloe and did not seem to be spam. So, it was approved he was set to unmoderated, just like everyone else who joins the list. Everyone's first post is moderated to ensure that we don't get 50 spammers joining the list and spamming all of us. After the first post seems legitimate, the member is moved to unmoderated. I was out of town all day yesterday until midnight. I am just now getting to yesterday's posts. There will be no more recommending illegal items, including Aloe.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks, Jodie - I did not mean to imply at all that a moderator was not doing their job... I was just so shocked that someone on this list, new or not, would give the advice to take aloe - and it was worse because his advice was given to someone who was new to SCD and she was obviously very confused about the information she was getting from him. I was frustrated at him, not at any moderators!!! Thank you for all you do!!!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks Jody, I appreciate your feedback. I do not give Maddie uncooked veggies, but I do give her strawberries and grapes for snacks. I will try to find some alternates to see if this helps. I have heard a lot about charcoal and I will definitely be doing my homework! We gave Maddie a teaspoon of the goat milk yogurt this morning before I read your post. We have not seen diarrhea yet today but the rash on her butt from yesterday’s poops is looking bad! If you have any great recipes or great substitutes for food I really love to have them! Thanks, Re: Probiotics and bad diapers GERALD , It seems a bit early for so many raw fruits and veggies, but maybe she is okay with them. Many kids do not seem to tolerate raw veggies at 5 weeks into the diet. What it seems to me is that you are seeing the die-off of the yeast every time you have tried an anti-fungal or probiotic. Start VERY slowly with the yogurt. 1/8 tsp every other day. Then every day. Then increase slowly. My guess is that you will see die off even from the 1/8 tsp. Try using activated charcoal this time to " mop up " the yeast toxins. Give the activated charcoal away from food and supplements.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 OH whew! I know how much work it is to manage a board, and this one is prolly 100x larger than the one I manage, so many thanks go to you! I wanted to be sure you knew I was not directing anything at the moderators!!!
