Have you tried enzymes yet?

That may help you to expand her diet.

Are you giving her any probiotics?

Jody,

Yes, we are using Zyme-Prime, 1 capsule, 3X a day with meal. She did

well on first day, then had diarrhea on 2nd and 4th day. But the tummy

seems slightly smaller so we're continueing with that.

Yes, we give her Kirkman multiflora, 1 capsule, 2x a day. We were

giving her probiotics before we started SCD.

Should I start yogurt? Will she tolerate it?

Should I introduce nuts to boost her fat, calories, carb and protein?

The multiflora is not recommended for SCD.

Elaine recommended only L. Acidophilus as a supplement.

As I remember, her caloric intake wasn't low. Just a little too much

protein. Right?

I am just checking in--I'm afraid that I haven't been following too

closely since Ben (16) is apparently out of the die off stage. That

was very stressful. And such a relief that he is better.

I am very concerned about what I just read.

Your daughter appears to be a bit yellow and she is so exhausted

that she is flopping around? Is that still correct?

I didn't notice her age--but I would think it is time to bring in a

doctor. This diet is clearly a powerful thing--so exciting for

most of us. But some of our kids are sicker than others. Can you

call an expert? I know that you probably know more about the diet

than your doctor--it is a huge problem.

Any updates?
