For your info, in case you find something that pertains to your area or some

place you visit.

My sons are recovering autism and digestive disturbance. SCD has been a

miracle for us. We have done the rounds of " specialists " and what not, but

development started becomming spontaneous with SCD and digestive enzymes and

some other nutritional supports we use. Both children were nonverbal at the

start of SCD, Hunter had severe behavoiral problems, tics, was a danger to

himself, could not be potty trained, and Ben had fungal cysts on his rectum

which a surgeon was going to perform surgery on, and had extreme, I mean extreme

leaky gut, he always passed water. Healing takes time, and as you can see, we

have been on the diet for 18 months, slightly longer than that as when we first

started, we quit for abit out of sickness and frustration, only to realize we

started losing ground! We got back on, and development has been slow, steady and

spontaneous since (a few regressions we weathered, they become less and less

overtime. We also homeschool, and part of homeschooling is to learn

how to cook SCD foods! Not only are they learning to care for themselves, but

they are learning a professional skill and basic division and all about food.

Things I never learned in my own childhood. Well, except for division, I learned

that. lol Also, it is just plain fun for kids to make a mess in the kitchen! I

let them choose some of their own foods. Be sure to lay out the choices first

though. heehee When the brain is able to be fed, it can start working again, and

children have the capacity to form new connections like crazy.

I am a pianist, and after a stroke while living in Leadville, I lost the use

of my left arm and hand. I was told I would never play again. Even my old brain,

through increased omega 3's, special herbs, then SCD, and then digestive

enzymes, guess what? The specialists and doctors were wrong. Connections can be

made, the brain can rewire itself! It is possible, scientists study it all the

time, and part of this process and getting the fuel to the brain! People with

malabsorption are not adequately supplying their brains with enough nutrients,

which delays the formation of additional wiring. This is my belief. Another

angle why SCD is a miracle and important for our family.

Below is an older post I made a while back on how to culture your own butter.

I am of the opinion cultured better is somewhat healthier than uncultured,

because, like the yogurt, additional enzymes are formed by the probiotic

bacteria digesting the casein.

Somewhere on pecanbread, there is a detailed recipee for making your own ghee,

basically you heat the butter " clarify it " until the fat and casein solids

seperate from one another. I haven't made ghee before, perhaps someone else here

has more detailed instructions.

I really like the taste of making and culturing my own butter!

Summer

I got this information from a farm I buy things from:

Okay, this website isn't all about doing it raw and right, but it's a

great, easy-to-understand way to learn butter-making for yourself! And

it has nice pictures (tho' small)!

http://webexhibits.org/butter/doityourself.html

Instead of using a food processor, try a blender or an upright mixer (I

can use 2 qts of cream in my Kitchen Aid).

Also, to culture butter, you can leave the cream on the counter for

12-24 hours before you 'butter' it.<<<

I culture for 24 hours with SCD starter. I trust making this more than buying

cultured butter, and it is cheaper. Better to buy fresh raw cream from a farm,

but if not, heavy whipping cream will do. It takes so good and fresh!

that anymore at the age of 38.....I have been sick most of my life.....I think

the psychiatric meds may have kept me alive....but " starvation " and toxic

reactions to meds damaged my brain...I ALWAYS FELT SO TOXIC AND POISONED BY

THEM! 15 years later.....New evaluation by professional psychiatrist and

psychologist said that I had been misdiagnosed! That my problem was not

Bi-polar at all! To make a very long and complicated story SHORT....that I had

Wow! You have been very wronged!

It is not too late for your piano playing. Work on your diet, and when you are

ready, pick it up. I am a music teacher, and if people can come to me and learn

piano at 50, and you have a natural talent and leaning with piano, there is no

reason but yourself you cannot do it. You will have to start over, and begin

again, but once you get into it, you'll start flying through it.

Hope? You need hope? I very dear friend of mine, really I should call her

family now, has had a similar history you described. She is celiac! And, with my

SCD book and some other stuff she is doing, she is recovering. Yes, damage to

the brain, but we use so little of our brains anyway, don't let that be a

limiting factor. We are only limited by our thinking, I think thinking lays down

parameters for what we can and cannot do, can and cannot heal, can and cannot

achieve, can and cannot lay down wiring. Think positive, you are walking down a

new road in your life.

Hope! You have hope, you are doing it! You are on SCD, starting enzymes, and

all kinds of beautiful things are happening to you! You're homeschooling a

beautiful family, and your art is still there, it is just dormant. No one can

take that away from you.

I am very sorry you were misdiagnosed, like my good friend. I am very sorry

you went through this experience. Rain people have extroadinary talents that

need to be nurtured, at any age, healing the gut is paramount to realizing

potential.

I hope SCD will be ever bit the miracle for you it has been for us.

Thanks for sharing your story!

Below is an older post I made a while back on how to culture your own

butter. I am of the opinion cultured better is somewhat healthier than

uncultured, because, like the yogurt, additional enzymes are formed by the

probiotic bacteria digesting the casein.

Somewhere on pecanbread, there is a detailed recipee for making your own

ghee, basically you heat the butter " clarify it " until the fat and casein solids

seperate from one another. I haven't made ghee before, perhaps someone else here

has more detailed instructions.

I really like the taste of making and culturing my own butter!

I got this information from a farm I buy things from:

Okay, this website isn't all about doing it raw and right, but it's a

great, easy-to-understand way to learn butter-making for yourself! And

it has nice pictures (tho' small)!

http://webexhibits.org/butter/doityourself.htmlhttp://webexhibits.org/butter/do\

ityourself.html>

Instead of using a food processor, try a blender or an upright mixer (I

can use 2 qts of cream in my Kitchen Aid).

Also, to culture butter, you can leave the cream on the counter for

12-24 hours before you 'butter' it.<<<

I culture for 24 hours with SCD starter. I trust making this more than

buying cultured butter, and it is cheaper. Better to buy fresh raw cream from a

farm, but if not, heavy whipping cream will do. It takes so good and fresh!

Wow! You have been very wronged!

It is not too late for your piano playing. Work on your diet, and when you are

ready, pick it up. I am a music teacher, and if people can come to me and learn

piano at 50, and you have a natural talent and leaning with piano, there is no

reason but yourself you cannot do it. You will have to start over, and begin

again, but once you get into it, you'll start flying through it.

Hope? You need hope? I very dear friend of mine, really I should call her

family now, has had a similar history you described. She is celiac! And, with my

SCD book and some other stuff she is doing, she is recovering. Yes, damage to

the brain, but we use so little of our brains anyway, don't let that be a

limiting factor. We are only limited by our thinking, I think thinking lays down

parameters for what we can and cannot do, can and cannot heal, can and cannot

achieve, can and cannot lay down wiring. Think positive, you are walking down a

new road in your life.

Hope! You have hope, you are doing it! You are on SCD, starting enzymes, and

all kinds of beautiful things are happening to you! You're homeschooling a

beautiful family, and your art is still there, it is just dormant. No one can

take that away from you.

I am very sorry you were misdiagnosed, like my good friend. I am very sorry

you went through this experience. Rain people have extroadinary talents that

need to be nurtured, at any age, healing the gut is paramount to realizing

potential.

I hope SCD will be ever bit the miracle for you it has been for us.

Thanks for sharing your story!

You give me a lot of hope...after being over medicated for over a decade and a

music and in art work...you would never know it now...my brain doesn't work like

that anymore at the age of 38.....I have been sick most of my life.....I think

the psychiatric meds may have kept me alive....but " starvation " and toxic

reactions to meds damaged my brain...I ALWAYS FELT SO TOXIC AND POISONED BY

THEM! 15 years later.....New evaluation by professional psychiatrist and

My sons are recovering autism and digestive disturbance. SCD has been a

miracle for us. We have done the rounds of " specialists " and what not, but

development started becomming spontaneous with SCD and digestive enzymes and

some other nutritional supports we use. Both children were nonverbal at the

start of SCD, Hunter had severe behavoiral problems, tics, was a danger to

himself, could not be potty trained, and Ben had fungal cysts on his rectum

which a surgeon was going to perform surgery on, and had extreme, I mean extreme

leaky gut, he always passed water. Healing takes time, and as you can see, we

have been on the diet for 18 months, slightly longer than that as when we first

started, we quit for abit out of sickness and frustration, only to realize we

started losing ground! We got back on, and development has been slow, steady and

spontaneous since (a few regressions we weathered, they become less and less

overtime. We also homeschool, and part of homeschooling is to learn

how to cook SCD foods! Not only are they learning to care for themselves, but

they are learning a professional skill and basic division and all about food.

Things I never learned in my own childhood. Well, except for division, I learned

that. lol Also, it is just plain fun for kids to make a mess in the kitchen! I

let them choose some of their own foods. Be sure to lay out the choices first

though. heehee When the brain is able to be fed, it can start working again, and

children have the capacity to form new connections like crazy.

I am a pianist, and after a stroke while living in Leadville, I lost the use

of my left arm and hand. I was told I would never play again. Even my old brain,

through increased omega 3's, special herbs, then SCD, and then digestive

enzymes, guess what? The specialists and doctors were wrong. Connections can be

made, the brain can rewire itself! It is possible, scientists study it all the

time, and part of this process and getting the fuel to the brain! People with

malabsorption are not adequately supplying their brains with enough nutrients,

which delays the formation of additional wiring. This is my belief. Another

Your message has warmed my heart and brought happy tears to my eyes. Before

this list serve I felt so alone...so I started to wite my families story...a

testimony that I now will dedicate to Elaine and her Children. I hope that your

are right and that I again can write music like I once did....I can't even play

my own songs I wrote at the tender age of 13.....when I look at the notes...I

just can't believe that I wrote it...it is like having two lives.....the one

before my brain was taken...and then now.....one thing that makes me happy...is

that with the SCD I may hold my grand babies...so many relatives have died from

this undiagnosed...my mother and sister where just two of many. My mother never

got to hold her grand babies.....at one time I feared that I would die

young....thanks to diagnosis of CD and running into the correct way to eat....I

hope you are right....I HAVE HOPE.....at the age of 38 I am also learning how to

play for the first time. When I read Elaine's book I could not believe my eyes

when I saw the brain gut connection....how could have my doctors missed this?

And then if it hadn't been for me....almost missed my kids and my husband! What

can use 2 qts of cream in my Kitchen Aid).

Also, to culture butter, you can leave the cream on the counter for

12-24 hours before you 'butter' it.<<<

I culture for 24 hours with SCD starter. I trust making this more than

buying cultured butter, and it is cheaper. Better to buy fresh raw cream from a

farm, but if not, heavy whipping cream will do. It takes so good and fresh!

For your info, in case you find something that pertains to your area or

some place you visit.

My sons are recovering autism and digestive disturbance. SCD has been a

miracle for us. We have done the rounds of " specialists " and what not, but

development started becomming spontaneous with SCD and digestive enzymes and

some other nutritional supports we use. Both children were nonverbal at the

start of SCD, Hunter had severe behavoiral problems, tics, was a danger to

himself, could not be potty trained, and Ben had fungal cysts on his rectum

which a surgeon was going to perform surgery on, and had extreme, I mean extreme

leaky gut, he always passed water. Healing takes time, and as you can see, we

have been on the diet for 18 months, slightly longer than that as when we first

started, we quit for abit out of sickness and frustration, only to realize we

started losing ground! We got back on, and development has been slow, steady and

spontaneous since (a few regressions we weathered, they become less and less

overtime. We also homeschool, and part of homeschooling is to learn

how to cook SCD foods! Not only are they learning to care for themselves,

but they are learning a professional skill and basic division and all about

food. Things I never learned in my own childhood. Well, except for division, I

learned that. lol Also, it is just plain fun for kids to make a mess in the

kitchen! I let them choose some of their own foods. Be sure to lay out the

choices first though. heehee When the brain is able to be fed, it can start

working again, and children have the capacity to form new connections like

crazy.

I am a pianist, and after a stroke while living in Leadville, I lost the

use of my left arm and hand. I was told I would never play again. Even my old

brain, through increased omega 3's, special herbs, then SCD, and then digestive

enzymes, guess what? The specialists and doctors were wrong. Connections can be

made, the brain can rewire itself! It is possible, scientists study it all the

time, and part of this process and getting the fuel to the brain! People with

malabsorption are not adequately supplying their brains with enough nutrients,

which delays the formation of additional wiring. This is my belief. Another

angle why SCD is a miracle and important for our family.

Below is an older post I made a while back on how to culture your own

butter. I am of the opinion cultured better is somewhat healthier than

uncultured, because, like the yogurt, additional enzymes are formed by the

probiotic bacteria digesting the casein.

Somewhere on pecanbread, there is a detailed recipee for making your own

ghee, basically you heat the butter " clarify it " until the fat and casein solids

seperate from one another. I haven't made ghee before, perhaps someone else here

has more detailed instructions.

I really like the taste of making and culturing my own butter!

Your story is similar to mine, I was 'misdiagnosed' for 10 years as having

anorexia. I was hospitalized 4 times for months at a time, locked in

hospital room with a nurse watching over me 24/7 so I wouldn't exercise or

throw up or what ever else they feared I would do. My bathroom was locked

and when I went I had to have a nurse in there with me. The whole time I

was forced to stay in the hospital bed allowed very little movement and

force fed Ensure and a whole other bunch of junk food, bread and pasta

gallore, ice cream, you name it, I have a naturally low heart rate (resting

37) and so when ever my heart rate dropped below 40 at night they would wake

me up and force me to have another ensure.

They just couldn't understand what I could be doing since, despite them

upping my calories to unnaturally high levels daily, I continued to lose

weight. Did they not get it, what they were feeding me was killing me.

They didn't want to get it, they had decided their diagnoses and didn't want

to be wrong.

after going through pain for 10 years I was finally diagnosed with celiac

sprue and UC

After being told over and over to eat grains and wheat despite me just

naturally avoiding them..........that is my story
