Re: Question from a newbie to SCD

[Guest guest]

Hello to all--

Although we've been doing dietary intervention (removal of casein/soy/citric

acid, etc) since my son was 4 months old (due to severe gastrointestinal

dysfunction from which he nearly died--and casein and soy intolerances were

blamed), we've only been doing the SCD for 12 days now. No one knows to

date what is wrong with my son's stomach, and he has has extensive testing

with pediatric gastroenterologists. My son has mild autism, and definitely

has the autistic hyperactivity/odd repeating of phrases, and these seemed to

dramatically decrease just a few days into the diet. Now, on day twelve,

the hyperactivity/odd repeating is back, coinciding with a bad bout of

constipation (my kid is 7 1/2, and has been hospitalized 3 times for

clean-outs). Has anyone seen anything like this before? I do have to say

that the school has reported very focused days since we started the diet. I

am 100% positive that he did not get ahold of any illegal foods. Also, his

poop does not just smell rancid anymore. We are seeing good things, and are

encouraged. I know my son's " problems " are related to his stomach--does

anyone have a comment?

Thanks!

1.Was he constipated preSCD?

2.Did you start with the intro diet?

3.What foods is he eating now? (peeled, cooked fruit and

vegetables?)
