SCD diet, for how long

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I only just joined and would like to greet everyone.

My son has autism (6yrs old) and I implemented SCD for him about 3 months ago.

He also gets good probiotics regularly, as well as home made fermented goats

milk (kefir)and only freshly squeezed juice. I have not noticed any changes for

better so far, neither on his skin nor in his behaviour, except that his stool

is a bit more regular. If anything, he appears more withdrawn and 'in his

world', finding it very difficult to tune into adult lead activities, his

anxiety levels and aggression is about the same as ever etc.

I am a single parent and on a very low income and find implementing the diet

quite time consuming and expensive. Spending more time in the kitchen means that

i spend less time interacting wiht my son and feel guilty about it.

On one hand he does not appear to be benefiting from the diet, while on the

other is having less interaction time with me... Wondering how much longer i

should persist with the diet??

Perhaps it is important to mention that my son never had stomach problems

(only sometimes constipation) and that he always looked healthy, he was never

fed with junk or processed food and despite being a picky eater, i managed to

get him eat balanced diet. Only lately (about a year ago) he started getting

some redness on his left arm, which looks like a rush and which periodically

disappears.

Any advice or ideas will be gratefully received.

Best wishes,

Vesna
