Re: Taking a break from supps and enzymes (except No Fenol)

January 16, 2006

Wow, I don't know what a GERD is, but, nothing helps my son with sleeping

either. Let me know if this works for you or not. I've heard of the SCD, and

have looked it up a few times, but I don't know why, it just doesn't make

any scense to me at all. So, if you master it, could you explain to me in

dummy language how the SCD works??? His BMs are also. and have always been

mush- no unusual odor, though, even after 2 weeks of Nystatin. Good luck

with this- I really hope you see good things with it. Keep me posted,

please.

Amber.

Greetings Amber~

GERD is another name for reflux.

One thing I thought might help you with sleeping is to move the exercise (walk)

you do with him in the evening to earlier in the day so you can wind him down to

sleep mode at night. It may not make any difference, but I have heard that

exercise should be away from sleep time. Worth a try perhaps?

I wish you the best of luck!

Yes, I'll let you know how things go. GERD is a fancy name for

reflux.

SCD is really simple in that you start out only eating foods that

your body can digest easily and build up to complex things adding

them one at a time. That way your gut has a chance to heal itself

before attempting the digest more complicated foods - like sugars

and starchs - which you can add back in later after the healing if

your body tolerates them.

Good luck

BTW - I read that potatoes feed yeast. I think I remember you

saying that you were giving your son Nystatin to fight yeast and

that he is eating potatoes? If so, you may want to eliminate them

for awhile.

Amber,

Also since you have so much luck with implementing dietary changes, you may

want to read about SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) here which is written in

plain and lay person language:

I've pretty much cut potatoes out, he gets a little bit once in a while. I

give him sweet potatoes, or yams. Do they feed yeast, as well?? Can you tell

me some foods that are easy to digest, and don't feed yeast? I am still

doing a re-introduction of foods to him- he is up to chicken, turkey,

sorghum flour, yellow beans, pinto beans, chick peas, ckick pea flour,

pears, and yams. I need to know what to give him next- I am thinking

parsnips, or carrots, or yellow squash? Thanks. Amber.

Hi Amber,

The basic diet starts with homemade yoghurt (probiotic), eggs,

hamburger or fish, chicken soup, homemade cheese cake, gelatin and

juice - and you add to that basic once your body adjusts and is

flushed out of bad bacteria.

Yams are on the SCD as illegal - I believe they too feed yeast. You

can learn more about the basic diet at www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info

Peace,

Bobbie

Hi Bobbi,

How about parsnips?

I thought that we were supposed to stay away from fish because of the metal

toxins, or something like that?

I haven't given fish because I was told awhile ago to stay from all

fish, have you heard anything about that?

I wanted to give him fish, because it's so good for you.

Oh, also, what about carrots??

And the whole egg, or just the whites?

Thanks. Amber.

Hi Amber,

You have some very good questions and I love to read your posts.

We've been working the food issues for over six months and I'm still

learning! Our *safe* list of foods has grown since we started

eliminated and then reintroducing foods.

I have a good friend whose son was born with some serious medical

issues (no anus, pulled intestines down, tethered cord, tongue tied,

constipation, etc.) She has some great food resources and I've

asked her to email me a list of foods that bind. I was absolutely

shocked when she told me carrots can bind a kid up--this was the day

Ronan was walking on his tippy toes at her house after lunch. This

is a clear indication for us that something is constipating our

son. It usually is associated with some stinky gas and very firm

BMs. I hope to get the complete list from my friend and will pass

it on to you.

Good luck!

> > Oh, also, what about carrots??

January 17, 2006

Hi , I would love to see that list. Thank-you so much. I am surprised,

too, that carrots are binding.

Your poor friend, I feel sorry for her son. Amber.
