Gfcf vs scd
yes…I know thos probably has been posted and discussed, so Iapologize for repeating it.I was at a group for moms of children with autism and one (veryannoying, pushy, obnoxious) mother asked when we were going to startSCD now that we’ve been GFCF for awhile…And that this will heal thegut faster and then he can start on regualr foods again.I was so put off by her that I didn’t want to ask her anything aboutit.So I’m wondering if scd is the next step?He’s only been GFCF since May of this year.
What can you tell me about SCD and can you share experiences with it?(Is it difficult? Is it a scary transition - re-introducing foods?)

SCD is not for all GFCF children but it was definately for my child.We were GFCF for 9 months and the gut kept getting worse. He was on3 rounds of Diflucan many rounds of Nystatin, GSE, OLE, the listgoes on. My son’s yeast got worse and worse every day.
We did not go 100% SCD but we did implement MANY of the SCD foodsinto his diet. His gut is very much under control as of right now.It took 2 months after adding SCD to see results.
We took all potato and rice products out of his diet. Potato chips,potato flour, rice flour, rice bars (as this time his tummy canhandle 1 rice krispy bar every other week), and we also took juicecompletely out of his diet. He ONLY drinks water with stevia tosweeten it. 1 gallon of water and 3 liquid viles of stevia tastejuice like juice. You can add 1/4 cup blueberry juice to it forcoloring if your child must have the “visual” of juice.
I honestly think that adding SCD to his diet helped very much. Eventhough we didn’t do it 100%. The things that I started cooking withare almond and pecan flours instead of Potato, rice, and tapiocaflours. I also kept soy in the picture as it seems to not botherhim. Stevia is not allowed on the SCD diet but it’s a naturalsweetner from the stevia leaf and it’s a heck of a lot better thansugars from juice even if it is natural. It still feeds yeast.
