Introduce gluten -also anyone on scd
Before my son started the gf/cf diet we did a peptide test for glutenand casein. We got the test back and it showed that casein was reallyhigh but that gluten was normal. Due to the results of the test westarted the gf/cf diet.
Since then, I have observed my sons reaction to gluten and caseininfractions. He definitly reacts badly to casein, but the few gluteninfractions we had showed no reaction at all.
My son has done well on the diet, so I hesitate to change. Has anyoneelse tried introducing gluten under similar situations and beensuccessful?
On top of everything, I am just now looking into the SpecialCarbohydrate Diet (SCD) and I would like to know what peoplesexperiences have been and how it has helped (doing it in addition todoing gf/cf). Thanks.

We are not 100% SCD anymore but were at one time. That along withyeast med’s, bacteria med’s, and GFCF helped heal my sons gut but itwasn’t until SCD that his gut finally completely healed from leakygut.
After several months of SCD we added a few non-scd legal things backinto his diet such as soy and stevia. We also use Tapioca flour. Westill try to stay away from rice and potatos b/c his yeast doe flareback up when he has something with it in it.
SCD is definately worth it if your child has gut problems. The onlything is that when we went SCD we started cooking with a lot of nutflours like Almond and Pecan flour. That made his Oxalate level gosky high. That too can cause problems.
Trying_Low_Oxalates is a message board you can go to and learn aboutthe Low Oxalate Diet and how Oxalates can effect our kids.

We are SCD compliant. We have very positive results from a combinationof diet, supplement and educational therapies. We are now oncompletely home made organic products. We are currently on meats and afew veggies, but hope to add more foods back within a few months.

I never did the testing, but my son significantly improved when Iadded back wheat with HNI enzymes, and removed rice and corn.

I would be very careful reintroducing gluten with the test scores you mention.The reason I say this is our daughter’s casein scores were not markedlydifferent (both times very high) when she was on almost no milk versus no milkfor several years but still getting gluten in both cases. (I hate to think howhigh her score on casein would have been when she was still getting her usualpre-diet amounts of milk.) My understanding is that gluten, which was somewhathigh the first time we tested (but way below milk) and somewhat higher but stillnot as high as milk on the second, can cross-react with the probe for the caseincompound.Otherwise there would have been no way her milk score could have goneup or been as high as it was either time, considering how little she was getting(no liquid milk, cheese, ice cream, etc., and only the whey in chickenMcNuggets). Therefore, you might see over time that there are problems afterhe’s been back on gluten for a while. You might not, however, but I’d be very observant of behavior, digestive issues, and the likeif you do decide to put him back on gluten.
Hope this helps.
