For example, it sounds like most of us were going blythely about our lives before either having kid[s] with issues or suddenly having issues ourselves. Im NOT advocating SAD, I just really dont get it. Ive talked a lot about dis-ease with Dh and he underscores that people just get sick, no one expects it. I guess that's just the way it is. Sorry if Im a downer - I guess Im working on the acceptance part of this *journey* as much or more than the symptoms and diet/treatment. ...or acceptance is part of my journey.... bla bla bla

I struggle with these issues daily, esp when the results are so slow in coming.
I think that we are striving for a level of health that most people never consider is possible. And by not possible I mean they are unwilling to change their lives because they are so addicted to SAD. Many people talk to me about my diet because they have problems (yeast, IBS) and a couple of them have attempted some form of SCD or NT.. In Enzymes for Autism, she mentioned a timeline for gut healing and said with the enzymes and no or very little diet changes you should be well on the way to healing in 2-3 months. I wish! Right now I am stuck in the begining stages of SCD, eating about 15 foods, afraid to try anything for fear that DS's cheeks will rage out of control. They are on the verge of being out of control now and I have no idea what it is from, I feel ready to give up. His cheeks are far worse then they ever were when I was eating SAD and I don't think that it is from 'healing reactions.'
