DD has been on SCD for closing in on six months and gets no grains of any kind but we still had a super nasty yeast flareup earlier this week. I have to keep her on antifungals constantly to control it and that is probably not good for her liver. She has such a restricted diet as is. I suspect we'll have to take the plunge and start limiting fruit more, but then she'd be on a diet of only meat and veggies and she really loves fruit. |

I have done so much reading on this topic and still have not found more than 2 sources that agree on any one "cause". Here's a read that I can across during my hunt for truth in healing my daughter, and all that it speaks of is exactly what we experienced. We tried it ALL...except for (at that time) the fermented foods to feed good flora. We did take probiotics but NOTHING worked until we started eating kefir and kim chi. She can now eat anything with no "symptoms"...this includes the occassional birthday party garbage she eats. And since we've been eating the WP way she's only had 2 headaches and NO other symptoms...that's within 8 months, before she'd get about 4 to 6 in a month and every symptom you can think of...headaches, smelly feet, blisters in her mouth, dark circles under the eyes, ezcema, constipation, caught infections easily..colds/flu/pneumonia and on and on and on..... Anywho here's the link to read http://www.regaininghealthnaturally....on_Sense.shtml |
Unfortunately fruits are very high in sugar even if it's legal. This feeds the yeast. My DD has very mild yeast issues but she gets a bad diaper rash if I give her more than one little bit of fruit a day. You could just try keeping low sugar fruis like berries and avocadoes. Avocados make great dessert. Have you tried coconuts? Coconut milk, oil etc. You can make coconut milk jello with stevia. Definitely cut out juices. I know stevia is illegal but it's still the best sweetener if you can't do honey. Sorry to say I haven't been able to get rid of yeast on SCD so I'm doing the yahoo group candida diet, which would be hard for kids without eggs. Have you tried buckwheat? I know it's a complex carb and illegal. However, its gluten free and not really a grain... If you prepare it a la Nourishing Traditions, soaking it in yogurt or water and whey/lemon juice, and then make pancakes or something. This candida diet doesn't recommend it per se but it's the best option if you must cheat. Are you giving her enzymes? |

It looks like my 21m old has a rare genetic disorder, MPS. On a side note, my lil' guy is much MUCH healthier than other MPS kids his age. I am attributing this 100% to his non-vax, non-crap (only SCD), and no antibiotic ever history. Because of all this, I know he is going to be okay. Onwards to another journey. Amy |
