  • Hi hi! Have you heard about - fast abs magic (should be on google have a look)? Ive heard some great things about it and my cooworker got hot 6 pack abs and lost a ton of weight with it.

  • Great video!

  • Phil, to start off the diet, do we have to do the intro diet, or can we just take away the illegals.

  • @zimonsez

    You can take away the illegals but make sure they are getting supplements. If youre able to consult a nutritionist they can give you the best gameplan for your child.

  • I'm wondering why you say not to do both at once? I mean, why not go all the way and do both right off the bat?

  • There are a few reasons. One is that it takes a while to find out what foods your child will like on the GFCF diet. Once your child has a bunch of gfcf legal foods they like then you can start eliminating the ones that arent SCD legal. You also want to know which interventions are effective and which arent . Thats why you do one at a time and introduce new ones after you really know if one is effective or not. You also don't wanna overload yourself or the child with drastic change all at once.

  • My son has been on this diet since March of 2009. We didn't do the GFCF diet first but has done very well on it. He's now echoing a lot of shows and is now potty trained somewhat. He'll go whenever we take him and sometimes on his own. I just wish I could get him to keep his cloths on. He's always got a smile on his face now. He's doing so much better.

  • My ASD son is showing MAJOR improvements on the SCD diet. We did GFCF first and then SCD. He went from a fog and tantrums all day to total clarity, behaving nicely and speaking to strangers. Family and friends could not believe it. He could feel the difference and tells me daily "I'm happy!". It is tough sometimes and there were times I wanted to quit but when I look at my son's smiling, happy face and he appears "normal" it is all worth it.

  • how about insulin resistance... if this is present like it is for may whether they are hypoglycemic etc... Blood sugars remain higher and candida continues to survive. Eliminating the foods is vital, but then according to paleolithic times we did not have potato, grains, obese grain fed animals.Vitamin D, Magnesium, manganese, low omega 3, low inositol, high phosphorus, high omega 6 may all play a role.

  • My son was on the GFCF diet for over 3 years and became really skinny and we didn't notice any difference in his behaviors so we started letting him have wheat breads that we are lucky enough to have my husband make at his job which are free of HFCS and my son is doing well, but I think it would be benneficial to try the SCD though he can have some gluten, he still can't have casein or he will be physically sick and have behavioral problems as well as anxiety.

  • my son was diagnosed ASD when he was 4. he was on an on and off schooling as i am a busy working single mom. but when my son turned 6 that i was serious in getting him to a special school and speech therapy and OT. later introduced him GF/CF, though so strict, and noticed some changes. i always avoided sugar, and hes been on GF/CF for five months and now i want to introduced him to SCD. hes been taking calcuim, enzymes, fruits & veges supplements with DREAM rice milk only.

  • my son was a lot alike Jake before but now i can give him instructions which he follows in. he starts to have focus and eye contact since hes been on the diet for almost 6 months now.

  • Thank you so much for posting this, sharing your experience with this diet and mentioning the website.  Prayerfully the Swine Flu Vaccine won't be mandatory in the fall.

  • WOW, I will def look into this.

    my sons Doc -thoughtfulhouse in TX

    they started us on the gf/cf --and will be starting b12shots soon.The nutr. mentioned this is coming,but didn't get into details at the time.

    I will email them tomorrow and see what they think, if they suggest I start it sooner.

    Thanks so much or that video.

    I watched it a while ago but back then I had no idea what I was hearing..lol..I can a long way/we came a long way in the past yr.

    san

  • hemp oil?

  • lol ok now that i watched the hole video i know to start the gfcf diet first...ok does anyone know werre i can get recipes and meal ideas that are cheap?were i can buy the foods.great video phil ty for sharring

  • hi i have a autistic son.i have done gfcf diet on and off cause i cant simply afford it.but i was wondering can i just start doing the scd diet even though he hasnt been on the gfcf dite

    or do i need to have him on the gfcf diet for a whie first.

  • Hey Phil, just discovered your vids and I think they're absolutely wonderful - thank u. My son Gabriel (7) has been on GFCF for over three years and has made many gains but were ready to take it to the next level bc I know he needs more. I want to implement SCD and would love to know the details of your experience w the diet: hoe long you did it, how long it took to reintroduce certain fruits/vegs and how fast you progressed w stages, if you tried yogurt, ect. I would app. any imput - Thanks

  • And Lastly , ( then I will hush:-) ) The GF/CF takes away the opiates and then the SCD allows the holes in the gut to heal up by killing yeast and other bad gut bugs. When it heals you will find that infractions wont cause terrible symptoms anymore.

  • my son was on SCD strictly longer than 2 years due to sensory issues, but now he eats high quality grains only two times a week. I make sure he get enzymes and fermented foods with his grains to help break them down. It can be a maze thats for sure.

  • and other bad critters. There are many bugs that flourish. Also the wrong carbs causes insulin levels to spike etc. and this causes brain fog, sleep issues, agitation. I do agree that GF/CF should be first then secondly add the SCD and stay on it strict for at least 2 years

  • This is great phil. I wanted to add that the SCD diet is not just good for yeast and thats why I feel its good for every child to be on. The SCD diet at this time is really the main diet for autism now. It not only starves yeast, but other gut bugs like parasites

  • Interesting vid. Any tips for getting rid, or at least managing, the brain fog during the die-off part?

  • actually there are some tips but i think you would have to google them...one is alka seltzer GOLD (gold only)...but my son threw those up so we didnt do that...another includes a supplement called ash or something. we didnt do either though...it only lasted a week and the second time we werent expecting it.

  • Phil I too went the GFCF route then shortly after went SCD. Then I realized we cant just take nutrients out we have to have balance putting them in. So several years later I found BED diet which is all about getting nutrients back in. I saw a huge improvement in that step. Then all through the years I detoxed with energetic medicine which is affordable and GENTLE. Toxins got to come out.But people think I'm weird when I talk energy medicine so i wont elaborate there.Green smoothie anyone?

  • We are getting ready to do the SCD diet after Christmas is over; we have been GFCF since July, and soy, citrus, peanut, and cane-sugar free since October (my dd tested out as allergic to those things). We are doing combination antiviral/antifungal therapy and seeing wonderful results with Nystatin 4 times a day. She is actually sleeping THROUGH THE NIGHT for the first time EVER since she was little and her hyperactivity level is way down. It is amazing what yeast can do to them.

  • Have you looked into LDN as well. My niece started her 2 year old son on it. Within 10 days he had a 5 year vocabulary they did not know he had, he was interacting & looking at his families faces, & he was playing with his toys rather then lining them up. A month later he no longer had sensory issues. He used to scream when his skin touched water, now they can't get him out of the bathtub. Dr. J. McCandless uses LDN, removal of candida, and a good diet in her protocal which has been sucessful.

  • no i havent but it does sound interesting. thanks for the comment!

  • You do a very good job of explaining the diet.Well done! We really need to do some seminars together! hahaha Have you seen my dorky cooking videos on youtube? Just search under SCD legal and they are all there. Kay-lynn

  • SCD is amazing. The results are going so well with my daughter that I have gone on it and my ceiliac symptoms are disapearing too!

  • Looked at the pecan website/ book and am overwhelmed. Took my daughter off grains , potatos and started cooking from scratch.I saw end of almost end of stimming. She was riding bike vs. sitting . . She also began eatting & talking lots more. Did not see die off. She was already on Candex/ still is. What am I missing on this diet? Can you tell me in a simple way about what she actually can\ can't eat, please? What is your opinion of yogurt? I am reading it is very healing and little casein.

  • Hi, How long did Jake stay on both GFCF and SCD diets?

  • Best explanation I've ever heard of SCD. I want to go back and find all the people I've tried to explain it to and try it again. Also wise advice to do GFCF first. Our son made huge gains changing from standard diet to GFCF and again more gains with our own version of SCD (allergic to nuts and eggs so those are excluded). Thank you for the video. Great job.

  • well done

  • Hi, I need to put my boy in this diet. Is there anyone posting 'how-to' cooking videos for SCD? It would be extremely helpful! Thanks.

  • Now she eats chicken, beef, good veggies, pears and the odd banana! I could go on about her progress, but I don't have room! I cannot count how many words she has now. She had 10 words last march.

  • I watched your videos a couple months ago and said I could never get my daughter on the SC diet. Well, after a month on the GFCF diet it was so easy to switch her to the SCD. She was suddenly interested in trying new foods. Now it's been 2 months of SCD. We still have yeast issues and I've had to cut certain veggies and stick with greens. This was a kid who only ate chicken nuggets and toast before!

  • Great stress (unemployment, homelessness, death in the family, etc.) gave me terrible autism-like symptoms after eating specific types of food (wheat, rye bread, chocolate, etc.). Through exercise & eating only white meats, green vegetables, natural yoghurt, oils, etc. I turned this around. I suspect that the relationship between mental/emotional stress and the gut, which can impact normal digestive functioning & gut flora, is the cause of much mental illness in adults as well as children.

  • I go through the exact same as you do. My neurologiste said I was probably in the begining stages of MS. But when I changed my diet, exercised more and reduced the hours I worked, my symptoms faded.

  • thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge.

  • You said it all! Sometimes the SCD is called "Candida Diet" just for reference. I actually went on this diet myself to kill my cancer. The toxins from the yest actually feed cancer and the SCD kills free radicals too. There is also a candida killing herb supplement at your local healthfood store in the vitamin mineral aile. =)

  • Thanks for another informative vid! (you know you really ARE an angel - maybe your devilgirl tat is meant for balance...lol) This vid is a super motivating factor when it comes to the next step in our journey - I'm sooo excited (and a little curious about/not really looking forward to, the die-off season, to be honest - at any rate hope it's a short one). I'll let you know how it pans out - Here goes!!!

  • if I were to start this diet--not me literally--and we see no symptoms of yeast dieoff-would that mean that yeast isn't an issue--without going to the doctor

  • no, yeast may still be an issue. thats when i would move to enzymes and the scd diet and maybe some natural yeast killers. if none of that worked and you still suspected yeast i would see a doctor...but my PERSONAL opinion is that i doubt yeast is an issue in someone who does the scd diet and enzymes and sees no improvement or yeast die off.

  • Phil, your doing a great thing

  • I'm still battling my yeast and can't shake sugar.

  • i think you shake salt and pour sugar. that may be your problem! do you think the two are connected...sugar=yeast food?

  • sugar is yeast food. as kids don't we all make homemade bread at some point by putting yeast packs and sugar into hot water together?

  • sugar encourages yeast to multiply in the digestive tract.. there's a big connection between high sugar diets and yeast infections.

  • I just wanted to say there are alternatives to drugs to kill off the yeast. I've been using grapefruit seed extract & probiotcis for my son. It's working good, his levels are slowly going down. :)

  • great point! i will be bringing this up in the next video about enzymes and probiotics. thanks for your comment!

  • Great explanation Phil - This will be the next thing I tackle - I'm going to have to start testing recipes now... :)

  • do you use the abbls?..what areas does jake still need work on?..
