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?

[PhilCommander2]

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.

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

[PhilCommander2]

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.
