Hello everyone,

I've been trying to find the time all week to get my new member intro
out. We've been having a bad week...yeast is back. I know you all
can relate.

My name is Crystal and I have a 2yo DS who has had extreme food
intolerances since birth. I nursed him for the first five months.
He had lots of gurgling the entire time. Diagnoised w/ dairy allergy
with blood in stool at 6 week. Removed all dairy, casein, whey,
etc., from diet. He did better but still problems. Removed wheat,
better, but still problems. At almost 5 months, I got the flu, went
on a Z-Pak and was assured that it would not affect him. Of course I
believed the Dr. who was very wrong. Blood in his stool the next
morning. Put him on Alimentum while I finished meds. He did much
better on the Alimentum but did continue to have some problems,
especially when tried to introduce foods. Rice cereal almost killed
him. Orange foods too. I think many other foods but couldn't figure
it all out. Around 1yo, we put him on EleCare only for almost 8
months because it hurt him less than anything we knew of at the
time. Aug. 1, 2007 started SCD. Unfortunatley he is almost entirely
meat with homemade pearsauce. Since all this, I've research BOD,
LOD, etc. and not sure SCD is right for us. Probably need SCD with
LOD. Have tried to introduce many veggies with no luck. I know
pears are feeding the yeast. Got 1st OAT back last week. High
ammonia levels, high oxalates, high sulfur and lots of other things
high and low that I don't understand. We are really confused as to
what to feed this child since with "think" he has problems with
amines, carotenoids, phenols/salicylates, sulfur, luteins and who
knows what else. I worked with Kelly Barnhill of Thoughtful for
several months trying to get vit, supp, prob, EFA, etc. introduced
but almost everything bothers him. Dr. Krigsman diagnoised small
bowel immotility and chronic colitis. As of today, DS:

- Eats: bison, hamburger, turkey and homemade pearsauce
- Probiotic: SCD safe GI Pro Health probiotic at only 1/2 cap a
day. Any more seems to really bother him.
- Calcium with vit D
- Compounded Pentasa

We have our first appt. with Dr. Rossignol on the 12th and hopefully
he will get us on track.

Thanks for reading my story and I'm looking forward to learning from
all of you!

Thanks to Suzanne for getting the group back together for us newbies.
