SCD stands for "Specific Carbohydrate Diet" and GF stands for "Glutein Free"
(GFCF stands for "Glutein Free Cassein Free") and these diets are targeted
more for the child that has a diagnosis (dx) of Autism and/OR children with
stomach and malabsorption issues OR celiac disease... though some parents of
children with DS alone (no Autism/stomach/malabsorption/celiac dxs) have had
results as well....
I have no experience, judgements or opinions on the subject... just wanting
to clarify the post....
Also, Jamie (the young lady w/DS in question here) has been struggling for
years with these additional issues (autism/stomach/malabsorption) and I have
followed her reports here and there.... and I am *THRILLED* to hear that she
is experiencing some relief (FINALLY!).... so Carol.... please convey my
BEST wishes and prayers to Jamie and Sherri.... I am glad they are getting
some results and I am also thankful that you posted this information on the
list....
Happy Thanksgiving!
Regards,
Shelby :-)
