]]> Comment on Nutritional Support for Eczema by Therese http://www.organicthrifty.com/2009/10/14/nutritional-support-for-eczema/comment-page-1/#comment-5492 Therese Mon, 29 Nov 2010 17:43:30 +0000 http://www.organicthrifty.com/?p=446#comment-5492 Hi, I thought of a dear friend who has been suffering from eczema and gut disbiosis for some time. She is also Type II diabetic. Some of this information will be great for her. Thank you:-) I would like to add that Dr. N. Campbell-McBride first put her young autistic son through the SCD before her development of the GAPS diet. And the SCD has a long run of support for children, parents and adults with any gut disbiosis as well as autism spectrum disorders. The web site peacanbread.com also has a place for a SCD (specific carbohydrate diet) enhanced, meaning all the lacto fermented foods. SCD is more straight forward than GAPS and easier. Less restrictive as well, and with our son (who also had a severe eczema outbreak on his hands along with a severe gut disbiosis.....gluten free didn't help) it worked immediately healing every symptom as well as rebuilding his gut/immune system. Our grown daughter's acne and hormone imbalances are healing too since she started following the recommendations and using cod liver oil. We are happy, grateful folks around here! Therese Hi,

He was a carb junkie, but loved italian food like meatballs, so that helped. I could also make turkey or chicken into meatballs, and pack that in his lunch. Lunch was the first meal we started making "grain free". I would generally pack some form of meat he liked, sliced fruit, and now we are up to veggie fries or a nut meal cookie, sometimes a dairy free pudding or a mini pumpkin pie (larger version of Squash buttons recipe on pecanbread.com). It all starts one meal and snack at a time, introducing healthier versions of their favorite foods and new healthier foods like turkey, veggies, fruits, etc. What saved the day for us was joining an amazing autism association called Talk About Curing Autism Now, which is nationwide. They have a huge recipe database (GFCF and SCD recipes) and referred me to websites that also had SCD or GAAPS diet recipes. When I went to one of their local support meetings, I was handed a free handbook on curing autism that had all the recipes in it, and everything I would ever want to know about biomedical approach to autism. Here are the websites I want to share. Anybody on a special diet can use these for their kiddos. they have great healthy meals and snacks my kids love to eat! www.tacanow.org and www.pecanbread.com It takes lots of time and patience to balance out a child’s diet.

I've noticed that my local Costco employees all seem to be very happy, and they have worked there for years, so I figured itw as a great place to work! Good to know. Yes, the chicken broth is a great deal, and it is nice to have those for busy times, I agree! Thanks for the feedback! @Jamie,

Do you know if Bybee Farms are from China? Great point about the Quinoa!!! I was so excited to see that too. The Organic Peanut Butter is a great price too; you get a two-pack for about $6.00 or so. Thanks! @Lisa,
