The world's most handsome boy and diets

Just in case you don't know, below is my son, Kai, the cutest and most handsome little man in the world. He is on a very strict diet, not because he needs to lose weight, but because of his autism. All natural or organic specific carbohydrate diet to deal with all his gastrointestinal issues. If you have Crohn's Disease or IBS, or other GI issues I suggest you look into the diet here. I may be featuring some of his food in this blog which makes this post quasi-relevant to the title of my blog. Anyways, a lot of issues with GI has to do with pathogens ie bacterial, viral and/or yeast. I reckon Kai had all three. But basically, only protein, fat and fast absorbing carbs (mostly only fruit) can be eaten in the specific carbohydrate diet (we had to take it a step further to add glucose to the fruit to help quicker absorption into the system rather than linger in the gut. Pathogens live on carbs and less carbs in there, the pathogens starve and are killed off. About a week after Kai started this diet he stank worst than a trash can for weeks (this is good as it was a sign of detoxing and the pathogens dying off). Don't forget a large part of your immune system is in your GI tract (basically from your mouth to where the sun don't shine) and a healthy GI tract is good for your immune system. Don't forget your probiotics.
