SCD @ 4 Months

I'm starting to question the efficacy of this diet. He hasn't had anything close to solid poop-wise in several months and the blood keeps on flowing. We've introduced a few things every now and again that adults might recommend staying away from (legal fruit leathers, almond flour) just so we can expand the dietary horizon of our 4 year-old son. We've backed off of the almond flour and will probably back off of the fruit leathers as well.

As far as we can tell, we are following the SCD 100%. The naturopathic doctor has given us two supplements which are a little suspicious SCD-wise (a multivitamin and intestinal repair complex) but I haven't noticed bowel changes one way or another. It's the same poop twice a day with a decent amount of blood in the second accompanied by pain.

If nothing else, he's consistent bowel-wise and with that comes some reassurances. Also, he seems to feel good still and does well throughout the day. In my mind, the risks posed by medicating him seem to be greater than those posed by going with the SCD... I just wish I could see some measurable progress in the toilet!
