Questions for : WAPF-style SCD?

[Guest guest]

,

I've been doing some research on the board and discovered that you follow, or at

least

used to follow, the SCD. I've just started the GAPS diet, which I Imagine you

know about,

about three weeks ago.

There are a few foods that seem to be " staples " of SCD/GAPS that I'm having

trouble

locating. The first is dry curd cottage cheese. I realize the Friendship

Dairies is what

everyone on the SCD uses, but I think their cows are grain-fed and raised in

confinement.

I'm not going to go there. I can't locate any organic or grass-fed DCCC, so it

looks like I'll

have to make something like that on my own. Can you suggest a recipe/method?

The second thing is almond flour, and nut flour in general. Obviously my

preference

would be organic. But I am spending almost 15 extra hours a week preparing food

for the

GAPS diet (no joke) above and beyond what I was doing with a Nourishing

Traditions style

diet previously. The thought of blanching organic nuts, removing the skins,

drying them

out, and then making flour - not to mention the significant cost difference - is

pretty

overwhelming. I've tried grinding the nuts without removing the skins, but the

fiber

content is too high and they cause a flare.

Do you use nut flour and do you make it yourself? Do you know anything about

the nut

flour from places like " www.digestivewellness.com " and Lucy's Kitchen? I'm

assuming they

sell nut flours made from commercially-grown nuts with pesticides and all.

95%, or more, of what I consume is organic and a large part of that is local.

But I am

actually considering making an exception with nut flour because of sheer

convenience and

price. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this one way or the other.

Thanks again for your help, . It is much appreciated!

Best,

Chris
