Re: As a guest - or - Butter?

[Guest guest]

This could have been a reaction to something in the environment. As I

celiac and an individual with MCS, I have these reactions . Read this

but be aware the SCD itself does not place restrictions on non food

items we do not ingest.

Orlinda,

Did you take your own safe butter? Or was it something your friend

provided? Many people do not differentiate between " butter " and

" margarine " or the blends.

One list member had a serious problem when she ate out and ordered shrimp

with butter and garlic. Turned out the restaurant used a processed

powdered mix to make their " garlic butter " instead of real

garlic and real butter.

Even real butter is something to keep an eye on -- one person recently

discovered that a company had started adding " natural flavors "

to the unsalted butter she was purchasing to make ghee.

SCD and our health requires on-going vigilience.

Marilyn,

I already had my carrots buttered when they were hot at home. That's

a good warning about " natural flavors " in butter. I hadn't looked at

the label in a while. . . It doesn't list anything.

Thanks for your help.

Carol,

I asked my friend if she had ground any wheat or other grains, and she

hadn't for a couple days. I will ask her about cleaning products or

anything like that.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Orlinda,

Perhaps it could be something simple like you swallowing more air when you're eating and talking excitedly with your friends.

Besides bad bacteria emitting unwanted gas (if butter is the culprit) . . . gulping food down (not chewing food well or swallowing quickly before talking), which you may not be aware you're doing, can introduce air in your belly that can cause that fullness or bloatedness you feel. Just guessing.

Well wishes to all. ferna, UC/CD, SCD 97, 05, 06, No Meds

Sunday, for dinner, we were at a friends house and I

felt bloated after dinner. I brought my own food and ate the same

things I'd been eating all week. I had the same problem last Sunday

too, at the same house for dinner, but the bloating seemed more

intense.

Any suggestions?
