Citric acid is really troublesome to my family though it is legal. The

juice concentrate would not be legal though.

Not legal -- see earlier post. Only fruit canned in its own juice (not

even pineapple canned in pineapple juice) is SCD legal.

This is interesting, but what I thought as well. On a website touted

as SCD legal recipes, not only are pears in white grape juice listed

as legal, but also Applegate uncured turkey dogs - I believe that

there were older posts about this product and it was discovered that

they were illegal also? If anyone recalls, I'd love to know. Lord

knows it would be super easy to boil a hot dog for dinner

tonight!!! :-)

Which website?

Pears in white grape juice are NOT legal. Only fruit in its own juice

is.

There's a lot of debate about Applegate products. Some people are

convinced they are OK. Some people say that only some of their products

MAY be OK. Some people say no processed food is legal.

I fall into the middle category. Some MAY be OK for SOME people.

I can tell you that their sliced beef lunch meat is not OK for me -- gave

me the runs in double quick time. I have looked at their hot dogs many

times. The blue label ones MIGHT be OK.

Hot dogs do make an easy dinner. That's why I created a recipe for making

my own.

I make hot dog bun wrappers out of souffle bread and spread it with

homemade mustard, add a dog and cheese and heat in the oven.

Hmm, wonder how hot dogs made of bison would come out?

Boy, I hate to give it a bad name, because I've found some wonderful

things from it, so please be kind - it's Nomorecrohns.com. Under the

prepared foods section.

Kim,

There really are some great recipes there.

In fairness to the site, I must note that at the bottom of their list,

they say, " NOTE: As with any prepared product, make a note of

whether they give you any symptoms. If so, discontinue use. Not all

companies detail which ingredients make up less than 2% of the total

product, so a sure way of finding out what is in the product is to ask

them for a list of ingredients in writing before you try a product. Refer

to " Breaking the Vicious Cycle " for more instructions about

prepared products. "

So they do warn people that some of the prepared foods they use may not

be suitable for newbies or for individuals with specific sensitivities.

It's just that many people are so eager to escape the perceived drudgery

of Make Your Own that they ignore such warnings.

These are the items which are listed as prepared foods that I would not

use, or would approach with caution:

Small cans of Dole Pineapple Orange Juice: BTVC does not permit juice

mixtures.

Real Lime and Real Lemon Juice: use fresh or fresh frozen. I admit that

the bottle would be easier, and take up less space in my poor,

overstuffed refrigerator than the two dozen lemons I have in there right

now, but I won't trust it.

Luv Yu Pineapple Salad Vinegar: I've never seen this one, so don't know

what the label says. I would probably be cautious with it until my gut

decided whether or not it liked it.

Spice world minced garlic: too likely to have a preservative added. I buy

and peel fresh garlic, then freeze or dehydrate it.

Decaffeinated Lipton tea: unless I had a letter delineated that this is

water-decaf and not chemically done, I would not use this

product.

elli's Sparkling Apple Cider: not legal -- there have been a number

of discussions on this over on Pecan Bread.

North Coast Apple Sauce: Make Your Own! It's easy, and safer!

Applegate Farms Uncured Turkey Hot Dogs (all other types are not

legal): I prefer homemade, though I have tested these. My husband

(non-SCD) likes them a lot, and says they let my homemades stretch for

me. (Meaning there's less time between him being drafted to help me make

sausage.) I was OK with these, but because I have other issues of

unavoidable illegals (one med which cannot be compounded), I prefer not

to run the risk.

Spectrum Organic Mayonaise: not legal. Make your own.

Lara Bar legal flavors: Ginger Snap, Pecan Pie, Cherry Pie, Cashew

Cookie, Apple Pie, Pistachio, Lemon Bar, Cinnamon Roll, Peanut Butter

Cookie: I've eaten these and been okay with them in an emergency. People

who cannot tolerate whole nuts or much fruit should avoid like the

plague.

Gala Apple Juice: no commercial apple juice is legal. Use apple cider

instead.

Freeze-Dried Mango: probably legal -- I would want to see the package

before using.

Salsa Verde: might be legal. (We can use pickles if the ingredients are

legal, and mustard, but I would be approach this with great care.)

100% Wild Blueberry Juice: not one of the approved juices. Approach with

caution.

Peach Halves in white grape juice: not legal. Only fruit in its own juice

is legal.

I repeat -- I love the site -- but I sometimes thing that people can be

too hasty in pronouncing something as legal because they want it to be

legal. These are clearly products which the site owner has found useful,

but which may not be advised for everyone.

As always, what you choose to use is your business. If, however, you are

not seeing the results you hope for from SCD, eliminate all non

home-prepared foods and then see how it goes.
