RE: Last-minute Thanksgiving help??

[Guest guest]

I empathize with your situation, Christy. I have lots

of foods I avoid that are SCD allowable.

Your pie sounds scrumptious.

Others will likely give you suggestions for stuffing.

It's not Thanksgiving Day here in Canada, but if I were

celebrating, I'd probably include lots of veggies that

I tolerate, such as zucchini, green beans, and cauliflower.

I love cranberries, so I'm dreaming about buying them

for Christmas.

I might have a bowl of avocado and lemon juice or

nut milk yogurt plus maybe some hand-peeled shrimp.

I ate that yesterday. I eat weird snacks. :-)

I might eat a treat that I don't usually eat, like frozen

banana.

What do you eat each day?

What is healing your digestive system?

I find that broths with small amounts of fish or turkey

or lamb plus select veggies help me. It sounds as if

you're not truly on SCD. I don't think you can do SCD

as a vegetarian, if that's what you are now, because

of the symptoms.

It's difficult. Hang in there!

Happy SCD Thanksgiving in the midst of the struggle. :-)

Does anyone have any tips for what I can make today?

Things I'm avoiding:

- nuts

- dairy (though I think I'll slip here and have SCD french cream on

the pumpkin pie)

- all meat (including poultry & fish)

- eggs

- carrots

- usual SCD no's

Happy SCD Thanksgiving, everyone!

Stuffing is my very favorite

part of Thanksgiving, and I'm wondering if there's a grain-free, nut-free

alternative?

Well, I just took a test-recipe out of the oven which is made with two

cups cooked mashed, drained celeriac (but suspect you could use a summer

squash if you tolerate that better), 2 eggs (should have been 3), chopped

celery, chopped onion, and homemade poultry seasoning. It's a bit soft,

hence my comment about the extra egg, but pretty tasty.
