I feel with the more esorteric stuff one can never know with the SCD so I rather ask than assume! Well, I agree... better to ask than assume. Still, you did provide your own answer. <g> Sometimes certain things are legal or illegal and I would of never guessed it.. like young coconuts. Well, you know, that's an odd one. But I think it's like so many other things. For instance, slippery elm is often prescribed by naturopaths for gut issues because it ostensibly soothes the gut. But slippery elm is another of those mucilaginous plants with lost of polysaccharides, so while it may provide temporary relief of the symptoms, it will ultimately feed the bad bacteria and continue the vicious cycle. I have not yet found studies which would allow me to make a personal determination about the coconut water. So far, the best break-down on it that I've found is here: http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/nut-and-seed-products/3115/2 Yes, it's rich in potassium, but it also has a lot of sugars in it that I just don't know enough about to be willing to consume, regardless of all the fans coconut water has. For that reason, I'll continue to stand by Elaine's ban on it. Just as an FYI, I had electrolyte imbalance after surgery, too. I'd just gotten things back to normal after the surgery, using vegetable smoothies into which I tipped a cap or two of E-lyte when blending. Then I had to do the colonoscopy, and my electrolytes went to H-ll in a hand basket. I haven't yet gotten them back in order, and I'm battling lymphedema as a result. I didn't get to have my vegetable smoothies while I was traveling, and I need to get back to them. You might consider something like that. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
