Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 > We are new to the diet (just over 2 weeks) and my son cannot tolerate fruit juices or honey at this time. I gave him chamomile tea (caffeine free, nothing else added) and he now asks for it. Is chamomile an accepted herb at the early stage of this diet? > A pleasant hot drink is boiling water with cinnamon and a little vanilla and saccharine added for sweetness. When juiceis tolerated try adding a little orange juice. This also works using cloves instead of cinnamon. Carol F. SCD 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave him chamomile tea (caffeine free, nothing else added) and he now asks for it. Is chamomile an accepted herb at the early stage of this diet? Sorry, but no chamomile is SCD illegal. Here is an excerpt saved from the LongIsland list (a sister SCDlist): " Chamomile itself is a natural relaxant. So even though it has not flavourings or anything, by way of its makeup it is not legal. It really is used as a natural drug to relax muscles etc but can also be very harsh on the gut. I know it makes me run to the loo. just the ones in the book are legal. " My daughter really likes peppermint tea she calls it candy cane tea - perhaps that is an option. It can be sweetened with saccharine since not using honey yet, but you may not even need that. I like it plain.
