Guest guest Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hi all, Does anyone know what the problem is with fried foods? Would an enzyme help with this? I am desperate for my little boy to have something crunchy again (gf rice krispies WERE his favorite and ONLY treat prior to SCD) Also, could someone recommend a low allergen SCD compliant food that I might try next. Emma...what did you try when adding new foods in the beginning? What would be the best enzyme to use for these foods? BTW Peyton's agression is really toning down and he seems better, but still very stimmy and disconnected. Thanks, Tammy Mom of Peyton 2.5 ASD (scd 5mos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 > > I give beet chips to my son. They are fried in > safflower oil. I believe they are legal. Beet chips are legal. I slice mine on a " V " vegematic mandolin slicer but bake them. First spray a cookies sheet with oil, arrange beet slices, spray tops with oil and bake at 375-400 F until crisp. You may wish to turn them once halfway through. Carol F. SCD 5 years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Does this happen when using " high temperature oils " too? We have been using Spectrum safflower oil and the label says that it is refined for high temperature and that it's good up to 450 degrees. --- carolfrilegh c.frilegh@...> wrote: > > > > > Hi all, > > > > Does anyone know what the problem is with fried > > foods?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Carole, Sheila, or Jody What about frying or " brushing " with coconut oil? What about drying the carrots? I don't want to do anything to mess with his healing, I just would like for him to be able to have a snack. If you recommend against it, I won't do it. He has been on SCD for 5 months now. He has one bowel movement a day and it is very painful for him. It is mixed: some form and some sludge, but not healthy looking yet. Still unable to find a calcium supplement that doesn't cause a rash all over his abdomen??

Elaine did not like it at all.. It is less high in euric acid than in former years but is from hybrid rapeseed and can be genetically modified. An occasional batch of squash chips probably wouldn't do harm, but personally I would bake, rather than deep fry often. Carol F.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 actually im very interested in this i made the boys some carrot chips - completley forgot - still waiting for my book but have had email from dw - finally sent it!!) fried food is advanced i too was looking for a snack - i have to say they loved them kai hasnt been to bad - they havent come through undigested fian they came through as they went in - should have known better - just didnt think so i too was wondering if i could 'roast' the carrots? it sounds like your little one is calcium toxic - do you supplement with magnesium - it may help to bring the calcium levels down a little thanks emma twigtam@... wrote: Carole, Sheila, or Jody What about frying or " brushing " with coconut oil?

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Tammy, Would you be open to trying NAET? It's an alternative method of eliminating allergies. It has helped some people include more variety in their diets.

Strong flavored olive oils can be used for frying fish or other strong flavored ingredients. A mellow late harvest Mission variety oil could be used in baking a cake. Olive oil has a high smoke point, 410 degrees F, and doesn't degrade as quickly as many other oils do with repeated high heating. Use a variety of healthy vegetable oils when preparing food and incorporate a good extra virgin olive oil when you want its health benefits and wonderful Mediterranean flavor. Carol F.

Kiritsakis, a world renowned oil chemist in Athens, (Book - OLIVE OIL FROM THE TREE TO THE TABLE -Second edition 1998), all oils will oxidize and hydrogenate to a tiny degree if repeatedly heated to very high temperatures such as is done in commercial frying operations. Olive pomace oil and virgin olive oil are both highly monounsaturated oils and therefore resistant to oxidation and hydrogenation. Studies have shown oxidation and hydrogenation occurs to a lesser degree in olive oil than in other oils. But in any case, the amount of hydrogenation is miniscule and no home cook would ever experience this problem. Carol F.
