Poor Jody,

:-P

You sound as frustrated as we do sometimes, trying to explain

Glenn's dietary options (organic, rotation, SCD/LOD, CF, low

phenol/salicilyte, less IgG reactants - nearly forty of 'em). Lol.

allowable

You're so right. There ARE a lot of choices, even with Glenn's

parameters. But I think that a lot of " normal " people can't really

wrap their heads around the idea that kids don't need to eat

prepackaged stuff to be happy.

> SCD is NOT equivalent to Atkins.

> SCD does NOT restrict the QUANTITY of carbohydrates.

> It only restricts carbohydrate choices.

It's that last bit - the " choice " aspect I think, that throws

folks off...we're so used to convienence foods - even healthy ones -

that it is easy to forget that fruits and veggies are the origional

fast foods, lol.

We've got a lot of friends in the med field, and they say the

same things you're irritated by. I always ask them if they don't

consider fruits/veggies carbs...and they always say.. " Oh - I forgot

about those! " . Those guys especially oughtta know better, lol.

Please don't become too aggravated over this...there is always

going to be some issue that needs going over ad nauseum; and it is

SO worth it to be able to tweak somebody's perspective a bit.

You all (the die hard listmembers/moderators) do a fabulous job. I

am happy to be on a list where people care so much about what they

do. I hope that 2006 brings good health, healing and a boatload of

patience for all of us. :-)
