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? Thanks, DelToro kj211@... Why Wait?

Is chamomile an accepted herb at the early stage of this diet? > Ordinary black tea is legal but should be made weak. Instant tea,Ojibwa tea (Essiac), many herbal teas, teas made from bark etc are full of polysaccharides and are illegal. Peppermint and spearmint herb teas are legal, and you can make a tea from ginger which is also legal. Resrict the use of herb teas to peppermint and spearmint (from BTVC) (from Elaine's web site) Carol F. SCD 5 Years, celiac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
