Tea

" I would love to use bagged tea "

Are we not allowed bagged tea? I thought peppermint tea in bags was OK as long

as only peppermint was listed.

Thanks,

Luckily, I was never a coffee drinker... but giving up hot chocolate was

VERY hard!

PJ,

Due to not seeing enough results on the diet I learned I needed to be extra

stringent and I used measures from the GAPS protocol. They use even more elbow

grease with " make your own, make your own "

Everything I do is SCD legal but reading the book and hanging on the list taught

me some very important tweaks..

After the initial stumbling blocks for me on the SCD and going to an integrative

doc- she addressed thyroid issues and deficiency's and the fact I should not be

eating any soft boiled eggs!!

Boy did I start feeling better and then whammo I ate contaminated meat that

completely derailed me..

Then I incorporated ideas from GAPS..

My life completely changed when stopped buying local apple cider (I tried so

many brands locally here in NYC)

And I started making my own fresh, strained heavily diluted juice.

Thankfully most do not need to go as extreme and like super freak level the way

I had to.

It took me quite a while to learn all of this!

Just like now, limiting carb intake (which I learned from the book " Life Without

Bread " ) has really helped me post surgery to get firm BM's without using

medication. As I am very sensitive to meds. It has been a real turn around for

me..

So it's all like a work in progress. LOL.
