Re: Kefir -- homemade- advanced!

[Guest guest]

Thank You Ann!!

I really need to look at this website way more and start studying it!

I want to remind -everyone- especially newbies that Kefir is considered an

extremely advanced food. This should only be tried when one has been on the

diet for a while, feeling good.

Especially the way I make it -- with raw milk! For those who have advanced

steadily toward the raw stage, it is a way to make things lactose-free and very

digestible since it contains so many digestive enzymes. For those with yeast

problems -- which I fortunately never had -- it probably is not an option. It

is a culture that has a mind of its own, and it can pick up yeasts that it does

not start out with.

For pancreas-damaged patients, long-fermented foods (48 hours at room temp), or

long-aged raw cheese, pre-soaked, non-roasted nuts, raw unfiltered honey, and

fresh or dried fruits and a few fruits that pass as vegetables (avocados,

tomatos, olives) are just about the only things that can be used by the

digestive system. Am I the only pancreatitis SCD practitioner on the list, I

wonder?

If so, my posts are not really to the point.

Ann,

You're really sweet.

I may have had an alleged pancreatitis attack when I traveled a while back.

But, I most probably have biliary sludge issues. Kim M has Sphincter of The

Oddi.

Some have issues tolerating fats. Some IBD'ers disease advanced that it affects

other organs etc.

There are many colors of the rainbow on these lists with a multitude of health

problems!

IMO, I feel everyone who makes tweaks to the SCD should share it. This is how

some of us that struggle learn from one another and that way we all can use

critical thinking for ourselves. We are all here together to share and support

one another!

It is just important since there are many new people to the diet.. to label

advanced food items " advanced " . I made the critical mistake when I first

attempted the diet years ago to jump right into almond flour. I got so

incredibly sick that I wrote SCD off entirely. Luckily I kept the book and had

the sense and grace from *somewhere* to look at it again.

So, I think what you say is very much to the point. I just think it's critical

to preface it since your main focus is Pancreas issues and not severe Crohn's or

Ulcerative Colitis etc. Even so.. I am sure since we are all different you will

find fellow sufferers with your ailment doing something totally different.

That is the beauty of SCD we can tailor it to suit our own individual needs.

I wish I found it sooner.
