Re: regarding a database of packaged foods SCDers use

having a website that lists packaged foods that SCDers use. One the one

hand, it could be a valuable resource for people who are advanced in the

SCD or need to use packaged foods and wish to know the risk based on

other SCDers experience. On the other hand, I think it could be a problem

for new SCDers and may dilute the SCD philosophy of controlling what you

eat (make your own, make your own, make your own).

,

I also have mixed feelings, but I think that by having the list, with an

appropriate cautionary statement on each product, it could be

helpful.

Plus, as has been noted -- there are some people who are using commercial

products, regardless.

The standard caution is, of course, " If you use this product and do

not see the results you want from SCD, then remove this product from your

diet, and make your own. "

I share your caution, but I would trust a site that kept pdf files of letters up

to date. It should not be too difficult to scan the letters and keep them in a

file.

I like to make my own food, but there are times when traveling for instance, or

very busy, to know that there is something out there safe to eat! It would be a

huge convenience.

I'm just grateful to be able to use the Penzey's garlic and onions in a pinch,

but I usually use fresh.

Thanks,
