Re: For Fay

[Guest guest]

Hey Fay!

Have you checked into the Healing Crow yahoo board? They are a SCD board that

discusses alternative therapies. Many adults there with UC and enzyme

information, I think a post would yield some good information and I believe

there have been numerous discussions in the past in the archives.

Visit your group " HealingCrow " on the web.

Here is something from the archive, a question to Elaine about " Enzymes and

Probiotics " . http://www.healingcrow.com/scdwisdom/LWscd/lwscd_28.html

Also, the book I keep recommending by DeFelice, she has another book on

enzymes not directed towards children with autism.

Here is a link about the " Autism " one, which covers alot of ground for other

neurological and disease conditions as well. It will still help you understand

enzymes. Check it out at

http://www.ont-autism.uoguelph.ca/rev-enzymes-jan2003.html

One key, I read today that enzymes like peptizyde cannot be used all the time.

You can also contact Dave at www.dd-herbs.com and ask about the use of the

enzyme " BioGestAid II " which we are trialing, whether it is appopriate for UC.

I am thinking that could be a good enzyme because it does not contain papain

or bromelain, and is very low in peptidase.

Also, you can contact Dr. Devin Houston, the developer of Houston's enzymes at

www.houstonni.com. He knows alot of information about enzymes and their actions

generally.

I hope this will give you a good start. Some GI's will give enzyme

recommendations too. It appears from the above conversation with Elaine that

proteases can be irritating and digest the lining in cystic forms of UC.

Matching the right enzyme will be of utmost importance for you.

Fay,

Do you need to use matzoh beyond a crumb at the seder? Aren't the things with

nut flour

are legal for Pesach? Baking soda is not considered leavening like baking powder

is illegal anyhow) . You can use Kedem grape juice instead of sweet ritual wine

for the

child. I make a sort of matzoh brei using a nut pancake that I break up with a

spatula and

fry until well done. It can be done with fried onions too. onions. We did three

wonderful

kugels in cooking class, using vegetables and nut flour. They tasted as good as

conventional. Macaroons just have egg whites, coconut and honey.
