Re: Juice/coconut flour answer

[Guest guest]

Hi Mel,

When I substitute coconut flour with nut flour (since it is dryer) I substitute

one banana per one cup of coconut (it may take longer to bake) so check with

toothpick often (possibly even lowering temp)...Having great success doing this.

We can't digest nuts to easy yet...I like to turn the coconut flakes into " dust "

like consistency with my food processor...this way we can hopefully digest it

easier...haven't seen it in the poop undigested....I think this is a good sign.

When we gave up hope with our GF CF SF experiments.....and committed to the ways

of the SCDIET with no cheating....we started to see the TRUE changes that

started to take our breath away.....our 22 month old ASD daughter has finally

started to talk, play, smile, interact etc etc! Before got relief...but nothing

like this! I have celiac disease that did not respond well to GF CF and even

the starch in my pills where keeping me sick....for the first time in months,

instead of loosing weight I am gaining...and chronic fatigue and depression is

lifting! My husband's ADD is easing up for first time in his life....my son

ADHD and rage attacks are easing up....even our adopted daughters neurological

problem with hyperekplexia related to cerebral palsy...is doing better....this

SCDIET is a God send and to think we are only on day 27.....have much more

healing to do.....but healing takes time.... Go for it! These women on this

list are wonderful! They will keep you on track! God knows they have help us!

God bless Elaine, and all!

Antoinette (entire family day 27) Family problems. Celiac, DH, ADHD, ADD, ASD

and multiple food intolerances.....all of us are doing better on the SCDIET

compared to other ways of eating!!!!

Juice

Hi, everyone,

Well, so far I have removed milk and gluten from the kids' diets and

there have been some slight improvements.

Hard to explain...it's a

subtle change, but it's only been a couple of weeks and we're not

even completely SCD yet! I'm still expiramenting with SCD bread

recipes. I need to find a good bread and a good waffle/pancake

recipe before I try going completely SCD. I have collected tons of

recipes, it's just a matter of trying them all.

I also have a few questions:

1. Coconut - can this kind of flour be used in place of the nut

flours in any recipe here? Do I have to adjust the baking soda or

anything like that? Also, how does one make coconut flour...should

I toast the coconut and then process it?

2. Juices...I have a juice machine...never used it. I was wondering

about other flavors of jello. Does anyone have any other

suggestions besides Welch's grape juice to flavor the gelatin.

Well, that's about it for now. I'm sure I'll have more questions,

but these are the first that come to mind right now.
